What a pleasure it was to watch him when i was young. Such a great man there are no words. Inspiration would be an understatement

[Hexinvir]

This brings a tear to my eye everytime I watch this... we miss you Linden

[htm986]

Is that the theme from Jurassic park!? WTF??? Hahahaha

[McFreeSKy]

Miss ya Trev

Behind the scenes, Linden is still captain of the team.

The infamous Linden trade made possible the acquisitions of Luongo and the Sedins, the two most recent captains. During his second stint, Linden, along with Luongo, had actually invested confidence in the Sedins when others hadn't, thereby making possible their leadership development.

Linden was one special player whom, no matter what you did with him, was going to strengthen the team one way or another.

he will forever be on of the greatest captains in canucks history...

[illogicaI]

my whole family's house were watering up during this :(

[broadstreet2]

Hire this guy for your executive team Gillis. And when the Canucks win the Cup, let Roberto Luongo do a Joe Sakic so Linden becomes the first Canuck in history to hoist it.

[NeilPeartisGod14]

I remember watching this on TV and crying.

Greatest Canuck, and always will be.

One of the best players to ever wear a Vancouver Canucks jersey. Love this guy.

[CLKFTW]

This is why I'm a Canucks fan. Sometimes it can be painful, sad, and frustrating. But memories of #16 make it all worthwhile.

[ooklutz]

I totally agree. That is why I am a Canucks fan.

I get chills everytime I watch this.

Is it just me, or does Linden's brother look like someone famous?

[KWCline91]

Almost looks like the guy who defeated Ken Jennings!

[mamarox73]

i was there it was one of the saddest moments ever for my

[hockeyqueen]

I cry everytime I see this. What a classy ceremony for a true class act. Thank u for everything Trevor. You will always be Captain Canuck

[broadstreet2]

Wow, what an honour indeed for Linden. Haha, every time I hear the Jurassic Park theme from now, I'll be thinking of Linden.

I only wished he stayed on longer to win the Cup (he'd have done better playing with young wingers).

Otherwise, I wished they traded him to the Wings last Feb, whom I (accurately) felt were Stanley Cup bound. That would have been the day the Canucks brought home the Stanley Cup.

Dito. It's near impossible to get good hockey in Nevada. Kudos for posting the whole thing.

Thanks for posting this up. I was in the states and as you know, hockey doesn't exist. I had my PVR set up to tape this and for some reason, it never picked it up. I was truly bummed. Anyway, like I said, thanks for taking the time to post this up.
