Trevor Linden will announce his retirement at a news conference in Vancouver on Wednesday. Linden hangs up his skates after 18 seasons in the NHL, mostly with the Vancouver Canucks, where he was a fan favourite.

    :( Not unexpected, but still sad to see. If it happens that is, which I suspect it will.

    He was a real class act. I don't listen to Dan Russel on 'NW much, but I was listening last night and him and a calller were going on about "Well Linden never reallly did anything after the 94 cup run."

    Vancouver loved Linden not just because he was a great player, but because he had class--as evidenced by his behaviour on-ice and all the off-ice stuff he did for kids in need. And he had heart--he never scored as much as Bure, but the bigger teh game, the better Linden played, culminating in his two goals in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals versus teh Rangers.

    I'm looking forward to seeing number 16 hanging from the rafters.

    Are you gay for Trevor, Regina? I'm just kidding--I'm gay for Trevor, too. Ha ha ha.

    Seriously, those were the worst sweaters in NHL history. The Islanders had a stinker for a while too. Interesting tidbit...this was almost the Bluies alternate jersey before getting vetoed by Mike Keenan. Too bad--the Blues would have taken the record away from us for ugliest jersey.

    Well, it's a sad day for Nucks fans, but we did know it was coming. I hope they offer him a job in the organization. In charge of player development would be a good one for Trevor.

    That's a rather busy jersey, but I think it looks real cool.
