That is one hot picture of Catherine’s future husband. Holy crap!
I am a fellow Canucks Lover and I have to agree with the fact that Nazzy is done. He was done a couple years ago. The thing is, I disagree that Trevor is the best man for the job. I think he’s a better choice than Naslund right now, but the sad thing is that he’s the best choice in a bad situation, rather than the best man for the job. I think our team is desperately lacking for leadership. They are all playing willy-nilly without a sense of purpose. They need someone to show them how to play as a cohesive unit, rather than each guy doing the best he can for his himself. They need to learn to do the best they can for the team, as a team. I think Trevor could certainly help them out for a bit in that capacity, but we need a long term solution for a Captain. One that comes back every year and grows in strength with the team. I don’t think we have anyone like that right now…………please still like me!
OMG! I can’t WAIT until hockey starts…..
Of course I still like you!
I’m sticking by my point, though: I think Linden has the gravity and history that will get him taken seriously right now. I do doubt that they’ll ever put the C on him, or that he would even take it from Naslund… that’s just how he is.
You’re very right that we need a captain who can take us through the next few years, and I don’t think Linden is going to be there long term, signed this year or otherwise.
But right now? And with the sheer quality of his leadership? He will be the de facto captain we need.
I agree wholeheartedly with you Meg and I think it’s appalling that the Canucks are more interested in unveiling their new ‘away’ sweaters than signing the one player who has, and hopefully will again, lead the team through the playoffs.
I’m not a Canucks fan by any stretch, but us Oilers fans have been feeling the same pain for the last season (at least since Chris Pronger said Edmonton sucks). We’re in much the same situation, except that at least we’ve been able to sign some big-ish names since July 1 (Sheldon Souray and Dustin Penner). Not so sure who our captain is going to be…but hey, if the Canucks don’t sign Linden, we’d take him.
Thank you, Meg! I agree completely! You said exactly what I’ve been thinking so much better than I could have.
Great timing on the post, btw! I just got an email from the Canucks saying that Trev has been re-signed. :)
yay!!! welcome back, Trev! you are a gentleman and a perfect role model for the sport of hockey! and you are pretty damn cute too!
I agree with Shannon that my future husband looks gorgeous.
You should have sent this to the Province or the Vancouver Sun. You expressed yourself a hell of a lot more eloquently than the writers whose pieces usually appear in the Sports section!
It’s the best game you can name!
That’s a GOOD picture of the man!
