Now in Aus. Was absolutely devastated when I read He might be retiring. The epitome of a gentleman, I still can’t believe it. When he was traded I actually stopped supporting the Canucks. He will be sorely missed. Wish I could have been at that last game. Lived in Vancouver for 10 years. Now in Aus. Was absolutely devastated when I read He might be retiring.

Linden was, and still is, a great player and character on and off the ice. Its just too bad he decided to stay with such a shitty NHL team for most of his career. Great post Rob.

I suspect he’ll take some time to chill but i am intrigued to see where he puts his talents and intellect (really, a hockey player with a brain) next whether it be public policy or coaching – he’ll do it right. He’s like the cool older brother who’d score you chicks, buy you beer, have your back in a scrap, and make sure you got home all right. Cheers to 16.

That was a brilliant tribute, Rob. It says a lot about the man, that he managed to have such a profound effect on your life in such a short time. But it’s no surprise, given that he is so humble, hardworking, charitable, and a great player. If you can hack the Bryan Adams track, I found this Linden tribute on Youtube.

It even brought a tear to my eye and I know nothing about the guy……or ice hockey, for that matter. But very good luck to him in the future. XX Very well written, Robbie.

A succinct, yet extremely accurate recap of an absolutely incredible career, and a fitting tip of the hat to just a great person. Long live #16.
