  1. Hope Trevor sees this. He's my favourite hockey player (of all time, any team) and I know he gave his heart as team President. His agency was taken from him, he took the best path forward. He was not allowed to shape the team as it needed to be shaped, but fans know.

  2. Perhaps Benning had mentioned another player who he had thought should be their selection, but we all know the result of the discussion/debate where the team actually selected EP. Not saying Linden is a liar but I am saying Linden is choosing to use one part of the discussion to throw shade toward Benning. Much like giving him a sucker punch. But does it all really matter, not at all. We all know Trevor was a crappy President, and Benning was a shitty GM, and the team they had put together was one of the worst

  3. Now THAT'S what you call some high quality Vancouver Canucks content!
    Donnie, Dhali ,background guy with the weird laugh top notch stuff!
    Unlike those amateurs Sekeres & Price interviewing some random dude that sits behind a bench like people give a shit!
    You guys just get it! 🍻

  4. Trevor always was, and still is to this day, a class act and we are lucky to have him in our Canucks history and family.

  5. It's nice to see Trevor looking happy and relaxed. You can hear it in his answers. Everybody knows what happened more or less and he gave real answers and didn't throw anybody under the bus. Cudo's to Rick and Don for having a relaxed atmosphere that puts their guests at ease.

  6. As much as Trevor doesn't like Benning and what happened he won't throw him under the bus. He's a class individual.

  7. I think Stick and Rink with the Colors of the Skate and the Skate with the Colors of Stick and Rink . And a Blend of All the Colors for Johnny . Stick that in your Pipe and Smoke It !

  8. I met Mr Linden a couple years back at a remote mountain lodge. For fun he and others would hike
    20 plus kms and climb basic mountain routes. Extremely fit and a true gentleman. A natural
    leader.

  9. Always a treat to hear from Linden. I love that they're painting the connection between him and this new group. Makes me want to cheer for our team all the more!

  10. I’ll never understand bringing on a guy like Trevor, who arguably would know everything about the hockey side of things inside and out better than anyone else, a guy who played 16 seasons for the canucks- and then just letting him walk.

    absolute incompetence from the top down- at least we seem to be past that now

  11. Trevor is such a class act, i wish he was still with the organization in some facet. I 100% agree with what he said.

  12. Linden is one of the classiest guys you will ever come across. On and off the ice. He was a great role model for me growing up in Vancouver and we are blessed to have had him
