With the pre-season coming up soon, I might as well start off this long thread.
The biggest news so far is that as I expected, the Canucks will be retiring Trevor Linden's #16.

祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

Expect a lot of man-tears in the building that night! I still get choked up when I remember the last game and the love he got from the fans and everyone else on the ice (and I was fortunate enough to be there!) Iginla bringing the rest of the Flames out to shake his hand is one of the classiest things I've ever seen from ANY athlete.

I, for one, will definitely be around a TV that night.

I noticed in the Province today that the season opener (vs the Calgary Flames) will feature a tribute to Luc Bourdon. Hopefully the (well deserved) tribute to TL will be on another night. TL deserves his own night, as does the memory of Luc Bourdon.

"Trevor Linden Night" has already been announced - #16 will become only the second Canucks jersey raised to the rafters, during the home game vs. Edmonton, on Dec. 17.

And when was the sellout, eye-tearing ceremony at BC Place when Lui Passaglia's #5 or Jamie Taras' #60 had their numbers retired.Soundy wrote:"Trevor Linden Night" has already been announced - #16 will become only the second Canucks jersey raised to the rafters, during the home game vs. Edmonton, on Dec. 17.

I dunno about you, but I got pretty misty at that one.
You may not have noticed, but it's actually not as easy to sell out a 60,000-seat venue as it is to sell out an 18,000-seat venue.

But when the seats at the 60,000-seat venue are a tenth of the price of the 18,000-seat venue...?Soundy wrote:I dunno about you, but I got pretty misty at that one.

Do you think if Linden had retired back when there were 6,000 people going to Canuck games they would have sold out? Possibly not.

Just because the Canucks have disappointed you recently doesn't mean that you need to bump hockey down a notch, maybe you just need a new team, try backing a winner see how that makes ya feelWakesbetterthanyou wrote:The canucks, like the last few years, will be incredibly hard to watch.....the canucks basically drove me to declare football as my #1 sport...i cant watch that drivel no more.
