Canucks re-sign Linden!

Hurrah! The Vancouver Canucks have re-signed Trevor Linden for another year! I hope the Canucks have a good run this year. It might be a long shot but I think Linden is one of those players that deserves a Stanley Cup.

The Canucks will need some luck and more support for Luongo to have a realistic chance at the Cup, though. Last year they were basically the same team that missed the playoffs previously, but the addition of Luongo took them to the second round.

Anywhoo, this news makes me even more eager for the season to start.

"Linden is Vancouver's all-time leader in games played (1,081) and points (721).
He also holds franchise playoff records for games played (118), goals (34), assists (61) and points (95)."--cbc.com
Linden's longevity may have contributed to his numbers, but as the last playoffs showed, he can still make a positive contribution to the team and on the ice.
