Well, it happened. We’re going to get to the news behind the scenes soon, but I still can’t believe it. Trevor Linden has officially parted ways with the Vancouver Canucks. When I first saw the news, I was honestly happy. With all due respect to Linden, he was in over his head from the beginning.
Being the President of Hockey Operations in Vancouver is a tough job in this league. The Canucks don’t have a hands-off owner. He has a history of meddling, making a tough job even more difficult. But that does not excuse Linden for the poor job done as a franchise for the last four years.
