This article will make you a die-hard Trevor Linden fan

A long article on Trevor Linden.. with pictures. It's an emotional read. So be prepared. Here's a quote:

"Linden scored his first hat trick a month into his rookie season. Even so, he smashed his stick in the dressing room after the Canucks found a way to lose 7-6 to Minnesota. “This kid has a burning desire to win,” Pat Quinn told a Minnesota reporter at the time. “I think he finds it hard how some of our veterans can have a ‘Well, we worked hard but lost again’ attitude. He can’t accept that.”

Some other articles:
Tony Gallagher's article on playoff hockey strategy.. I thought that I was the only one somewhat happy that Ohlund had a minor injury to rest up for the playoffs.

Elliott Pap's article on Brendan Morrison. No one ever talks about Mo anymore! I hope that his back is doing ok though.. We need our versatile and effective centerman in the playoffs.

Back to hockey... Morrison is NHL 1st Star

So Colorado put more shots on net than us but Luongo kept us in there. We won it 5-4.. Not a good game but we won. Brendan Morrison scored the game winner making him nhl.com's 1st star of the night!

Tonight marked Trevor Linden's 1300th NHL game. (wow..) Awww.. we love you Trevor
