‘ LAST TIME AROUND’
This is Trevor Linden’s final season in the NHL, even if he won’t say
so, which makes this week’s fathers- sons road trip a poignant one for
the proud man who raised him

NASHVILLE, Tenn. he lump in his throat is go n e, b ut L a n e L i n d e
n admits it was there the other day, and that tells you something about
this trip. Lane Linden, father of Trevor, is a nononsense kind of man
from a no- nonsense kind of place. You get the sense the only manure he
has ever spread was on the farm in Medicine Hat in southeastern Alberta,
which he and Edna and their boys looked after while also operating the
family trucking business started by Lane’s father, Nick Vanderlinden,
who emigrated from Holland in 1929 because the Canadian Prairies
abounded in opportunity for those willing to work hard.

Hey don't worry about his post playing career. Linden and his bro
Jamie are in the condo development biz and will continue to have a
couple of bucks in their pockets. What I want to see is Trev holding
a Cup over his head. And not the Conference one this time. I think
that is my main reason for happily suggesting the Nucks sell the farm
now. Not logical, but there it is.

Touching story, I hope someone makes sure the family gets a copy.

I was thinking earlier today about this, and I came to the conclusion that
selling the farm is THE logical way to go for _all_ teams at various stages
of their franchise.
Dynasties are now toast. Building for the future does what ? Somewhere
down the road it gets you a shot like Buffalo last year ? How many more
shots would it get you than tripping over a Luongo deal and paying through
the nose for Hossa, Sundin, Jokinen etc ?
If the goal is to be a pretty average / goodish wait till next year team,
sure, keep the mediocrity pipeline rolling. If the goal is to win the cup,
follow the old golf addage, never up, never in.

I'm going for some pepper spray and trying to get to Nashville in
time for the game. V of course decides this would be a great game
to sit out Linden for Cowan. What a complete asshole.
