somebody threw a mullet onto the ice.

They learned it from Iggy when Linden retired...although Hrudey doesn't remember it happened

Doesn't matter. It still doesn't happen often.

Classy move by the Canucks to come back onto the ice and congratulate Smyth.

I know, just funny that Hrudey goes on about never seing it before when the exact same thing happened a couple years back...and on a CBC game

Classy display by the Canucks...well done.

well everyone knew it was Smyths last game, we will see if something similar happens to Selanne.

I wonder.
itll be abit awkward as it wont actually be his last game.

maybe at home once Anaheim gets eliminated.

either way, selanne deserves that type of recognition too

yeah when Iginla and the Flames did it for Linden the Canucks missed the playoffs that year too...so it was his LAST game aswell

Selanne would have just lost out of the playoffs so he will be shaking hands...or skating around with the cup

one thing torts is right about is those cali teams, if u cant beat em join em.

Anyone else think that Torts' interview just sounded a lot like Gillis' last interview on the team 1040?

Dragon's Den and a few other shows like Republic of Doyle and Murdoch Mysteries are really good

Agree 100% class begets class (ya ya, deep I know but applicable nonetheless)

Classy move by Canucks fans on here for being gracious and respectful. Only 1 troll tonight. We appreciate it. Thanks

if you can't appreciate a quality player/individual, regardless of team, who has given it his all for years and years and always conducted himself with class, you don't deserve to be a fan

Of coarse it will happen, there'll be hand shakes at the end of his last game at home or on the road.

not really, torts at least understands hockey, gillis is just a lawyer

missed interview, cliff notes?

Apperantly this boring ugly hockey we've been watching is some sort of "hybred"

"Fucck Trevor Linden"
- Nucker101

I don't really get the sense that linden disagrees with torts coaching style. Almost sounds like they think that they know that they need more role players on their team and need to be less one dimensional of a team.

@hockeynight: "I don't have any level of concern...I can't answer questions as far as what is going to happen" Tortorella on his future in Vancouver.

Also, took a lot of responsibility for the outcome of the season.

missed interview, cliff notes?
- anavar

are u worried ur gonna be fired?
"no. I don't coach that way. outta my control"

do u think u concentrated too much on defence and grit from your stars?
"I think the people who talk about playing styles, don't really have a clue what theyre talking about. I may have made some mistakes, but there isn't a team in the league that doesn't have to grind and play tough defence over an 82 game schedule. every team plays a hybrid style.
my responsibility that we didn't play that attack, aggressive style like we did in the first 40.
the california trips killed us. those teams gave us a few beatings late and took alot out of us in the second half".

etc etc

pretty good interview actually
