    If he makes the HHOF, it won't be on stats: it will be on heart and soul hockey. Great character in the game, he is the archetypical class player.

    Check out Jen's Linden article/biography (linked up top)... it gives a great breakdown of Linden's career!

    When the Flames and Canucks played that last game and the Flames and fans showed just what imapct he made, it was amazing. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/16427-A-Touch-of-Class-Linden-Bows-Out-Iginla-Finds-50-Rivals-Show-Sportsmanship-060408
