Final Farewell?

Trev’s birthday isn’t till Friday, but since tonight could very well be his last game as a Canuck, I felt an early tribute was fitting.

It’s been 20 long years, how time has flown by
This city will stand by you, no matter what you decide.
38 years young Friday, it’s hard to believe
This once was the same fresh faced kid so quickly to lead.

’94 Stanley Cup run; the Canucks were so close!
It wasn’t to be - only of a great season we’d boast.
A few seasons state-side, two years in Montreal
We never once doubted you’d return to us all.

What will we do now? It won’t be the same
“Mr. Canuck” is how we’ve endeared you by name.

It’s been quite the career, many would say.
Sadly we knew soon would come this day
A decision to make, it seems so unreal.

Please never forget the way Vancouver feels -
About everything you’ve done.

If this is the year we must see you go
Know you’ll forever be missed. Guess we’ll see you in Kitsilano.
