I'm a little torn on the Linden issue. I thought he played well last night against the Hawks. Even in a PK role. I understand that Viggy wants to give some of the young guys some playing time. But at the same time, I haven't been all that impressed with Cowan, and thought that Linden would have been better inserted in the lineup than the Brabarian.
