For the first time in their history, the Canucks swept a best-of-seven series, ending the playoff dreams for the St Louis Blues and advancing themselves to the second round. I’m glad that there is a bit of time between now and the first game of the second round because we have a few injuries (Salo [...]
This is why I bought a huge HD tv … Playoffs. GO CANUCKS GO!!
I’m going to the hockey game tonight, in a private box. It’s Luongo’s first game back. It’s gonna be a damn good night.
Trevor Linden‘s number 16 was retired tonight, joining Stan Smyl‘s number 12 in the rafters. Trevor has always been my favourite Canuck – he embodied everything a hockey player should be, both on and off the ice. He almost single-handedly carried his team to the Stanley Cup finals in ’94, a run that will never [...]
I’ve adopted the Calgary Flames as my team for the playoffs. I always root for the Canadian teams but Jarome Iginla is looking to take over the top spot of favourite NHL player if it’s true that Trevor is going to retire. Therefore, Canadian team + Iginla = my playoff team. They call it the [...]
It’s most likely Trevor Linden’s last game in the NHL tonight. I’m watching at home, alone, but still wearing my jersey, in honour of one of the best loved Canuck of all time. I would never wear anyone else’s number. He’s my boy. And I’ll miss him. Added: CBC gave Trevor the first star tonight. [...]
The end of another 12 hour day. I’m exhausted. However, Friends and Family was insanely busy for the entire 4 hours today, and it’s looking good for us being a busy location! Woo! The store looks amazing and all my people were incredible. I just wandered around and talked to people and did some schmoozing, [...]
So, you know how the Canucks used to be owned or affiliated or whatever with Orca Bay? It was the Orca Bay Vancouver Canucks? The Tampa Bay Lightning have been sold to a company called … OK Hockey. What sort of hockey do you play? Meh, it’s OK. Wow, you guys are great!* No, we’re [...]
My parents bought/rented/stole the box for PPV yesterday. My mother, who has had an on-again-off-again love affair with hockey, is firmly on the on-again side and wants to be able to watch all the games. My father, who has played hockey his whole life and used to have half-season tickets when the Canucks were at [...]
Luongo broke a Canucks record for most shutout minutes, and broke his personal best with this being his third straight shutout. I really like the way we have been playing for the past 10 games. This is the team that I remember from last season. I managed to watch the game tonight by skipping kickboxing [...]
