Just cus we're Fans.

Couldn't resist a double post for the day. I have no clue where my blue, white, green jersey went but I had trouble finding it. Sporting a hockey jersey with chips, drinks and perhaps not the most hockey friendly way of watching NHL, a computer - I sat diligently paying close attention to every movement of the game.

While others argue that it's hard to see the puck, or that the scoring is low - maybe even that they think hockey is just a scramble for a small ball flattened… It's HOCKEY. and it's HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. One of those events were nation wide people tune in on the radio, sit at the sports bar or in the comfort of their own home to watch the big game.

Tonight's game featuring Canucks & Blackhawks was the craze. Canucks lost their 3-0 series lead, and it was looking grim for them. Being back from the road at least they were on home turf tonight. The crowds are raging as the national anthems play.

Period 1 - Kesler & Burrows change the face of the game - a goal lead.
Period 3 - Penalty Duncan Keith for Tripping - Burrows rips the penalty shot
              - Short Handed Goal by Toews
OT - Alex Burrows with the glove catch and into the net.

Kudos to Crawford - Amazing saves, and perhaps the reason why they did tie the score in the 3rd.

Simply amazing, history was made during the series with the penalty shots and the final OT in game 7. No luck finding my jersey, at least I know that it's here somewhere or back home tucked away in a box. Either way jersey or not, 2nd round is to come.
Large embrace of the Van. Canucks
Exciting games tomorrow as well as the Canadiens face off with the Bruins for game 7. If you're not up to date or simply not a fan, Lucic faces a suspension from the boarding call on Spacek  Well, its time to start some studying again. Can't wait for 2nd round for 'nucks.
