Okay, so the Canucks are out of the playoffs. Or more accurately they didn't even make the playoffs. This situation will be analyzed, discussed, argued, and debated, (someone will probably even write a song about it) for months and months on talk shows all around the province. And *sigh* at my dinner table, my parents Sunday dinner table and any time anywhere there is a lag in the conversation.These are my thoughts on the subject:
They are startling simplistic but true....
1. I would have liked to have seen them go further. It would have been exciting.
2. I would have liked Trevor Linden to have won a Stanley Cup.
3. I would have liked them to go further for my cousin Loret....her excitement regarding them is infectious if not just a tad scary.
4. It would have been good for many a local business.
5. I like it when local people start wearing Canucks jerseys to work and flying Canucks flags on their cars. I probably get more enjoyment out of that then actually watching a game.
---was there anyone who was not touched by the standing ovation that Trevor Linden received? anyone???? All my sons have always been so impressed with this player.....a good role model.
Other random thoughts regarding the NHL playoffs:
I hope a Canadian team is in the final. I hope a Canadian team wins the final.
I loathe the Edmonton Oilers logo......a drip of oil?????? A oil drip????
I love the word zamboni. It is fun to say. Zamboni.
A team with a European or Russian captain has never won the Stanley Cup. Or not for a long long time. Or something like that.
Will Janet Gretzky place a bet on the final game?
With the season being over for the Canucks we can all relax a bit and turn our attention to something else. Like the new episodes of The Office. And hey, this just may be the perfect time for you to try making a Caesar salad.

Well, as sad as it is that the Canucks didn't make the playoffs and Trevor never got to hoist the elusive "cup" I am still a dedicated, if not frustrated fan! After seeking some professional help and much needed "meds" to lift me out of my deep depression after witnessing the last game of their season, I am slowing recovering. Will I ever see the "cup" being hoisted by my boys in my lifetime?????
On to much more important topics.... what about the sunhat, tomatoes, etc????
Love you bunches and bunches
Loret
Keep the faith...or delusion...whatever works, but yes I do think you will see your boys lift the Stanley Cup in your lifetime. I really do. But then I also think that one day I will have all my photos in an album and all my recipe clippings filed so what can I say.........
Glad that you got some 'help' for your depression...I find alcohol works wonders as well. Especially good for you as you don't even need to consider driving. Plus it encourages the accompaniment of snack foods....even better!
The sunhat, tomatoes, etc is but now a distant faded memory---but so glad you were paying attention to detail. If I was an English teacher or a blog inspector I would give you 100% and no homework for the weekend. But I might ask you to write a 500 word story incorporating those terms: sunhat, tomatoes, Kama Sutra. It could be fun. See what you come up with. Especially if you try my self-help suggestion of alcohol first.
Love you bunches and bunches too!
I cried when Trevor got the standing ovation. He rocks. He should have married me!
Nah, your Mom (as sweet as she is) would never go home.
