First of all, congratulations to the Canadian National Women's Team, who won their eighth straight gold medal at the World Championships yesterday, over the USA (what else is new, haha). Canada came out and played just great from the start, USA put up a fight but they looked tired and worn out, and they did have some injury trouble. Canada had lost a round robin game to the US earlier in the week. Hayley Wickenheiser scored first and Delaney Collins (Pandas, grr) scored our other goal for the 2-0 win (even though it should have been 2-1 because USA scored and they disallowed because the goal judge was blind, oh well). Kim St-Pierre got the shutout for Canada. Awesome job girls, Canada rocks!
And...you know what tonight is...playoff time! The Canucks open their first round series with Calgary tonight at 7:30. The 1st game on CBC is Montreal-Boston...go Habs! I'm super pumped about the Canucks, we've got our car flag up, we're all set! Such a great time of the year....And hey, good sign: Maggie the monkey from TSN picked the Canucks to beat the Flames, haha. That monkey is smart. It doesn't matter that some "experts" are picking Calgary, chances are they're people who've never seen the Canucks play anyway. Oh, and I'm working on a new layout for the playoffs...can't wait till gametime!...Go Canucks Go!
