 Well tonight is the big night if you're a hockey fan, especially a Canucks one! It's game one of the Stanley cup final series! This is it!!!!!!! Canucks fever is everywhere!! This is what we have been waiting for. A chance for the Canucks to finally get the cup. It's so close now that the fans can practically see it.
Fans have gone crazy. I didn't realize how much Canucks fever was in the city until this morning. I heard about a radio contest and decided to go enter at a local grocery store. I figured that there wouldn't be many people there as it was very early in the morning. Boy was I wrong!!!
LOL!! It was a complete circus. Cars were lined up all over the place. People were honking horns and chanting "Go Canucks Go". There was Canucks stuff EVERYWHERE!! Jerseys, socks, hats, and so much more. Even the store staff was wearing it. The Canucks mascot was there and it seemed like most of the city too. Wow!! I've never seen so many people showing up to enter for a contest before.
Canucks tickets for the playoffs are a rare jewel. It was one of our top news stories last night. The tickets sold out in minutes and people are selling them for a huge profit. The tickets are really expensive and very rare. It has been amusing to see some of the contests that are making the hardcore fans do some really neat stuff in order to get tickets. One couple had a Canucks themed wedding. Another fan offered to name their child after a Canucks player.
The game starts at 5 pm tonight and people are trying to get out of work early today for the game. I know Anakin is going to hurry home for it. I bought some Canucks cupcakes to celebrate the win (hopefully). ;)
My son is also a hardcore Canucks fan. He is wearing his jersey to school today. :) I also submitted a picture of him on a website with Canucks fans on it. He loves the Canucks and believes all the way that they will win the Stanley cup. It was the first thing he wanted to talk about when he got up this morning. I told him that if I won the contest that I'll make sure he goes to the game. I am praying to the Canucks Gods that I won!! And if not, at least let the boys win tonight!! I really hope they make it all the way. I believe.
Go Canucks Go!!
May the force be with you the Vancouver canucks!

Go Canucks Go!
I think it will be a hard fought series, so maybe Canucks in 6 games? God, I've gotta at least believe that this time they'll do it, after watching them almost win in 1994. They're a better team, and I believe, for all the fans, that we can finally win the series, hopefully starting with game one tonight.

A fairly even game. That finger biting thing won't help though...
Xray
