Drop the puck. We want the cup.

Canucks game was good today. Not that I saw all of it, but we won and therefore I feel good saying it went well :) Haha After work about 7 of my friends and I met at Lisa's place to watch the game. 

Here's something I saw on my walk to Lisa's from the skytrain station:

I made it there about halfway through the 1st period. Not much happened. Lots of fighting though, especially right after the 1st period ended (disappointed in that but hey, there's a lot at stake here - emotions are running high). Not much happened in the game. I had to leave halfway through the second period. You really only had to catch the last minute, or literally the last 30 seconds to see the one and only goal of the entire game. Luckily, it was for the canucks, scored with 19 seconds left in the third period. I was on my way to the gym (I skipped out early to go to gymnastics - I was wearing my canucks shirt though!) and I was madly texting my friends to see how the game was going. 1-0 for the Canucks in game 1 of the stanley cup finals. I heard on the radio today that 83% of the time in games past, the team that won game #1 in the finals has gone on to win the cup. I'm not predicting anything here, but it's a fact. Vancouver's hoping for good things!!

Coming home from the gym I take the skytrain back to Vancouver, and there had been a fight at Granville station. Lots of police and paramedics. I saw one guy bleeding from what looked like his eye. It was pretty bad. Mostly likely people had too much to drink, and got over excited about the hockey finals. Outside there were people singing and blowing horns. 

Here's there's people yelling We want the cup and Go Canucks Go! The game ended around 8pm Pacific Time, and this video was taken around 10:45pm. People were still excited. 

Game #2 is on Saturday - I will be in Kelowna and mostly likely won't be able to watch it. I'm bummed about that, which is why I'm not missing Monday's game :) Let's go Vancouver - "We are all Canucks"

Oh that reminds me, on my way to gym, the skytrain passed the Rogers Arena (where the Canucks played tonight) and the entire exterior of the arena is all decked out in signs, and banners and lamppost flags, of course supporting the canucks. It gave me chills. Definitely some serious canucks spirit in Vancouver!!
