So, I know the question that you are all asking about the upcoming NHL playoffs. How many of my hockey hotties will be making post-season appearances? Let’s take a look first at those who did not make the cut: Hockey Hotties That Didn’t Make the Playoffs: -His Hotness, Rick DiPietro of the NY Islanders. In […]
Because they want to be just like me, the Vancouver Canucks decided to win their divisional championship this year too! Roberto Luongo, for the record, is a god. In honour of this momentous championship victory, I decided to update my list of Hockey Terms That Sounds Dirty. These are things that radio and television announcers […]
I went for my first post-concussion run today. It was good – I decided to go for a moderately paced 6 km run along the waterfront in Coal Harbour – which was freaking packed with people, what with it being all sunny and warm out and there being an open house at the newly expanded […]
Alternative title for this blog posting: I love my brain. About 7 weeks ago, my hockey team’s goalie was knocked out of the season with a grade 2 concussion. A few months ago my coworker’s father died after having hit his head on the ice during a hockey practice that he was coaching. And just […]
We won our hockey playoffs this weekend! Not only that, but we *swept* the playoffs – winning all four of our games! Not only that, but we faced off against our arch nemesis team in the final and we won! 1-0. On a shorthanded goal. No really. We’d finished third out of four teams during […]

Today was a baby shower1 for my friends Clayton & Jodelene’s baby. This is what I got for him: I <3 baby clothes with Canucks logos on them. So. Cute. 1Or, as I like to call it, baby warming party.
I have a proposal for a new type of assist in hockey. I propose that if you are a winger and you tie up the defenceman (or defencewoman) while screeing the goalie so good that your linemate can just walk right in with puck and pop in the puck in the net, then you should […]
There are only four games left in the hockey season1 and I have ridiculously bad stats. The weird thing is, I haven’t felt like I’ve been playing badly. In fact, I feel like I’ve been playing better than last year. I feel like my skating has improved (I even remember to keep my feet moving […]
Hey, so remember how I won a romantic fondue & snowshoe tour? So that tour was yesterday. And since Tod was out of town, I took my friend and half marathon training buddy, Alicia, in his place. Also, it turned out that the tickets weren’t just for the three hour chocolate fondue + snowshoeing tour […]
