My dad is a big time Leafs fan. Big time. Despite growing up in Montreal, where it would have made a lot of sense to be a Habs fan (you know, given that the Habs win once in a while), he’s always been a fan of the Leafs. He moved to the Toronto area in […]
Listening to last night’s 4-2 Canuck victory over the Habs, I found myself wondering how my hockey hotties have been doing this season. This may be because Gorges seemed to have the puck *a lot*. But also because Carey Price got to play a bit. At any rate, I thought I’d update y’all on how […]
So today was the big day – my chance to skate at GM Place *and* have my picture taken with Taylor Pyatt! (You know you are jealous!) This is me, heading down the steps to go skate at GM Place: This is me skating: I have to say the ice is pretty damn nice. (Comparable, […]
1. The email I got telling us Skate for a Cure VIP fundraisers that we get to have our pictures taken with His Hotness Taylor Pyatt, it stated: “You will receive a pre-signed photo frame with your picture with Taylor. Please note that Taylor will not sign other items (jersey’s, shirts, etc.)” Aside from the […]
So, remember how I came around, figurative hat in hand, shaking people down for moolah for the Michael Cuccione Laboratory for Childhood Cancer Research as part of the Skate For A Cure fundraiser. And that those who raised enough cash get to skate at GM Place and have their picture taken with a Canuck? Well, […]
Item the First: this, my friends, is a toddler hockey brawl: more about “LiveLeak.com – Toddler hockey brawl“, posted with vodpod It’s so very wrong, yet so adorable. I would so love to see a couple of NHLers have a slap fight like that. Item the Second: Apparently there’s a new play on tour called […]
While goofing around with setting up the WordPress Stats plugin for my new blog yesterday, I happened to look at the stats for my old site. And noticed that I had a ridiculously high number of hits yesterday. Like, ridiculous. Like 645 hits (compared to my usual 150 or so) ridiculous. It didn’t take too […]
The UBC Rec hockey league, women’s division, is back up and running this semester. We tried to get it going last semester, but only two women’s teams registered and the other team didn’t want to play the same opponent (i.e., us) every single game. This semester, the league has managed to pull together a third […]
Only two days into my 1001 days and already I get to cross something off my list! 43. take Tod to a Vancouver Canucks game Last night I took Tod to his first ever Vancouver Canucks game. Shocking, I know. He has lived1 his whole life in BC, most of it in and around Vancouver, […]
Only 27,852 days after he last played a game, Mats Sundin has signed with the Canucks. Just like me, he decided to move from the freezing cold that is the GTA to the warm loveliness that is Vancouver1 My dad is a life long Leafs fan2, so he’s been quite interested in where old Mats […]
