Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks will retire the jersey of Trevor Linden. Couldn’t happen to a more worthy person!
Specifically, a half marathon comeback. Long-time readers will remember that two years ago, I ran my first ever half marathon (the Vancouver International). And then, five months later, I attempted to run another (the Royal Victoria). But apparently, not training for your half marathon is a bad idea, and so I ended up with an […]
Last week I mentioned that I needed a new hockey stick. So, for last night’s game, I taped up the blade of my old stick’s doppelgänger. As you can see from the photo (pre-taping), the sticks are almost identical. Except that the new one doesn’t have the big chunk missing out of the blade. The […]
The ref in last night’s game1 noticed a slight imperfection in my hockey stick: Yeah, I kind of have a huge chunk missing from my stick blade. I’ve actually been playing with my stick like this for a few weeks now, knowing that I really, really need to replace my stick. And, the thing is, […]
Just noticed this on the scoring leaders list for my hockey league: That’s right, me and my whopping three (3!) points1 are 20th in the league for points. Granted, it’s very early on in the season and there’s not a huge spread at this point (six people tied for third place, five people tied for […]
My recent investigation on hotness levels of NHL players1 has opened my eyes to the fact that there are apparently hot NHL hockey players that *aren’t* on the Vancouver Canucks2. (Who knew?) Through that research, I became especially enamoured with His Hotness, Rick DiPetro of the New York Islanders3. So, I’ve decided that I will […]
Well, sports fans, hockey season is upon us. The Canucks are undefeated, with two glorious victories against the Calgary Evil Flames. Thursday’s game was a 6-0 thrashing, which came after a beautiful tribute to the late Luc Bourdon, who died in motorcycle accident over the summer. Luc’s best friend on the team, Alex Burrows, scored […]
My Hockey Hotties post seems to have taken on a life of its own! The first sign of this was when a whole bunch of people I didn’t recognize left comments on that posting. I mean, I know that there are always a lot of people who read a given blog regularly but don’t comment, […]
In preparation for this afternoon’s hockey pool draft, I decided I should figure out what position all the hotties on my list actually play, given that we need to have one goalie and to pick a certain number of defenseman. And then I thought I should have photos of these boys handy to help me […]
This Saturday I’m going to be participating in a draft for a hockey pool. Since I pay little to no attention to teams that aren’t the Canucks, I’m not overly familiar with non-Canuck players. In fact, unless someone is a mega-star a la Sydney Crosby, I’ve probably not heard of them. Thus, my draft strategy […]
