April 25, 2011-Play Off Jitters...

     Today was spent mostly agonizing over whether or not the Vancouver Canucks would have to play a 7th game against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup series of hockey playoffs.  It was an awesome game, but alas, not the end yet.  After going into overtime with a tie, they were pushed to one more game to take place on Wednesday afternoon, our time.  I wish we could be there to watch them in person! I fell in love with the team and their home town on our visit there in February, but I am now officially hooked for life as I have become a long distance fan.  There or not, I am rooting for them.  I have never really been much into watching sports on TV.  It's just not the same as being there, but these guys are so amazing, and the game itself is so fast paced and exciting, that I just can't help but become addicted to hockey and the Canucks. Other than watching the game, it was a lazy day, jet lag taking over on my part.  I felt I was never quite caught up all weekend, and it's time to head back to my island and to work first thing tomorrow.  In the meantime, all I have to say is "Go, Canucks, Go!"
