Where The Streets Have No Name: 2 girls no Cup?... →
canucksun:
Tell you what.
Go to your team and pull out any two players, any two players making only 6.1 million dollars each, each year and tell them to put up a combined total of 200-point seasons.
Tell them to come from a 9000-citizen town in Sweden and make it to the big league.
Tell them to be…

sedintwins:
I remember reading this article about the Sedins one time and it was talking about how they never bought presents for each other on their birthdays. Then one year they both decided to and when they opened each others presents they both gave each other the exact same t-shirt and they didn’t even plan it.

I miss the anticipation before a Canucks game begins. I may be the only one, but there’s just this feeling I get when I watch Kristin Reid’s pre-game reports and interviews, predicting who scores the game-winner, how many saves Luongo will make, seeing all the jerseys being worn at school and…

First, there was Derek Boogaard. Now, Rick Rypien.
In a matter of three months, two players who made such an imprint on hockey in Regina have left us, all too soon.
Boogaard, whose family resides in the Queen City, died May 13 of a lethal combination of alcohol and a powerful painkiller, oxycodone. He was 28 years old.
On Monday night, the devastating news circulated...

When We #WinDaTurd We #WinItForLuc: R.I.P. Ryp →
I woke up overseas this morning to the terribly sad news that Rick Rypien had passed. I’m sure much will be written over the next few days about the former Canuck, and written by those who are much more eloquent than myself, but I still felt compelled to pass on my memories of an incredibly…

When We #WinDaTurd We #WinItForLuc: Bruce Arthur:... →
I had this friend once: she was beautiful, whip-smart, creative, tortured. One night the tortured part won out, and alone in the dark, she swallowed a pile of pills. Before it was too late, though, she made a call, and the person at the other end was home, and got to the phone just before the…

Fuck this. Fuck this.
God, you took away another man I loved when I was scared I was incapable of love. You took away someone I loved in a way I don’t know if I’ve ever loved a boyfriend. You took away the man who shared my birthday, who exemplified everything I love about hockey, who I pulled for more than anyone else but Burr, you took away my favourite scrappy little motherfucker...

one of my favorite memories as a canucks fan
jovo acting like a complete child after matt cooke’s game 7 goal
Seriously, can we just combine the rosters for that team and this one? You can put the Sedins on the second line and Kesler on the third. They won’t mind.

And one of my students asked, “Why is Henrik Sedin a good leader?”
Hold the phone. How do I explain this to a seven year old without freaking them out because my voice gets louder and pitchier when I go on impassioned monologues?
WHERE DO I EVEN START?!
And then I thought about…
