GAME 3

Get ready for game three!!! I am very quickly running out of pre-game hotties, so instead I am now looking for the best hockey hair. Whitney suggested this guy....



This is why moustaches should never come back into style!
Stay tuned for an update!!

UPDATE- quacked again 3-2.

GAME 2.

Canucks won 2-1 in the second overtime with a weird goal by Cowan.

GAME 1.

Even though Squire Barnes is predicting that the Canucks will lose to the Ducks, I am predicting the Canucks will win.



So we need a new round of pre-game hotties for round two! There will be some recycling of hotties as the series goes on, but I promise new pics each game.


For game one, the pre-game hottie is:


Lou!



Roberto may or may not be related to these guys

Andy Garcia....


and.... Count Dracula

GAME 7

I'm a little worried about this game 7 business.






Our pre-game hotties this game are Brendan Morrison.








and Markus Naslund








Let's hope this isn't my last Canuck's playoff post.






While searching the net for hottie pics I've found some really strange stuff. I found this pic of a guy hopping over the glass onto the ice. Look at the faces of the people in the background. Too funny. I'm not sure what happened after this picture was taken. Whatever it was, he ended up with a neckbrace on a stretcher. (don't worry this pic is safe for work)












Stay tuned for an update.
UPDATE- Canucks are going to round TWO!!!!!
The goal score-ers:
The first goal was by Henrik


Trevor was next:





And then cutie Pyatt sealed it with an open next goal


And then like a minute later Trevor was super classy and passed the puck to Smolinski for the open net goal.

GAME 6

Pre game hottie....
We need a double-shot for extra luck





Big-Lips-Mitch work'n up a sweat.


And the man, the legend.....LOOOOOUUUUUUU.



Stay tuned for a post game update. I predict a riot.
UPDATE- 2-0 Dallas.

EARTH DAY

The following post is not hockey related...

This sunday is Earth Day!
Now would be the perfect time to change to a greener lifestyle! Well how'm I gonna do that you ask? Well lucky for you I've made a list!

1. Plastic. It's super bad. It never breaks down in landfills, and it is actually bad for your health. Without going into a big explanation, the use of plastics in household materials and food containers has been linked to girls getting their first period earlier than they used to (16 years about 100 years ago to 11 or 12 now). Pregnant moms should worry (or those who want to be moms) because plastics leach Estrogens into the food that we eat. This actually changes the organization of the baby's brain and it affects them for the rest of their life. It can also change the baby's reproductive organs making them sterile with a combo of boy and girl parts. All bad news. If you are wondering where I got this info from, I did a termpaper on this, and it is all from reputable medical journals. It is now becoming the consensus that plastic is not foodsafe and could be really detrimental to the health of little ones. My Earth Day contribution is to cut my use of plastics by a lot. I'm going on a plastic-detox. My plan includes: using canvas bags for grocery shopping, recycling more (most stuff I recycle), and trying to figure out a plastic-free way to pack a lunch. It's going to be a tough thing to change.

On with the list, easier changes:
2. your car. get rid of a gas guzzler in favour of a hybrid or more energy efficient car. Drive less, take public transit, and walk more. If you can walk, do! This is also an excellent way to lose weight and save money!!

3. change your light bulbs to the more energy efficient type. They last 5 years, before they burn out. So you will also be saving time not having to change light bulbs, as well as saving money on the cost of replacement bulbs and electricity!

4. Use cold water. Wash your clothes in cold water, and hang to dry when possible.

5. If you have electric heat registers shut them off at the fuse box in the spring. Did you know that they eat up energy all summer long?

6. Look into weather stripping windows and doors, I hear that this can really make a difference in the amount of energy spent in the winter on heating.

7. Buy locally grow foods. In the summer, this is just about the easiest change to make. The food grown way far away has to transported to where you are. But, if you buy locally grown produce, not only is it fresher with more nutrients, but it also requires less energy to get it to you.

8. Recycle. If don't do this already, you should! I have guilt tripped more than one person into recycling. I give out Recycler of the Year certificates to those I see making an extra effort. :)

9. If you live in an appartment and think that you can't compost, think again. You can Vermicompost! Dirt, newspaper (shredded), worms and a little water and veg scraps all in a rubbermaid tote with some air vents. Mix and wait. The micro-organisms eat the veg, the worms eat the micro-organisms and make dirt. Excellent way to teach kids about recycling, ecosystems, and why we always save worms who are drowning on the sidewalk when it rains. And it doesn't smell because you bury the veg.

10. I can't really think of a #10....

GAME 5

Uh yeah, Sorry for the delay I was busy failing an endocrinology exam... someone called in a bomb threat half way through too. I'm ok, turns out there was no bomb, and no it wasn't me who made the call. Anyways on to the important stuff like, the game 5 pre-game hottie pic!



One of my personal favorites. Kevin Bieksa. His stupid penalties are a bit of a problem though. But I'd still date him. I think the black and white pic adds a bit of class.

Stay tuned for a post game update. Who is the annonymous Canuck who is a faithful commenter?

UPDATE- crap. 1-0 Dallas in OT. Damn, and I was all ready to start a riot.

GAME 4

I thought I would go vintage for this posting. You know that in '94 you were all about him. Those big lips, the blue eyes and my god ... the dimples. Oh Pavel, where are you now? He probably has a comb over, but for a while he was the hottest Russian in town.

I love how my postings about the playoffs have digressed into a heated discussion about who is the hottest Canuck. For all you non-hockey fans, at least my blog is now a source of eye candy. I promise a non-hockey related post soon.

Game 4 update to follow...

UPDATE- The canucks won again 2-1. They are now leading the series 3 to 1.

Trevor had a very good game, so here's a picture of him. Hmmm, I wonder if anyone has named their son after him? Stay tuned for more hot canucks...

GAME 3

Game faces on, stay tuned for an update

Whitney didn't think that Taylor Pyatt was very good looking, so I have added a new pic for this game. No-neck-Brent Sopel. mmmm...mullet

Update- Canucks won 2-1. Thanks to a winning goal in 1st OT by Taylor!

GAME 2

2-0 Dallas. BOOO. I listened on the radio at work. It didn't sound like a very good game. All you Canuck fans out there- who's this cutie? Hint, he's on the team, and he isn't a twin. Also if you are looking to pick up some Canucks gear, my local Shoppers has a HUGE amount of Canucks stuff.

Also there is a new feature on my blog. A map that shows where people are that check out my blog. No surprises yet, Vancouver and Hong Kong.

GAME 1

A WIN 5-4. But for the love of Christmas Pete do you think we could do that in less that 7 periods? I can't commit to watching 5 and a half hours of hockey a night durring final exams. Thanks a bunch.

Well that's a relief

You Are 60% Normal

Otherwise known as the normal amount of normal You're like most people most of the time But you've got those quirks that make you endearing You're unique, yes... but not frighteningly so!

How Normal Are You?

Also a very good sign:

You Could Definitely Be a Vegetarian

You would make a great vegetarian - if you aren't one already. You're adventurous enough to try all sorts of new veggie foods... And your commitment to animal welfare will motivate you to stay meat free!

Could You Be a Vegetarian?

This is total crap! I'm way more Irish than that.

You're 40% Irish

You're probably less Irish than you think you are... But you're still more Irish than most.

How Irish Are You?

I also have good manners 78% of the time (sure) and my celebrity boob twin is a mix between Lucy Lawless and Chalize Theron. Obviously I was hoping for Scarlett Johannson or maybe Angelina. Damn. Thanks to Catherine for the time waster link on her blog.

Mark Your Calendar!

April 18th is the start of the annual Army and Navy shoe sale. Nothing better than cheap shoes. You can look at the online flyer here: http://www.armyandnavy.ca/

Lesson learned from last year, don't bring a purse, it just gets in your way. Wear slip on shoes, and be prepared for lots of pushing and shoving!!

Little kid birthdays

It's springtime, so that means lots of birthdays. First was Kaitlyn's pirate themed 8th birthday party, complete with a treasure chest cake.

And a tresure chest pinata


Then it was Kassie's 5th birthday

Then Trey's 7th birthday at Cultus Lake, and the Canucks won their game too!

mmmm, ice cream cake!

Easter Bunny

After this Bobby always started eatting at the ears, not the tail.

It sounds like an April fools day joke, but it's not. It is snowing. I think this is the latest I've seen snow. Umm it's April, right?

UPDATE- it's now 11:25am on the 2nd and it is snowing again! I also lied when I said it was the latest I've seen snow. After reading Cathy's post, I remembered that it snowed on Sarah's birthday May 10th in Kaslo in 1985 or 1986. But this is Vancouver, whole different thing.
