Ok, it’s not an official holiday, but it damn near should be. And to me, this Tim Hortons commercial is what Hockey Day in Canada is all about.
Off we go to GM to watch the Canucks beat the Leafs on the big screen. Should be a good time. Hope your hockey day has been good for you.
Update: The game was pretty cool, and that’s more than just the 6-1 win over the Leafs(who, I might add, suck). It was close to a real game experience. They blew the horn when the Canucks scored, gave away some free stuff at random points, and a fair number of Leafs fans for us to heckle were actually brave enough to hang out for the game.
True highlight? The first intermission of the UBC game that followed the CBC broadcast was a mini-game of some pee wee hockey kids. Check out the video I posted onto YouTube here. We actually left after that. Regina was up by three goals at the end of the first. Good action, but we were a little beat and ready to head home.
I have pictures from the event on Flickr. Pending review for quality control, look for some audio that Rebecca and I recorded at GM Place on The Crazy Canucks in the next few days.
Nice…too bad the only Asian’s that care about hockey are in…Vancouver!!
I’m jealous of your day.
Well, that wasn’t the result I was looking for! Canucks dominated! Did you have fun?!
Zanstorm, be sure to ask Rebecca for confirmation, but I was calling for a 5-1 win as we were walking to GM Place, all because of your blog post that called for a 5-4 Leafs win. There might even be audio of that as well, I don’t recall now.
GZ, a good time for sure yesterday, but I think you’ll have some hockey goodness heading your way soon thanks to Alanah. 🙂
I can’t thank you enough. Hockey brings the world closer together (sappy…sorry). I’m looking forward to seeing the features…even if there was 20 minutes missing (d’oh!).
I think you did say 5-1! Yeesh!
In my prediction I meant 5-4 Canucks, not Leafs! doh! 🙂
