Well, well, well...

Now that Google has assimilated blogger, e-mailing to my blog is much more responsive than it used to be!

One of the biggest things I enjoy but know they're not that important is sports.
And being Canadian, one of the biggest sports things that amuse me is hockey.
And being from Vancouver, that means Canucks and Giants, ultimately.

Not to mention World-Under-20 gold for Canada... w00t! w00t We are the champions, my friend.... blah blah blah! The thing that struck me on the portions of televised games that I saw was how full the stands were when Canada was playing, and how empty they were otherwise.

But I think the Giants are happy to have Franson and McKardell back from their "cap"-matches (to mix sporting custom metaphors and all that) -- beating the Red Deer Rebels last night at the Rink on Renfrew.

While in the other rink (the "Garage")... I pegged the Canucks to be basement-dwellers this season after their extensive mix-and-match retooling over the summer. And two post-game-nights in a row now, they've been able to go to sleep knowing that tomorrow at least, nobody can take over the lead in the Northwest Divison -- easily the tightest division in the whole NHL -- over Christmas there were five points separating the top and bottom team.

But now, with 7 wins in a row (and two of those very diSTINKt ones) maybe I was wrong. Luongo keeps letting in the odd soft goal, but it'll be fun to watch (while folding laundry) these guys go through to the end of the season.

Still, it can't really compare to important things like drinking water...
