(ice) hockey


thru the canada club email list i got a tip about hockey nite in melbourne. it was happening at a pub not to far from our house last nite. i convinced zac to go check it out with me. they were going to be showing 2 of the games from hockey day in canada last weekend. first up was going to be the canucks and the leafs. we got to the pub just slightly early and found the air conditioned theatre room was full. we took a seat in the lounge room with the giant screen on the wall. soon every sofa in that room was filled and people were sitting in any gap on the floor they could find. the game was pretty good (for the canucks at least). something a little bit wrong about watching hockey in summer clothes and sweating thru the whole game cuz there's no a/c in the room. still really good though. the first period the canucks weren't doing so good (other n the goalie keeping a bunch of shots out of the goal). they came back in the next 2 periods and ended up winning 6-1!!! go canucks! apparently they haven't been doing half bad this season.... i haven't really heard much or looked up anything. it's nice to see them kick the leafs arses though.
