Hockey is indeed back !!
A Bunch of us, went in to the open practice for the fans this afternoon. Just walking into GM Place, seeing the ice, once again, reminded me, why hockey is the greatest sport in the world !
We were there for about an hour and a half I would guess. Watching the players scrimmage. It was really nice to see the big line playing together, Naslund, Morrison, and BERTUZZI. There were a few standouts that I noticed, Fedor Federov shows spurts of brilliance, bursts of speed. Ryan Kesler, also seemed pretty quick on his feet. The new additions, Anson Carter, and Richard Parks also seemed to putting forth a little extra effort to show the fans what they could do! It was really cool! :)
At one point during the scrimmage, Ohlund, tripped Bertuzzi, .... from where we were sitting, you could see Todd glaring at him..... and then Naslund tripped himself, so they were all having a good laugh at their own expense. :) It was a pretty relaxed atmosphere !
I would say that there was probably a good 500, maybe more at the rink today. To see the Canucks as they begin their training camp. It was so fun! It got me really pumped to see the start of the season ! It was over too soon. The fans started to trickle out............. we stayed longer than most. I was hoping they'd come back out, but it was not to be. while we were there anyway.
We finally headed towards the exit, headed out down the street in search of something to eat! We were hungry ! We decided on moxie's, so we headed that way! :) we ate a lovely meal, had great service............ it was around 2 o clock by the time we were done. Andrea, kim, Erin, and James decided they needed to head back, and me and sarah wandered on down robson street! :) about twenty minutes later, I got a call from ERIN, they had run into Richard Parks, and she got him to autograph her hat. How cool is that? Why does that always happen to everyone but me? I never run into hockey players like that! so that was a pretty cool ending to the day for them! :)
Sarah and I enjoyed our wandering down the streets..taking in the sights.... watching the people.
It was a good day! we had so much fun !
On our way back to the car, i took this picture, i dont know if you can tell but the picture, and background is pretty hazy cuz of the whole burns bog burning.....
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO START
GO CANUCKS GO !
