The Canucks beloved Luongo today announced that he had ceded his “C” to focus on the game and the season before him.
This is great news for those of us who want to see our Canuck captain engaged, vocal and an integral part of game play, while not shouldering the weight of tending goal. I loved having Lu as our captain, but am happy to have him refocus his priorities.

Welcome back hockey fans!
We are t-minus a few weeks away from regular season and hockey fever is upon us Canadian girls and boys; I can tell because #Gillis was a trending topic on Twitter yesterdy…besides all the pre-season rumours, captain speculation, arbitration conversation, us hockey girls are really wondering, what did the hockey players get up to this summer?

Best sign ever.
Why you should love Ryan Kesler:
Future women's hockey gold medalist
While I cannot confirm that our lovely Vancouver Green Men were the first ones to don the lycra body suits (though I suspect they were), their penalty box antics bring a certain level of awesome to the games at GM Place.

I’m a sucker for boys in beards, so it’s no surprise that I consider hockey playoffs awesome; not just because it’s amazing hockey, but because all my favourite boys are growing beards and looking handsome.
Some noteables from last year…

In Canada, hockey comes first.
General boarding call for all passengers on flight AC323
Case in point:
Canada’s largest airline has learned it sometimes has to take a back seat to the country’s biggest sporting passion, ice hockey, the head of Air Canada said on Tuesday.
The airline was forced to delay a flight from Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games because passengers watching the end of gold medal final on airport televisions ignored repeated calls to board.
“We incurred a flight delay for a reason Air Canada had not yet encountered in over 72 years of existence,” chief executive Calin Rovinescu told a business gathering.
The Canadian fans were rewarded for their delay, as the nail-biting end to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics saw Canada beat arch-rival United States 3-2 in overtime.

Oh wait. Just about EVERYWHERE.
Might be hard to cheer Kesler and Team Canada simultaneously on the 21st…but I’ll find the strength.
I’ll be at Molson Hockey House on February 18th cheering for team Canada & sending photos to HockeyJackass of the drunken debauchery. And every other night, I’ll be around town watching all the other games!
See you there?
Give that man a bottle of champagne and a booty to pour it on.
Watch and feast your eyes as the Canucks number two netminder makes the rounds during saturday’s drubbing of the Leafs.
I love seeing pure emotion like this.
Careful.
All these passes might make you dizzy.

For those of you who didn’t catch it, here is Auger allegedly letting Burrows know that he was going to retaliate against a call in a previous game:
Kinda seems like an abusive relationship doesn’t it? Where you have a group of striped men who are supposed to continuously be unbiased and objective, and who are there to protect the integrity of the game and the players. But when threats are made (according to Burrows, and I believe him after seeing him in the dressing room, dude was FIRED UP) then it seems the league needs to investigate and not assume that the refs are as unbiased and objective as they appear….
After my second penalty, I skated by him and he said, ‘If you say a word I am going to kick you out,’ so I didn’t say a word because I still thought we could come back and win the game,

As per point one from my earlier post:

Happy holidays ladies and fellow Jackasses!
Hope you are enjoying this time with family, friends & your favourite hockey club. I am back home for the holidays in cold, crisp Ontario, staying up extra late to catch my Canucks play those late games on the West Coast.
In case you wanted to know, I grew up here in Ontario, playing the worst kind of hockey – ringette. That sport that wants so much to be like hockey, and is practically there, but what the fuck – rubber rings?
I stopped playing after my first year, but I can still bomb on hockey skates, booya.
Yup, that's me, heckling the visitor's bench.
Growing up in Ontario everyone thinks you have to be a Leaf fan, and I had a few boyfriends that tried to assimilate me to their side, and I admit, I loved Wendel Clark as much as the next, but I knew the Leafs weren’t my club.
Love them or hate them, the Sedins are in Vancouver to stay – for 5 years anyways. Put me in the love camp; I think these twins are worth every one of their $30.5 million dollars and if I had my druthers, I would have signed them for 12 years and the alleged $60+ million they were asking.
