Returning from an ill-fated Mexican vacation in time to see the Canucks' meaningless season finale versus playoff bound Calgary Flames, Dave rambles on about a horrential bout of gut sickness and hanging at a beach bar in Bucerias while the Canucks imploded.
Wheelchaired and sedated, he arrived home to find the Nucks missing the playoffs, sending off Trevor Linden without a final win and shifting the team in
unknown directions with impending free agents, unclear strategy, and unproven prospects. Finally, Dave (comfy back in North Van) considers how the now-officially-official ownership might move forward before summoning Canucks heores of the future to step forth.

can we take a moment for Trevor Linden?
Wonderful man.
Why would anyone believe for one minute that in a case where the on-ice referees have to go to a video replay and talk to folk back in Toronto, that Vancouver would ever get the decision?
On a summer Saturday, Dave heads to the BC Floorball's Challenge Tournament o learn whassup with fast-paced indoor hockey sport and watch the Swiss Selects soundly defeat the Canadian Waveriders in an exhibition besides the 5-nation cup tournament.

Vancouver blogger Darren Barefoot was in Dublin pontifying to the people when he came across some hockey coverage of the World Championships, Div. 3 tournament. These are the (no offense to these stalwart players) bottom feeders of the hockey world and each year, two teams bump up a class and two from Div 2 bump to Div 1 where the thoroughbreads play.
