Welcome to True Vancouver Daylight Savings Time

I only heard about it on the radio, waiting for the SeaBus to come in, but a part of me doesn't want to see The Goal. The part that doesn't to want to believe that any professional hockey goalie, much less Roberto "MVP" Luongo, can make a mental mistake like that, tired or not. The part of me that doesn't want to believe the season's over. The local junior team, the Vancouver Giants, are in the playoffs too, but I don't know the name of any of the players. (Granted, a Giants game is decent hockey at a decent price, and would watch at the old Pacific Colosseum game again sometime.) Nevermind a war without end: in Canada, with the World Championships, Memorial Cup, and talk about the Olympics going to heat up in a couple of years, we're a country engaging in hockey with no end. Says the guy who just started playing floorball.
Now we fans are cured of our 3-hour long fits of belief suspension, and can finally get to the serious business of berating the weather for teasing us (or, like this morning, tricking us). Game 7 might have happened during a book reading I want to attend, and local grumps can finally thank their goodnesses. Welcome to True Vancouver Daylight Savings Time.
