Blues 1, Canucks 2

Whew. Way too many penalties -- but at least the Vancouver Canucks survived and took game one of their series against the St. Louis Blues, in the Western Conference quarter-finals.

I hope now that the first game is under their belt the Canucks will be more disciplined for the rest of the games.

I watched the game on CBC and I was struck by the many commercials that made use of hockey and the NHL. It's good to be back in Canada. :o)

I think the funniest commercial tonight was one for a beer (?) company -- in it announcers worked a table hockey game and when the puck was stuck in the neutral zone, unreachable for any two-dimensional player, they described it as the "neutral zone trap". :o)

Anywhoo, on to game two!

Oh yeah, what's up with Sundin? Is he still out of shape or has Sundin always been that slow?

Sundin isn't a young'un any more :0)

Anyway, I don't remember seeing that commercial over here on the west coast. They did play a lot of the Bud Light Cheesy Graphics commercial, though.
