The Game

Hockey, of course. It's a ubiquitous concern here in Vancouver with the Stanley Cup finals almost over. As I write, the game is going on downtown, just down the road, and the girls are watching it in the living room.

In previous seasons I paid some attention. This season my interest went up when we played Chicago, and won. Then the others, and now Boston, in the Cup.

What impresses me the most, though, is seeing video of tens of thousands of Canucks supporters crowding blocked off streets downtown, and in several nearby cities, to watch on erected screens - and that's even when the games are played in Boston!
