the canucks

i have not watched hockey since living at home.  the game was on the television all of the time during the hockey season (the boys ruled what was watched in the house).  i remember watching the toronto maple leafs with my dad.  i remember having a crush on darryl sittler. i remember the nail-biting playoffs (at a time when toronto was great).

i am remembering all this because the vancouver canucks are in the playoffs.  it seems everyone is talking about it, excited by it, and wearing the jersey.  what i love about it is the happy energy everywhere in the city.  it is really nice.

the oldest of my two brothers was a huge fan and i thought it would be fun to have kai make him a card about the fact that the canucks were in the playoffs and the maple leafs were not.  as the little sister, i think i am entitled to poke some fun - i did have to endure hockey season after hockey season after all!
