Canucks, here we come! And, here is to Luongo!

Yeah, Luongo!

A good goal tender really boosts the morale and confidence of a hockey team! The Vancouver Canucks are so fortunate to have not only a wonderful team, but such an awesome goal tender, Roberto Luongo!

Luongo, has always DREAMED of playing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Now his vision is finally taking place! He is an EXTRA ordinary goalie; and he is well deserving of this wonderful honour. As a bit aside, our team also has a wonderful coach and an excellent GM!

Arthur, my son, suggested Alan and I join an internet Stanley Cup Playoff Hockey Pool; we have just finished finalizing our teams of players together; so it will certainly be a fun and interesting venture. Hmmmmmmm. We have picked Luongo as our goalie.

We are "stuck to our screen" (our T.V. is 55 inches; good size screen; fits our tid of a den, nicely!) for the playoffs. LOL! Family and friends have an open invitation to come over and watch the games; just bring beer! Wine, for the gals. LOL! And, maybe some snacks!

The Canucks play the Dallas Stars tonight; so, we will be literally on the edge of our seats. Both teams are very similar in play and style; so, we think, it will be an exceedingly close "nail biting" game.

Tidbit - Appreciate other hockey teams for their strengths!(as well as their weaknesses). And, may the best team win!

It will also be interesting to observe the CHARACTER BUILDING and constant GROWTH of all the teams participating in the playoffs. ie sportsmanship, gamesmanship, leadership, stepping up to the "puck / goal". team work, etc.

Another tidbit - I LOVE Luongo's positive attitude! So what, that he has never played in a Stanley Cup Playoff before; he is "ready"; and we believe his strong convictions will carry him through the playoffs.

We are relieved it is the end of the day; has been a very impactful day again. I guess that is what happens, when you leave the country for 11 days! Playing "catch up!"

Will blog about Zihuatanejo - Part 3; in a short bit of a tid. As they say, mon yana!

And now, I better go and get ready to cheer on our beloved Canucks!
