Game Seven...What a Series!!!

Game Seven for the cup....
At times I find myself comparing life to a hockey game, or more correctly comparing life to a series such as we are seeing played out now.  Some days I just don't want to get up and keep pushing, I'd rather lay around and watch a little tv, read the paper and then maybe go for a hike.  I don't think it works that way either in life, or in hockey.  It certainly hasn't for the teams from Boston and Vancouver, who somehow manage to keep finding the strength to skate one more time.  Maybe those plus one million dollar salaries help, but still, after being pounded for six hours, I think I might just drift off to the side and try to be invisible.

Tonight is the final meeting of the teams for the 2011 Stanley Cup when Vancouver meets Boston in Rogers Arena in Vancouver.  I'm hoping to see a bit more of what's pictured in the attached photo with the puck somehow managing to slip past the incredible wall of Tim Thomas.  It's hard to wish defeat on him given the completely unbelievable performance he has had in this series, but I do wish the best for the "almost" hometown Canucks.

After this, no more hockey until October.  Grrr.
