^ big group of Australians, and all those woman during the intermission were from NZ? Lol weird
I remember we took friends from aus to a game and they brought like 8 other people from aus with them. It ended up being like an incredible OT win that was 4-3 or somthing high scoring
After I was like holy shit what a game for all you guys to be at! And they were like “ehhh yea it was ok” lol

The family on my left was super gung-ho... yelling with Crazy P and talking to us about going to the polar bear swim on new years day... Aussie cop from Sydney and his wife and 4 kids haha, seemed like a really fun family.
The "Friends" video was super cringe amiright?

Let's be honest, no matter how shitty this team is, people are still going to spend money on them. It's all we got.

The game moves so fast with the tiny little puck, I never see or know WTF is going on when I'm at a game. End up getting drunk and shooting the shit instead 
Way easier to follow things watching on TV.

Nevermind, Bedard. There are plenty of players on Team Canada that would fit right in with the Canucks.
Two goals against due to lazy clears and turnovers...........
3 on 3 till someone wins. No shootouts.
Lol, Burrard Inlet temporarily named Bedard Inlet.

Too late now, but if you know anybody with a Shaw, Telus, Bell, or Rogers account, just get their user ID and password.
Actually, I don't watch the game. Flip case, lid closed, listen via bluetooth. Great sound. Easy peasy.......... except in between tall buildings.
Canada's 2023 IIHF Tournament goal song...........

Yah, if you miss Bedard on the draft, this year apparently, the talent is deep.

Our 2022 draft pick, Lekkermaki, has had an absolutely brutal last few months and became a 13th forward at the tournament...
And the guy who scored 2 goals and 1 assist in the final, Dylan Guenther, was drafted by Arizona with our 2021 draft pick we gave them when we got OEL and Garland...
Can't make this shit up how badly run this organization is. I feel ill just thinking about it.

Both guys might have a reversal again once they're in the NHL, you never really know until they are more developed, and playing against NHL players

Only Saskatchewan has fewer wins with 4 but they've been to the final twice as much as we have with 19 appearances to our 10. That said go Lions! So hoping Rourke comes back =/
