Just a quick explanation.

Rob (different rob then Roberto) always told me that I should start a blog. I've always thought it was a good way to practice my writing, and I'm told by many people (Actually, it's just me) that I'm a somewhat entertaining fellow. My main dilemma was that I never had anything to write about on a constant basis.

Then... it hit me. In the shower. Where I seem to do my best thinking/ideas for writing...

A Hockey blog.

That's right. A hockey blog. Generic I know.

Now don't get me wrong. I've always liked hockey. Playing it in any form, watching it in most forms, and all that nice stuff, but I think I've always enjoyed talking about it more then anything else. I love nearly all sports, and I think I have a general understanding and ability to talk about any of the major sports out there... but nothing's as good as talking about hockey.

As you can see from the title, I'm an unabashed Canucks fan. Roberto + Luongo = The best goalie in the world today. This year has me really pumped more then any other in awhile. I really feel... and here's a biggy:

The Canucks WILL WIN the Stanley cup this year. (2008-2009 so people can't claim I changed the year when it DOES happen) That's it. I've done it. You've read it here first. (I hope somebody's reading this! Please!)

Now, I wonder what format I'll try and do. Most likely I'll just talk about the Canucks after every game. I highly doubt I'll keep that up. 82 games is a lot, and I probably won't say anything about the games I miss or don't watch.(I.e. PPV games and other circumstances.) But anyways, nobody's going to be reading this anyways, so it'll be for my enjoyment anyways.
