Everyone there (mostly guys) was out to have a great time. They provided free crap to wave around (like those foam fingers) and got everyone totally riled up and cheering the entire time. I walked out of there with a Molson Canadian logo "tattooed" on my face and sproingy Canadian leafs sprouting out of my head.
The game was great too, it's NHL so you can't get any better. The stadium was totally packed and the crowd was super loud and excited.....
We went to a Victoria Salmon Kings game on the weekend. (sigh)
Yes, I know, I know. They aren't in the same league as the Canucks and Victoria is smaller. But I don't know - it was sad. The stadium wasn't even half full, the game was really slow and there were so many announcements during the game that I got lost in all the sponsorship. It also probably didn't help that this woman was sitting right behind me.
She screamed the entire time. She yelled at the players, she yelled at other people in the audience and she screamed at the mascot. It was ridiculous.Unfortunately the whole experience left me with more-than-my-usual longing for Vancouver and everything it has to offer.

Aw, that's too bad. (But your drawing is hilarious-- I can only imagine.)
We need to find you a 'small city' event that wouldn't even happen in a bigger city but that gets Victorians all excited.. (something like the ever popular TRUCK PARADE, which I love to bits but missed this year). The small city vs big city feelings go both ways, but it's never fun to pit the Salmon Kings against any team in the NHL. Sigh...
You know what - I think the zombie walk would have made the cut for getting me excited!
But if you think of any other events let me know!
ahhh... vancouver days. i STILL have the molson canadian sticker from that night - Seriously!!!... maybe a Canucks meet-up is in order this year! molson-zone, or not.
