That was how the west was won.

Leyzerbombs,

Un.Fucking.Believable.

I seriously think I blacked out after Kesler scored in the dying seconds of the third to force OT. I definitely had a serious case of "protective mother strength", that's for sure.
By the time Bieksa put the puck in the net, I just fell over. I had had enough.
*eats 10 rolaids*
Roberto Luongo was, without a doubt, the best player in this game. If you doubt Lu (as I have in the past), just know now that he's locked in. He's gonna be sharp for the rest of the playoffs. I will go out of my way to GUARANTEE that.
I hope you all remember that I picked the Canucks to dispose of the Sharks in 5 games. Just remember that. My cup prediction will be coming very shortly.
Man the city is ALIVE  tonight, eh! Honking horns, morons waving flags on road dividers, people young and old, just celebrating like their lives depend on it!
*HONK HONK HONKHONKHONKHONK!!!!!!*
This is all a bit surreal at the moment. THE CANUCKS ARE GOING TO THE FINALS! FINALLY! They have passed every test thrown their way this year!
Now...just one more. One more series. Four more wins, and that's it.
Let it also be known, that I am naming my first born child, Bieksa Leydon. Hopefully it's a girl, because it kind of sounds nice. It's a bit of a girly last name, but a giant of a dude carries it with pride. and he's a legend now. There's no doubt about it. He's "forever a Canuck". Not to be disputed.
I realize, that the above declaration may be a bit much, so maybe I'll settle for naming a pet that instead. Or just legally change my own name to Bieksa. We'll see.
Also, let it be known that the above picture was taken in 1994, the last time the Canucks were in the finals. Know that they didn't win. So that kind of exhaustion that is being shown on Trevor Linden's face is what it takes to lose the Cup. Imagine how hard you have to work to win? Imagine how much more blood needs to be spilled on your jersey?
I look back to my childhood tonight, and think of dreaming of playing in the Stanley Cup. Lord knows that didn't turn out as planned, so fuck it. I'll take this as a close second. I'm living in a city that has a chance to win the Cup. Un. Fucking. Believable.
I need to lay in my bed now, and try to calm down, and try to erase the memory of the number of terrible commercials there are on CBC broadcasts.
Goodnight all.
See you soon Boston.
