The Sweep was sweet! Canucks take Round 1

First of all, that overtime period would have been the death of me. 2 powerplays for the Blues, one of which was a 4 minute-long double minor, you can't imagine the sense of relief and just pure excitement that I felt when Alex Burrows scored the winning goal.

It took a second to register that it was in.

And then SCREAMING AND JUMPING UP AND DOWN WITH MY FRIENDS AS WE ALL HIGH-FIVED EACH OTHER.

Then more screaming and jumping. The whole place was rocking.

The atmosphere was insane.

But let's start at the very beginning. The Canucks took an early two goal lead with goals from Kyle Wellwood and Alex Burrows. They were playing really well and they were disciplined. There weren't a lot of penalties called through out the game, and it was just really solid throughout the whole line up.

In the 2nd period, the Blues started taking it to them again, and maybe the Canucks got a bit complacement, and Luongo, apaprently started cramping up.. eitherway, the Blues tied the game, and there was a hush in the crowd at Shark Club.

Oh did I mention that Luongo was done for a few minutes and we were pretty much going "OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT" Yeah. But he got up, was solid again afterwards and the Canucks survived the onslaught until Burrows put the puck in the net.

Just. Wow. I don't think anyone expected this from this team from last year, and even during January. This is unexpected, but I love it.

I did not know the sound of honking can sound like heaven to the ears until I was walking around Robson with my friends. Just. amazing.

Both the team and the fans were amazing.
