What do you even say about last night? What we should be talking about is how the Vancouver Canucks took us on an amazing journey to the Stanley Cup Finals. We should be congratulating Boston on a well deserved win led by Thomas who was lights out as their goalie, but the focus is on the riots that happened afterwards.

I am going to say very little about the riots. The people who took part are idiots and not Canucks fans. They were there to start trouble and that is it. They have painted all Vancouverites and Canucks fans in a bad light and it overshadowed what should have been a night of celebration.

What I do want to say is that I am so proud of the Vancouver Canucks. Like I said, they took us on an incredible journey and although they didn’t win the cup, it was fun just to be along for the ride. For the last few months we have believed in blue and for the true fans of the Vancouver Canucks, we will believe in blue today, tomorrow and always.

I know people are disappointed we didn’t win last night. I am disappointed. But most of all I am heartbroken for all the players on the Canucks who didn’t get to claim the prize they so covet. I think that is what brought me to tears last night. It wasn’t that we didn’t win but that I wanted it so badly…. for them.

And so the city and players are left still seeking Stanley but I am left with admiration for the team that almost got us there.

I am not sure there are really words for how I felt after game 6. I really wanted us to win it in Boston mainly because I just don’t handle game 7 situations very well. But we didn’t win it in Boston. I felt like we played a solid game in the second and third period. But the first period… could we maybe just go back and have those first 10 minutes back?

I was pretty emotionless through much of the game. I needed to give myself a talking to after the first period and get back in the game. We still had another game after all!

And I am so tired of people jumping all over Luongo. Did he play great? No! Although he didn’t get much help from the D. Did we need him to be? Yes! But it is what it is. He is still a goalie that has gotten us to the Stanley Cup Finals and has taken us farther than any other goalie for a long time.

But I am happy for Schneider because I thought he played great. And it was great for his parents to be able to see him play in a game!

And I am happy we got on the board. That we were able to get some past Thomas and go into game 7 knowing that we CAN score against him. (I love how I am always saying “we”. Like I am a part of the team. But I do feel like we all are!)

As I walked home, I walked along Granville Street and through the crowds. People were quiet but I still sensed optimism. I saw people high fiving each other. People laughing and smiling. It was great to clear my head.

Tomorrow is a new day. And could be the day we win the Stanley Cup.
