The bright sun this morning seem to make the day promising. I woke up early today, because it's Mother's Day. Last night, I reserved table for breakfast at a Chinese restaurant.
By 9:30, my mom, sister and I were at the Chinese restaurant eating. We did ordered quite a bit of Dim Sum. At the end, we ended up paying $43.53.
After that, we went to metro and shopped for a while. My mom went to look at shoes because my dad need new shoes. My sister and I went and bought her a mother's day gift. The gift cost 65 dollars. Later, we went home because we're all exhausted.
Today was Vancouver's last chance to stay alive in the 2010 playoffs. I had a couple of friends over to watch the game.
The game began well for Vancouver. Christian Ehrhoff snapped a shot from the blue line pasted Antti Niemi, and Vancouver leads 1-0. With ten minutes to go in the first period. Kevin Bieksa scored on the 2 on 1 rush on the forehand and Vancouver leads 2-0. The period ended with Vancouver leading 2-0. I didn't really react to Vancouver's goals, except giving a small "yay" reaction. Also, Sami Salo was hurt when he blocked a slapshot as the first period came to an end. It seems like that he was hit in the testicles. So he left the game and didn't return. Another defensemen gone, *sigh.*
The second period was pretty much the same thing. Kevin Bieksa scored on the powerplay, when he took a one-timer slapshot. Vancouver has a 3-0 lead. No scoring for the rest of the period for Vancouver. During the second period, Shane O'Brien got hit in the face by a stick, and blood was squirting out. This game has turned into a bloodshed battle.
In the third period, there were no scoring until with six minutes to go in the game. Blackhawks' captain Johnathan Toews scored on a deflection and Vancouver leads 3-1 now. The Hawks looked like they have energy, but right off the faceoff, they took a penalty and Vancouver didn't score. With a minute left to go, Alex Burrows finished the game off with an empty net. Vancouver won 4-1. They now head home trailing the series 3-2.
I cannot say I was disappointed with the performance today. The Canucks were disciplined and didn't take stupid penalties, but there were stupid penalties called against them. That's okay, they killed off all the hawks' powerplay. Something they didn't do in game 4. Anyways, game 6 back in Vancouver. The boys need to play like they did today. I'll repeat once again, to keep playing or go home, you guys decide as a team!
On another note, I was impressed that the Phoenix Suns has swept the San Antonio Spurs. The Suns had great difficulty beating the Spurs in the post season in previous years, but this year they were able to do it! Now most likely they will be playing the Los Angeles Lakers.
Anyways, happy Mother's Day! Game 6 on tuesday!
