A sunny morning seemed to made everything looking good today. I woke up around 10:30 am today, because my mom wanted me to practice driving. FYI, driving sucks ass, I hate it so much.
Anyways I practiced around 45 minutes, with my mom talking so much that it pretty much pissed me off. Later I came home just to eat breakfast before my driving instructor came to pick me up.
Around 12:30, he did pick me up. My mom went with me, because she wanted to see me driving with my instructor. For fuck sakes, leave me alone with the driving. I felt like I'm getting pressured drastically whenever she wanted me to drive. There was no way that my confident level will ever rise whenever I felt the pressure she gave me.
Anyways, I made some minor mistakes and 2 major mistakes. My 2 major mistakes was when the traffic light turned yellow, I sped up dramatically. Unfortunately, there was a car in front waiting to left turn. Therefore my driving instructor had to put on the brakes. The second major mistake was when he told me to left turn at the traffic light. I probably wasn't paying attention much, and almost changed to the bicycle lane. My minor mistakes were only that my left turning weren't too good, but I should be able to correct them. After I head home, my mom wanted to come along with me to my next driving lesson and on the day I retake my road exam. Even more pressure than ever. In my opinion, she will only kill my momentum.
After my driving lesson, she went out on her own and me and my sister were home alone again. I spend the rest of my day, listening to music and reading the Canucks forum.
Today is the day that Vancouver and Chicago play in the playoff once again. Last year, the Hawks eliminated Vancouver in 6 games. Although the nightmare got in my head. The Vancouver Canucks so far disagreed with that.
Before the game, I said that I'm looking forward to hear all the booing, and it seems like I pretty much got what I desired. By 5 pm, all my friends arrived at my place to watch the hockey game. The puck dropped exactly at 5:10.
Vancouver opened the scoring when Christian Ehrhoff fired a quick shot past Hawks' netminder Antti Niemi and Vancouver leads 1-0. At that point, the crowd started booing, and in joy, I turned on my TV as loud as I can to hear the booing even more.
Just before the period ended, Mason Raymond fired a rebound that Antti Niemi left after saving a shot and scored, giving Vancouver a 2-0 lead. I highfived all my friends. The second period ended, with the score 2-0 for Vancouver and the shot 17 -13 for Chicago.
Before the second period started, the pizza delivery person came, because we ordered pizza. We ended up paying 35 dollars for 3 pizzas. We ate a little bit, just before the game resumed.
In the second period, the Canucks dominated Chicago. Henrik Sedin, scored from a pass that his brother Daniel fed him after Niemi stopped Daniel Sedin with the right pad, and Vancouver leads 3-0. Again, I highfived all my friends right after the goal has been scored. The game went back and fourth, but Vancouver played as a team and pretty much shutdown the Hawks offense. When Patrick Kane AKA Mr.Twenty Cents took a penalty, Kyle Wellwood scored on a loose puck. Vancouver leads 4-0. Again, same routine. I highfived all my friends right after that. Minutes later, Michael Grabner scored his first National Hockey League playoff goal and Vancouver has a 5-0 lead. The crowd booed once again, and I turned on the volume of my TV just to hear the beautiful sound of the boos. The second period ended with Vancouver in a commanding 5-0 lead.
Here is a statistic about the Vancouver Canucks. When they lead the game after two periods of play, their winning rate is at 99%, pretty close to never losing a game.
In the 3rd period, Vancouver took two penalties, giving Chicago a 5 on 3 powerplay for over a minute. Patrick Kane AKA Mr.Twenty Cents scored because Luongo couldn't freeze the puck and Vancouver's lead has been cut to 5-1. For the rest of the game, there were no scoring and that would be the final score. Vancouver now leads 1-0 in the best of seven. Even if they won this game, I still won't be celebrating just yet. Last year, Vancouver won game 1 and ended up losing the series in game 6. This is a good start, but they will have to keep this up for the rest of the series.
