Happy Canucks Thanksgivings Day

Well it is Monday, so a new week begins. But also today is Thanksgivings Day! I woke up at nine this morning because I wanted to start studying for my midterm exams. Before that, I ate breakfast first, then vacuumed the house and started studying for my history midterm.

Nothing really happened for another eight hours or so, since I've been studying like a total geek and the same time talking to people on MSN. I showered pretty early today, knowing that I will be sleeping early because of morning classes. After I showered, I studied again just when my cousins and relatives arrived.

We had hotpot instead of eating turkeys because no one was willing to go and buy it, in order to bake it. That was fine with me however. I didn't really eat a lot today, but still had a great time. I was able to finish two glass of red wines without any problems. After dinner, because I couldn't watch the Canucks' game on tv, I decided to ditch out and went back to my room to watch it.

By the time I started watching, it was the starting of the second quarter and Vancouver was up by one goal. The second period went by pretty quickly with actions everywhere. Though Vancouver didn't score but the Florida Panthers did, on a fluke goal that went off defencemen Alexander Edler's skate and the game going into the third period was tied 1-1.

In the third period, the Panthers looked more desperate than the Canucks, but Luongo backstopped the team. With just five minutes left in the game, Daniel Sedin scored a scramble rebound goal that just barely got over the line and Vancouver leads 2-1. The Panthers however did everything they could to tie the game but the Canucks' defense kept the offense off and that would be the final score. 2-1 Vancouver win! This game though was rather boring, I couldn't believe that Vancouver had no powerplays which is somewhat unbelievable. A win is a win, I'll take it. Luongo was spectacular!
