After last night's 1-0 loss to the LA Kings, the Vancouver Canucks are on the verge of being swept in the first time since 2001 to the Colorado Avalanche. My quote after losing to Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals was, "We will be back next year." Well, this would be something I really want to take back now.
This team dominated in the regular season but the Presidents Trophy had been a whole lot of concern. From Day 1 on, I kept telling people that the overrated trophy is not something that the Canucks would want to get. Yes I do believe in the Presidents Trophy curse, I don't care if people aren't superstitious. I've got facts to back up my statements. Detroit Redwings 2006 over 120+ points. San Jose Sharks 2009, 53 wins. Washington 2010, 120+ points. And now the Vancouver Canucks 2012, 51 wins.
How does being #1 in the league even make you proud? We already got it last year and nearly choked it all up. "But we will have home ice advantage" Well, how did that turn out? We lost both at home! So that statement is so irrelevant. Home ice advantage has no meaning if you don't win!! Remember 2010 playoffs against Chicago? 0/3 at home!
Remember, Detroit, San Jose and Washington lost as a result of against a hot goalie and a defensive juggernaut team! Canucks are no different in this situation in dealing with the Kings! Well, looks like I am proving to all my idiot fellow Canucks fan who were stupid enough to want that Presidents Trophy. Well, you guys got it and look what is happening to this team. You happy now?
And to all of you who stated how the Canucks got to game 7 of the finals last year winning the Presidents Trophy, Vancouver had 54 wins and under 120+ points. As well, they played Chicago who wasn't as great defensively as the 2012 LA Kings. That being said, we were lucky enough to have beaten the Hawks in game 7. But look at what happened when the Canucks played the Boston Bruins, who is similar to the Kings of 2012. The Canucks lost! Bottom line, the Presidents Trophy is a curse so that get through your heads!! If you still don't believe it, you are in denial! When fact is presented in front of you.
This year hurts, the loss yesterday is a stab in the heart. Good guys never win, but bad guys always win. Justice.. no justice. Passionate fans never see their team success but bandwagon fans gets to see their team success. I agree, this world is never fair. I sure know how the Toronto Maple Leafs fans feel now. Well, no matter what the fans in Vancouver including myself and my crew will be together on this possible last game of the year on Wednesday. With my last breath and my last energy, we will fight to the very last man even if it means the destruction of our existence, Go Canucks Go! Will we some light in this spread of darkness?
A passioniate sports fans that never gets his desires

Hockey Pool Year 4: Week 25 Recap
Well, the week was short lived but the week has finally ended. My hockey pool business for 2012 is over! Before I go on, I just wanted to congratulate Team Justin for winning his first every league champion and Team KillerKane for winning back to back champions.
Since I was defeated in the semi final last week, I had to settle for 3rd place. Well in my NHL League, I played Team thething and had no problem beating him from start to finish. My goalies was great and my team was scoring enough to preserve this win. I end up winning 13-4 and won 3rd place.
In my VCanucks2012, I played Team 叉燒包 who I have currently swept in the regular season. Well we met again and I have no problem completely destroying him with a 16-1 win. My skaters and my goalies were just too much for him. Well now that hockey pool is all over, there is only one more thing and by far the most important thing, the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Well, my beloved Vancouver Canucks has captured their second consecutive Presidents Trophy in a row for being the league's best regular season with a 51-22-9 record. Playoff matchups have all been decided and Vancouver will be playing the Los Angelos Kings. I honestly dislike the Presidents Trophy as it puts too much pressure on the team to maintain success throughout the playoffs. As for the opponents, I won't even complain to who the Canucks will play, because to be a champion, one has to beat everything in its way! Schedule will be released tomorrow time to sleep!

College Year 2: Day 78-80 Final
Well today marked the last day of the Spring semester. It was one tough ride but now the real test begins. Exams will be starting next week! Well I didn't really get a chance to blog because I busy with my research paper until midnight today.
This morning, I woke up at 6:50am as I had planned to do so in order to get to school early to study for my quiz today. Had noodles with Wonton. Later, got a ride to school from my mom.
I spend the first hour and a half studying on the comfy couch and then moved to the benches outside of my classroom and then inside my classroom. We did have the quiz right away when class began. 15 Multiple choice questions, 3 True or False and 2 short answers. After the quiz we finished off the lecture on Sexuality and Genders, as well as our final group discussions on male beauty. At the end of class, we did group evaluation and the course evaluation.
When everything is done, I head to the library to watch drama and then quickly finished my weekly readings before heading to class at 3:20pm. As I handed in my research essay and paragraph response. We finished the class off going over the discussion questions.
After class I went home to study a bit before watching the Canucks game and then had hot pot dinner and then relaxed before showering and now blogging. Time to sleep!

TVB Drama Review: Queens of Diamonds and Hearts
Well today I finished yet another drama series which is as listed on the title, Queens of Diamonds and Hearts. This show features primarily Roger Kwok ( The Emperor ), Fala Chan ( Queen of East Palace ) and Sharon Chan ( Queen of West Palace ).
This place setting is at the Qi Dynasty just located North East of China. Roger, who was the king was seen rather useless as he never bothers care about the country but rather himself and spends his time having fun. Fala one day was then ordered by her master to become the Queen of Qi to help the king and defend the country. Her tatoo on the her right eye is according to many people the map of Qi which means she is destined to save the country.
Difference between Fala and Sharon is that Fala was loved by the peasants and actually bothered caring about the country, while Sharon only wants to flirt with the King and doesn't care about anything else. Until later when the King was lost and had Fala saved him, he started to develop and soon matured at a slow pace.
Until Fala, Sharon and Roger's soul got changed later on, that was the first time when Roger actually rejected the flirt of Sharon as he is really maturing. And in the end, when Sharon's pregnancy ended due to poisoning from Ben Wong ( Lord who always wanted to rebel and overthrow the king so he could be emperor ) Sharon and Roger finally realize their flaws of mistreating and mistrusting Fala and when they succeeded in pressing down the rebellion they fully changed for the better.
Lesson learned that always appreciate the ones who are really your friend and are trying to help you. It also suggested that beauty does not represent the goods nor does ugly represents the bad. It could flow either way!

Hockey Pool Year 4: Week 24 Recap
Well, the second round ended. I'm just gonna go short for this post, feeling pretty down right now. Yes both of my teams lost in the Semis. After so much hardwork, it had to end this way. Clearly my team was the far more superior team but one thing is certain. It doesn't matter how great your team is, you can't compete against fate. Yes that was what I was challenging, it was fate. The undesirable of finishing 1st really taught me a lesson. It was one of those mistakes where you know its wrong but you still do it and now I pay the price.
I lost 10-6 in my NHL League and 9-8 in my VCanucks2012 League. With the Sharks struggling, I knew it was going to be tough. My 10-6 loss is absolutely no chance of coming back as my opponent grew really hot in the middle of the week. Well I'm happy for my opponent to make it back to the finals since I defeated him in 2010 to claim my first title. My 9-8 loss was to my bitter rival whose team and players I hated pretty much. We traded leads for most parts until the very last day where I was leading 9-8. It all went wrong after he acquired 3 straight points which I called complete bullshit. But whatever, LETS GO TEAM HKL and Captain! 2 former commissioner and the future commissioner. Now that I'm playing for 3rd now. I don't really need to care too much and can direct my focus to school and the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoff. God, you owe me one. You know how much this loss hurts? I ask for nothing more but a Stanley Cup to Vancouver. Then I can forget everything else.
