Minnesota Wild, for Rowan's birthday. Luckily the Canucks won after extra-time and a shoot-out, thanks to some good saves by his hero Robert Luongo, the goal-keeper.</p> <p>I'm only just getting the hang of knowing which team is playing better, who is likely to score and whether a goal was due to good attacking or bad defensive play. It's coming though.</p> <p>Compared to UK football (soccer) matches the music is better, but I was a bit thrown by the national anthem played before the game as it was only a league match. It was against a US team though.</p> <p>There's more shoving and pushing on the pitch. Although some of it seems a bit ritualistic and half-hearted, referees do not intervene until somebody falls down. As a friend of mine made out, he once went to a boxing match and a game of ice hockey broke out half-way through.</p> <p>Strangely the game seems based on threes which seems unusual for a sport. There's three periods in a game, three referees on the pitch, and three sections to the pitch.</p> <p>We'll be living just across the road from the stadium so it was great to see what goes on inside, although I don't know how often we'll be going as it'd be expensive to go to regularly. It was the 159th consecutive sold-out home game (beat that Man U.) so there's no incentive to bring the prices down.</p> http://www.sheff2van.ca/simon/go-canucks-go#comments canucks football hockey Thu, 08 Mar 2007 00:45:32 -0500 simon 51 at http://www.sheff2van.ca
