So, the Canadian Space Agency announced the hiring of their two astronauts. A fighter pilot and a medical doctor/astrophysicist. I guess I shouldn't feel too badly about not being chosen.
On more urgent matters...what is wrong with people and hockey? I can't take it any more. Tuesday was nothing but all the superfans talking about how upset they were. The papers are nothing but tearing into the Canucks and talking about how badly this team needs to change. I don't really get that. I understand that this team didn't get it done. But this team is the one that inspired so much confidence and put them in that position in the first place. This team had the lead in every game and came very, very close to having a 3-1 lead in the series. Yes, they lost, but I don't think it's as grim or as dire as it seems. Are we really going to be better off not signing the Sedin's? Trading Luongo? It's crazy.
And here goes my theory for why a Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley cup since 1993, or whenever it was. It's because of Canadians. We're so impatient, we will not longer stand for a "re-building". Aside from Detroit and perhaps Anaheim, every team remaining in the playoffs today was out in the wastelands only a few years ago. A Canadian team might suck, but it will never make it to the wastelands. It's not acceptable for a GM to have a master plan and have his team suck for a year or two. It has to be good RIGHT NOW! It has to show that it's doing something to get better right away. I don't think this is a recipe for long term success. So, Canada, blame yourself. It's your fault.
