so me and my mom had a tiny half mass on tuesday, as we hummed taps and removed the oilers flag from her car. i was depressed, but now...feeling a bit better. it was a fantastic run and as cheesy as it sounds i was glad to be part of this city for the excitement, the fans, participation and fun that was brought during this playoff run.
i went to the rally today. it was a little bittersweet. i felt bad for the players because i don't think they really wanted to celebrate anything but they just wanted to thank the fans. and it was sad when ryan smyth teared up a little...my eyes watered a bit i admit it. but i am glad they came out to thank everyone. i think that some of it was a little too political for my taste as the deputy minister of finance, shirley mcclellan was thanking all the MLA's (as they have done so much for hockey?) , and the priemer....(why, he didn't even show up to a game). it was suppose to be a fan event not some political arena. but i did enjoy patrick laforge's speech when he mentioned how he apprecieated all the fans those that went to rexall and those that could not, the inner city to lac la biche...and the dig he gave mcclellan when he said that he was surprised she did not address that...it made me laugh. it was a nice closing event.
and p.s. i still stand by my statement about the hockey players and my mother agreed as staios, moreau, and jason smith were looking very hot!
that is the end of my hockey speel until playoffs 2007, we will get them next year! :)

Awww - I like how you had your own little funeral. That is to funny.
Yah why would the DM thank the MLA's what the heck did they do?
