6 games left until the end of the season. I guess the possitive thing about it is, that there will be tons and tons of sticks up for grabs, at team stores, and on the NHL auctions, and possibly Ebay I guess. The bad thing about it is that if I want to send more TTM autographs out to current NHL players, I will either have to send it to their summer homes, in hopes of getting a response during the Summer, or just wait until next season. The other negative thing about the season ending is that there will, obviously no hockey until September/October. Kinda hard to believe that everything was happening 2 months ago, with the Olympics coming into town, the Canucks on their long road trip, and now in about 2 months from now, after the NHL playoffs are over, there is going to be no more excitment. But if the Canucks make it to the finals...the town is going to be buzzing with joy :)
The Canucks won an important game against the Pheonix Coyotes, 4-1 last night. Mason Raymond (yahh!!), Alez Burrows, Henrik Sedin, and Daniel Sedin scored for the Nucks, as they move 2 points closer to making the playoffs. All-star goalie, Roberto Luongo made 32 saves for the win, and Henrik Sedin has 104 points, for the league lead. Unfortunatly, Ryan Kesler was tossed from the game when he hit Derek Morris from behind, into the boards.
The Canucks can clinch a playoff spot if they win against the Los Angeles Kings tomorrow (April 1) The Canucks are currently, 7 points ahead of the Colorado Avalanche. LA got a shutout win against the Nashville Predators. This broke the 4 game losing streak the Kings have been riding on, for the past few games.
Erik Ersberg has a day-to-day back injury, Pavol Demitra has missed 4 games with personal reasons, Mikael Samuelsson is injured with an upper body injury, Steve Bernier is injured because of a groin injury, Alex Bolduc has a shoulder injury, and Willie Mitchell is still out with a concussion. Shane O'Brien has been suspended by the team (probably for being late for practice)
Kevin Bieksa Player Profile
Kevin Bieksa, currently a Vancouver Canuck defencemen, was born in Grimsby, Ontario. He was selected in the 5th round, 151st overall in the 2001 Entry Draft. He has 2 assists in his last 5 games

My Hockey Autograph Projects
Sorry once again that I haven't updated my blog in the past week. Actually, I don't even know if anyone is reading this, but in case any of you are I thought I should keep updating it a few times a week.
Now with all of the excitment gone from the Olympics, I thought that I would keep on working on a few autograph projects.
Some projects that I am working on are:
1. My Canucks t-shirt. I have 4 autographs from Trevor Linden, Ryan Kesler, Mason Raymond, and Alex Burrows (I got the autograph from Burrows, last week at a Best Buy signing).
2. My goal of 100 TTM autographs by the end of the year. I currently have around 25. I have just mailed like 5 out in the past week. And the autographs can come from the same player. I am not looking to get 100 autos from 100 different players.
3. My Ryan Kesler and Mason Raymond pc (personal collection) hasn't had any new cards in lately. The last cards came in, in January.
4. My stick collection. Well...I have 1 practice used Taylor Pyatt stick in my collection. I am trying to add another stick to my pc in the next few months. Don't know which player, because I can choose from any player in the NHL, but I have thought about it, and thought, maybe a Drew Miller, Ryan Criag, Craig Conroy, or Mason Raymond.
The Canucks unfortunatly lost to a powerful San Jose team the other night. Patrick Marleau was a threat all night, scoring 1 goal, and adding 3 assists. Henrik Sedin got 2 assists, and Joe Pavelski got a goal. Alex Burrows got the games first goal in a losing cause. The Canucks are currently winning 4-1 against Pheonix, and that game is in the 3rd period. Hopefully they can win this game.
Thanks for Reading!

Canucks are 5 Points Ahead of Avs for Northwest Division Lead
Vancouver won a game against the Anaheim Ducks last night, 4-1. Christian Ehroff, Daniel Sedin, Alex Burrows, and Ryan Kesler scored for the Canucks, while Saku Koivu scored the only goal for Anaheim, breaking the any hopes of Andrew Raycroft getting the shutout. Henrik Sedin also got 99 points. One more point than Capitals star, Alex Ovechkin.
The next Canucks game will be on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks.
The LA Kings came back to tie up a game against the Colorado Avalanche, before the Avs won in a shootout 4-3. The Avalanche were once leading 3-1. Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, to help the Kings to come from behind. When Paul Stastny scored, after he banked a shot off of Drew Doughty, Terry Murray replaced Jonathon Quick with Erik Ersberg. Quick had only faced 16 shots.
Luckily, the Canucks beat the Ducks, or the Avalanche would be only 3 points behind the Canucks.

Almost Playoff Time...
Wow. The Paralympics just flew by. And I heardly watched any of it.
Anyways...10 games to go until the playoffs for the Canucks. They just lost a heart-breking game to the Detroit Redwings. The Canucks had a comfortable 2-0 lead, until the Redwings scored 5 seconds apart to make it 2-2. Then in overtime, the Redwings end up scoring woth 0.2 seconds left in the game. OMG! I couldn't believe that. The next game is tomorrow against the struggling Oilers.Well, I guess they aren't struggling now, since they are on a 2 game winning streak. But thats after a 5 game losing streak.
I can't wait until tomorrows game.
I just sent 2 more TTMs out.
One to Dustin Penner on Friday, and 1 to Travis Zajac today. :)

2 TTM autographs from Bower and Hull
Today was a very good day. When I opened up my mailbox, there were 2 envelopes waiting for me. One was from Brett Hull and the other one was from Johnny Bower.
WOW! My first time I have gotten 2 TTM autograph requests back in 1 day! Johnny Bower was nice enough to sihn 5 index cards for me, while Brett Hull was also very generous signing 3 of my hockey cards. I guess he kept my 1-2 other index cards that I sent him. I have mailed a few more out, sending 1 to Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche, one to Jaroslav Halak (but unfortunatly forgot to put the stamp on the sase. Long story) one to Brian Gionta and a few more.
The paralympic opening ceremonies are tonight, but will be on TV tomorrow afternoon I believe. I wonder what its going to be like...
The Canucks will be playing tomorrow, against the Ottawa Senators. Steve Bernier is out because of a sports hernia, and Kevin Bieksa is out because of his left ankle tendons, which was injured when a skate cut his leg in December.
Chris Kelly has a lower body injury and can possibly play tomorrow. Nick Foligno has a broken right fibula is out and Filip Kuba has a lower body injury. Foligno and Kuba might be at practice on Monday.
Anton Volchenkov blocked his 1000th shot on Thrusday, something that he started during the 2005-06 season.
Vancouver currently has 41 wins, while the Senators have 37.

Sorry for not Updating my Blog...
Sorry everyone that I haven't been blogging. I have just been busy and haven't really found anything to write about.
If you still want Paraympic tickets, they are still available. There is still some stuff left in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic store on Vancouver 2010.com, but more than half of it is sold out. Yesterday, March 10 2010, the Sedin twins donated 1.5 million dollars to the Childrens Hospital, whcih was very nice of them. Speaking of the Sedin twins...Henrik got a goal while Daniel got an assist in yesterdays shootout loss to the Pheonix Coyotes.
Thanks for reading.

Paralympics
Just a reminder...Tickets for the Paralympics are still on sale. Some of the tickets are 15 dollars, and prices can go up to about 150 dollars. There is still about 5 days until the opening ceremonies. Sledge hockey and the skiing I think will be the most exciting!
Just a short post today.

Paralympics...1 week to go!
A few days ago I got a Deborah Compagnoni signed postcard...mailed to me all of the way from Italy. She is a former Italian alpine skiier, and won gold medals at the 1992, 1994, and the 1998 Olympic Winter games. I sent her an email asking for the autograph.
It took only a few weeks to get the postcard.
Another week until the paralympics which is pretty hard to believe, because its felt like forever since the Olympics ended.
There is going to be 5 sports:
Alpine Skiing
Biathlon
Cross Country Skiing
Ice Sledge Hockey
WheelChair Curling
The paralympic torch is I believe, somewhere near the east. On day 1, it was in Ottawa, day 2 was in Quebec, and day 3 was in Toronto.
Note: Rick Mercer represented British Columbia in Ottawa as the first torch bearer in the Torch Relay Lighting Ceremony.

Paralympics
The paralympics are coming up, so I thought I would go to a few events.
You should try going to a few events because tickets are very cheap, compared to the Olympics that just ended. https://frontline-tickets.vancouver2010.com/buy/TicketSales?agency=OLMP_MYTIXX&roomid=5
The sledge hockey will be pretty cool to watch, but that sport is popular, from what I hear, so I think it will be hard to get tickets for that.
http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-news/n/news/whistler-medals-plaza_297882cc.html
Here is some news from the 2010 paralympic Winter Games. I think the games coming up will still be exciting, even though a lot of tourists have gone home, leaving the streets of VanCity dead.
Some events to be at for the paralympic games:
BC Hydro Powersmart Village
Canada's Northern House
CentrePlace Manitoba
GE Plaza (Robson Square)
LiveCity Downtown
Olympic Cauldron (very nice)
Hopefully Vancouver will be still fun, even though the Olympics are over, with the Canucks looking to make a deep playoff run. There is still Stanley Park to walk, rollerblade, or to have fun on the beach, and the fireworks that happen every Summer, which is always fun and entertaining.
The Canucks won last night against Columbus...in overtime. It seems that the NHL players, now that the Olympics are over...aren't as fast or skilled as the Canadain team.
The Canucks got Andrew Alberts (one of my favourite players, when he was with the Giants), Yan Stastny, and PC Labrie through the trade deadline.

Looking Ahead...Sochi 2014 Winter games
Since the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are over (except for the paralympics of course), and in my opinion, I think I missed all the excitment leading up to the games (I didn't miss the excitment during the games though, but missed the excitment leading up to the games), I thought I would pay more attention to the 2014 Sochi Olympics, coming up in 4 years.
I am going to try to collect pins, and to possibly learn a little bit of russian.

Paralympics
Sadly, the Olympics are over :( But not the Paralympics :). The Olympics were pretty exciting. Canada, as many know, won 14 gold medals!
Pin trading is prety exciting because it sort of brings people together to trade. If you didn't pin trade during the Vancouver Olympics, you can always collect pins during the 2014 Sochi Olympics, or even the 2012 London Summer Olympics. There is still time left, with the paralympics coming to town next week.
