Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
The 2010/2011 NHL season has come to an end, and while it didn’t finish up at all the way we wanted (especially thanks to a crowd of douchebags), the Canucks gave us one of the most exciting season’s we’ve had in 17 years, and I’m glad we got to experience so much of it in … Continue reading Hockey with Baby
Hello Blog Friends! As I’m sure some of you know, I’ve got season’s tickets to the Vancouver Canucks. Going to 45 games a season is a bit daunting, so I share the tickets with family and friends. It’s an excellent way to see some games at a big discount from the one-off purchase price. With … Continue reading Go Canucks Go!
It’s that time of year again, and the time of year when I have extra tickets for games I can’t make it to. First up: Wednesday September 26th vs. San Jose – 7:00pm. The tickets are in Section 322, Row 15, Seats 109/110. Price: $120 for the pair. That’s my cost. (Regular price is around … Continue reading Hockey Time
congrats_b.jpg Originally uploaded by CouzinHub. I swear I’m doing more with my life these days than watching hockey and selling tickets. As soon as I figure out what that is, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, I’ve gotten a LOT of interested parties contacting me regarding Round 2 playoff tickets. Yes I have them, … Continue reading Game 6 – Get it Now!
UPDATE: sold again! Effing hockey team. I was seriously hoping that the Canucks would have won game 5 or 6, so I wouldn’t be in the position of having to sell the tickets for game seven. So much for that idea. So I have one pair of tickets available for the Western Quarterfinals – Tomorrow … Continue reading Insert inventive title about hockey tickets here
UPDATE: Sold! I love it when a plan comes together. It seems my career as a high rollin’ ticket broker is just not meant to be. With the flood of tickets to tonight’s game on the market, I’ve had absolutely zero success selling my pair thus far. As much fun as it would be to … Continue reading Playoff Tickets One More Time
It’s that time of year – the Canucks have made it to the playoffs once again, and probably won’t go past the first round (once again). Personally, the lure of the cash draws me more than the lure of seeing playoff hockey – so if you’re interested in contributing to the “Jen’s unemployed and has … Continue reading Playoff Tickets

Best quote for a Monday: I’m trying to be excited that there’s a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Everyone seems to think that’s reason enough to cheer for the damned Oilers. But to me, it’s like cheering for SARS just because lots of people got it in Toronto. –meg @ blogcabin As for … Continue reading Greasy
canucks.com screenshot In their last Vancouver matchup for the next three years (fuck you very much, New NHL), I watched the Vancouver Canucks completely embarrass the Montreal Canadiens. It was definitely great to see my boys in blue take down the Habs, and yet, at the same time my heart was breaking. You see, I … Continue reading Na Na, Hey Hey, GOODBYE!
Canucks fans, I am sorry. I’m cursed. You see, every game I watch, the Canucks manage to pull it off and win – occasionally in spectacular fashion and against some very strong odds! And the games I don’t watch – they manage to even blow what should be sure things. It’s gotten completely out of … Continue reading The Curse
What’s Good? Slipping on my much neglected Canucks Jersey, because HOCKEY’S BACK KIDS! What’s Better? Wandering through the streets of Vancouver with it on, sharing the home-team cameraderie with my fellow fans. Knowing glances, smiles, and even the occasional high-five from complete strangers – it does a body good! What’s Best? Talking to the strangers, … Continue reading Good, Better, Best
IT’S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME! The Canucks announced today that they’ve re-signed Matt Cooke for a multi-year contract. Further details here. T-minus 3 days until I see some pre-season action. Two weeks until the home opener. Where will you be? Continue reading C is for Cookie, and that’s good enough for me!
