May I remind you of the Vancouver Giants? Although the tickets are not an exhorbitant $60 for the nosebleeds (the most in Canada - stat courtesy of Monday's Metro), the Giants deserve just as much, if not more, recognition as being Vancouver's team. <br />Their resume, since inaugerated in 2001:<br />- one President's Cup<br />- one Memorial Cup<br />That's 2 cups in 10 years! The closest thing the Canucks have come to a cup is at the Roxy on Sunday night. The Giants are the spirit of hockey in Vancouver, as one can tell from the buzz in the crowd (or is that the fact that I only paid $15 a ticket and can therefore afford the $7 beer, or 2?!).<br />Now digressing from hockey, if I liked baseball, I am sure I could find some redeeming stats about the Vancouver Canadians. How about badminton? We must be good at that?!<br />Thanks for the reading suggestion - maybe it will give more insight to Mr Simmons and his neverdying love of the Boston Red Socks.Britt S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03230842113447560432noreply@blogger.com
