vancouver riot

My NHL playoff experience this year was completely opposite from the previous year. Ya see last year, my team -the Vancouver Canucks- made it to the Stanley Cup Finals and pushed a game seven against the Boston Bruins.

This year the Los Angles Kings beat out the Canucks (in round 1) and went on to win the Stanley Cup in Game six against the New Jersey Devils.  After the loss in New Jersey, Newark didn’t riot. And after the win in Los Angles, LA didn’t riot.

Los Angles. Stoked after the win.

All those years of school I was a weekend warrior, loving the city of Vancouver but also savoring every moment I had in the mountains.  After leaving Vancouver, and becoming a permanent resident in Whistler, I really (I mean, really) came to appreciate the small town vibe…
