Anybody attending the Canucks game tonight against the Ducks? Anaheim will be attempting to set a new NHL record, while Vancouver will attempt to play spoiler if they can hand Anaheim its first regulation loss of the season. By earning a point against the Canucks, the Ducks (11-0-4) can set the NHL...

Darren Flutie's wife did not go into labor before the start of the game, but did so after the game, forcing Flutie to miss the group photo shot after the game. When Comrie toured the GC trophy around to all his Brick outlets, there were 1994 team photos distributed. DF is in the photo, but it looks...

Just for fun, I've crunched all the possibilities of the remaining games that will determine who gets the third and final berth left in the west. Edm owns the tiebreaker against Ssk, having already won two of the three head-to-head games, with the third one left to play. There are five games left on...

On his pick of the Canucks for the Cup, I would have to say, "No chance, John Garrett," -- to borrow an overused phrase of his.

When pro football coaches wore suits and ties. I believe the last to do that was Tom Landry. If pro hockey and basketball coaches must still adhere to the formal dress code, I wonder when and why it was relaxed for football coaches. Probably because they're often exposed to the elements. I would be...

Seeing the Hamilton rain game reminded me -- remember when some players (usually QBs?) would wear those really long overcoats in inclement weather while on the bench? The only time you see those anymore is when John Facenda is narrating.

And when NHL head coaches wore hats...

Anyone know if there is a website that lists every tv show available? imdb.com If you can't find it there, then it doesn't exist -- I mean, they've even catalogued Canadian TV series. Off the top of my head, for example, Katts & Dog: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094491/ Littlest Hobo: http://ww...

I don't watch much TV except for sports and Sunday night Fox, so I'd have to say Arrested Development. I hated when they moved it to Monday up against MNF for the third season, with new eps appearing only sporadically -- like they wanted it to die. I still haven't seen the last seven or eight episod...

But PG also has a "Pita Pit". Where does that factor in? I don't think there are any Pita Pit's in Greater Vancouver, and my poll was exclusively for fast-food chains in the Lower Mainland. There's a few of them around in Van proper -- one on UBC campus, another downtown on Granville, a t...
