A comment from Colin S. earlier today:
Hmm no new posts in a few days….
Has Alanah taken this loss a little harder than expected?
Has she hit the bottom of the bottle yet?
did she drink the worm?These are the questions that I want answered
God. You’d think after a lifetime of far worse moments, the death of the Canucks after a great season and a well-fought playoffs would be reasonably easy to cope with. Well, you would be wrong: I still get intensely bitter and waaaaaaaay too emotionally involved on behalf of this team. It really does take a few days to shake the violent hatred from my heart (and watching Hasek win the Wings series for them didn’t help that much) but I think I’m ready to come out of my cave.
Also, getting this photo in my email from a reader cheered me up considerably this morning. Sometimes it’s the little things that mean so much…
Back in action tomorrow with Deep Thoughts on the Conference Finals. Well, not that deep. But perhaps I’ll reveal some disturbing new reasons why small children and old ladies should steer clear of Dominik Hasek.
Stay tuned.

About Canucks & Beyond
Alanah McGinley has been blogging hockey since 2003 (with a notable gap in time through 2010, kicking it with new baby Lucy while living knee-deep in chaos while reading “parenting for complete idiots” during every spare minute) sharing opinions, rants and not-so-deep thoughts with anyone who will listen.
In addition to writing Canucks & Beyond and helping manage Kukla’s Korner, Alanah was one of the founders and co-hosts of The Crazy Canucks Podcast. She has contributed pieces to FoxSports.com and the New York Times Slapshot blog, as well as other stray destinations in cyberspace.
So that’s me. Who the hell are you?
