TCP

That was official in 1996!

Now that I have had 48-hours to let the finale sink in, I have a few more thoughts. The final episode was the producers saying that the most important part of Lost was the characters. I disagree. Why did we all tune in every week? To watch Sawyer develop as a character? No. We watched in the hopes of some mysteries being revealed. At the end of the day, that's what Lost was about. They had a terrific way of having their answers only lead to more questions. That's not to say the characters weren't interesting or important. It just seems wrong to leave so many questions unanswered... I knew ev

So Ottawa's cup counts because they were in the NHL but Vancouver's doesn't because they were in another league that was at the time on par (if not better) than the NHL (not to mention the beat an NHL team)? You do realize that the Ottawa Senators who won the cup are not recognized as the same franchise that today calls themselves the Ottawa Senators, yes? Not that any of this matters but I will defend my team, my city, and my province till the bitter end!

Victoria too! That's two BC teams.

If you count Ottawa on there then you have to count Vancouver. Americans...

I guess things like that don't really matter.... but maybe the events from this last season could have been broken into two seasons. I did like the pacing but there was a lot of things that could have been fleshed out more. I'd have liked to seen more backstory on Jacob and MiB. Maybe even on the Island itself, how did it come to be? This season did give a lot of answers... Michael obviously wasn't in the church or in the other universe at all because he was stuck on the Island, doing the whisper thing. If they were all dead, who was Jack's son? Was he not real?

When will San Jose learn they need a major shake up??? It's obviously chemistry!

SO!!! What was The Man in Black's name? I give it a thumbs up, I don't understand the cynicism. That could have been a lot worse. A lot worse!!!! I just wanted some more loose ends tied up.... like Blackie's name, how Ben brought Anthony Cooper to the island, etc. But yes, why weren't Vincent and Richard in the church?!

Good to know that "San Jose" won't appear on the Stanley Cup... it's bad enough "Tampa Bay", "Carolina", and "Anaheim" are on there.

Good episode! Glad to see Zoe get her throat sliced. The way she just waltzed onto the Island like she owned the place... pointing guns at people and what not! A little bit disappointed the ending wasn't something a little bigger, being the last time an episode of Lost will end with a follow up to come.

I was being sarcastic! Hence the monkey.

Basically, Glenn's drumming has become really sloppy. There's been rumours for months.

I think the Habs winning, is obviously partly because of the team stepping it up but it undoubtatly speaks to how weak the Eastern conference is. It'll be interesting to see how whoever comes out of the east does against SJ or Chi.

As a Canadian I can say Crosby is the most popular player. I think earlier on in his career he got labeled a "cry-baby" by some fans but that was only a small backlash by serious hockey fans. He's silenced a lot of the critics by winning the cup and of course the gold medal winning goal. He could have run for Prime Minister after that goal. Disappointed in Boston... how do you blow a 3-0 series lead AND a 3-0 lead in game 7. That's fucking crazy. It was almost like they didn't want to win. A Habs vs Bruins eastern final would have been epic... maybe next year.

This might just be the craziest fucking thing I've ever seen.

Agreed... Bieksa had a good season three years ago... and a few good games every now and then but he needs to go. Honestly, he looks like a third line winger to me... which is disappointing because there was a time when he looked like he could have been a top-pairing d-man. Canucks need a new captain... either Henrik or Kesler, Luongo is a great player, a great team guy, but that series made it obvious that a goalie can't be a captain. Some new fourth liners would help too. And a big mix up on defense. Acquiring Ehrhoff was a great step, now we just need to do that a few more times. I hope th

You guys have said that a few times but I really think you should go back and re-watch some of the season 3 master pieces like "How Did Jack Get His Tattoos?" and "The Ballad of Paolo and Nikki", the compare it to Across The Sea.

Shaving off almost a months worth of playoff beard is hard, even if the beard wasn't that impressive.

I thought it was a good episode... those characters deserved an episode just for themselves. The kid that played Jacob looked eerily like him, almost creepy. Glad the skeletons are revealed... though did we really need that flashback from season 1? Wait, I'm confused... is Jacob's brother nameless? Like Led Zeppelin IV? Or have we just not been told his name, still??

I don't live in Vancouver. I also don't smoke pot. So maybe I'm just crazy!

See, I think you guys are proving my point. Bandwagon or not, the fanbase is new, and even though the team has stunk for years, the fans haven't been suffering with the team. The fans haven't payed their due yet. But that's ok! They might not even get out of the second round, never mind to the cup final, so it's a moot point for now!

Well, I will not be taking any road trips with you then, sir! Regardless of your fondness of Wilco and hockey. Anyways... Roberto is back!!! You'd have to imagine they can win Tuesday at home.... hmm....

Doesn't Pat have a 12-string Tele? I thought I saw a picture at one point......

Once I got stuck in an all day car ride with my sister and she played both discs of the Tragically Hip best-of-comp. It is top-5 in the worst days of my life.

It's a good one!
