TCC#32 – Taking Dallas down in the first round
It was a nervous first round, but the Canucks pulled it off in game seven to win the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Dallas Stars. Rebecca and John lead off this episode, stepping on their balcony to capture the atmosphere of the downtown celebration going on in Vancouver. After that, Alanah phones J.J. just a few minutes after he left GM Place where he had tickets for this amazing game seven. He has some great reports of the atmosphere from inside and outside of the garage, and hopefully you can make out what he’s saying from all the noise of celebrating fans in the background.

Dave is unable to make an contribution to this episode, but the Canucks Outsider was streaming live for the entire game with a variety of guests. With the second round coming up, watch for Dave doing more of these live vidcasts as well as getting back into the round table with TCC. We’ll try to link up together soon to give our second round analysis.

the Canucks are in the playoffs WOOOOOOOOOOW
Hey!
WE MADE IT! I must admit I thought the worst when the Stars scored first.
But we won through in the end, thats what matters. It was a fantastic team effort. Bring on the Ducks!
Oh, and I was so hyper during and after the game that i didnt sleep. Been feeling like s**t all day!
J.J., You and i could fall out! Im so jelous that you were there to see it! Only joking…..I must also catch Daves vidcat. Alanah your still sexy! And theres no way Im leaving out John and Rebecca. Rebecca come here give me a big hug…John you can have a hug too, after all we are in the play-offs!, But in a manly purely hetro type way!
Oh this is such a good time!
Keep it real, keep it safe.
Steve
Hey Alysha… I second that… WHOOOOHOOO!
Thanks, Steve UK. It’s fun to listen to all the celebrating when you’re far away, isn’t it? I enjoyed it too. It would’ve been great to be in Vancouver last night!
Go Canucks!
Sexy Alanah is welcome on our couch anytime
I’m still pretty new to really closely following the NHL, is it always this heart-attack inducing??!!
What a Game 7!! That Louie save and the crossbar shot scared the crap outta me! The Linden goal and empty netters = awesome! I’m so happy they’re going to round 2, I’ll be watching tonight (I’m assuming VS. will have it on). As an aside, the vintage unis are sweet! I love the Orca logo (and I know how much Rebecca loves Phin!
), but it’s nice to break out the vintage on a fairly regular basis.
Thanks for the shout-out on the podcast, John! It’s cool that your parents are visiting. Mine are like “oh, that’s nice, you like hockey” but don’t understand it, lol. The atmosphere there sounds so awesome, I hope I can go to a game there someday!
Luke! Trust me, I can relate when it comes to the pains of hockey fan where you are. We’ll do our best to fill in your needs.
Thanks John! The playoffs is the first time I’ve gotten to watch Canuck game on TV all season except for the couple times they played the Blackhawks.
