The "B" word. Just - Don't say it.



They can get rabid.

Although, they seem to have quieted down a little lately since the last 2 games. But- I predict that will change in the next couple days...when The Game comes back to Vancouver.

They do have their faithful followers.

The City of Kamloops' hospital - the one my Folks go to - needs a new ICU and the community needs to raise $3 million of the $11 million required to build.

So, the hospital chooses the obvious name to put to their campaign....Mark Recchi (too old to be playing - at age 43!!).

Recchi is a big supporter of everything local. There is even a road named after him. He puts his name to good causes and supports local charities. 

He even is part owner of the local Junior Hockey League Team - the Kamloops Blazers.

Unfortunately, the hospital didn't see this coming when they posted the Billboard announcing the campaign:

Vancouver vs Boston in the finals - and it is obvious who the fans of the city supports.


First this appeared:

the mysterious Canucks Jersey appears

And when that was taken down, this went up:

Mark Recchi cheering on the Canucks

And finally, when #2 attempt was removed - this went up:

Canuck's Logo and Finger added

Persistent critters, these fans.

They just can't be put down!



Oh....and remember the change in Boston Pizza's name that I mentioned a few posts back?

Tim Horton's has changed their Boston Creme Donut's name:

It's now a "Vancouver Creme" donut.
