I just got back from Robson Street, what a patriotic super crowd! Vancouver is filled with people heading to the downtown core. It is a crowd unlike any I have ever been part of before. More than just sports fans, it is a real cross-section of Canadians and people from all corners of the world. And the mood is awesome. I was downtown during the lead up to the Stanley Cup riot back in '93. I am proud to say Vancouver has grown up a lot in my opinion. And the patriotism on the streets right now is worth savouring. Whoo hoo, rock on Canada!

I'll post a few more photos in a few days.

That was an incredible game. Had me on the edge of my seat all afternoon.

I drove down to Portage an Main and saw a few hundred people and a game of ball hockey in the middle of the biggest intersection in Winnipeg. Deja vu from 2002
Great to see so many proud Canadians
