A foray into the WHL Memorial Cup: Vancouver Giants 4- Whalers 3

Wow. The Pacific Coliseum is so nice and small. (I always thought coliseum was spelled with 2 "L"s) It's been awhile since I've caught a Giants game or gone to the PNE so I'd forgotten what it was like. Damn, did we ever have close seats. The final goal in OT was right in front of us too. Sweet.

The Memorial Cup Giants towels were longer than the Canucks ones. The crowd was so not as into it and only really got going when they won. It was somewhat bizarre. Kinda felt bad for the drummer guy who had a hard time getting the crowd going. The mascot, Jack, looked so unenthusiastic too. Hard to look enthusiastic when your face looks permanently sleepy I guess. Regardless, there was record attendance!
