Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!).
I couldn't resist going with an image from downtown last night after the hockey game. It's not every day that your hometown Vancouver Canucks earn a berth in the Stanley Cup Final - in fact, its only ever happened twice. Of course you already knew that, just like you know that the team was denied both times previously. Perhaps you also knew that Vancouver beat San Jose in double-overtime of Game 5 last night to advance to the Final - 17 years to the day since Greg Adams scored in double-overtime of Game 5 against Toronto for the chance to play the New York Rangers in 1994.
So downtown was a happening place as a result. I even checked it out myself, being curious and all. And of all the tinfoil Stanley Cups I saw, none were as aesthetically pleasing or appeared as structurally-sound as the one in Alison Faith's photo below. It even looks like almost the right size, and dude has a good hoist going on. Nice use of the free lighting; you know I always appreciate that. Just like I appreciate Alison getting this shot just milliseconds after the Canucks Winning.
So now we wait for Tampa Bay and Boston to finish the Eastern Conference Finals. Take all the time you need, we'll just wait here.
