Beating both @ralphintheridge.bsky.social and @harsunderhunjan.bsky.social to the proverbial punch tonight, I'm calling it early that Höglander scores the first Vancouver goal on his first regular season game in the lineup this season. You know it's true!

Flashback to 2013 and a time when The Keg was open at Hyack Square so I could order the baseball sirloin with a fully loaded baked potato and whatever other side veg they threw on the plate and enjoy it all without fear of the heart attacks that would get me in 2019

I'm told that @profanity.accountant lets me know whether Santa will cross me off the list this year..

Since I'm at the #VWFC watch party right now I'll just get my #Canucks pick for first goal in early .. it's gotta be DeBrusk. You know it's true!

Flashback to 1965 and a time when Cockney Kings was open in North Burnaby (but not in New West yet) so I could order their delicious cod and chips for $1.50.. guess what, they had a special promo today and I got it!

Flashback to never and a time when D Roti Shak was open on 12th Street so I could order and try the famous doubles from the man himself, but alas it is now closed and Shak is on his way back to Trinidad to enjoy his retirement

Good evening @harsunderhunjan.bsky.social and Canucks nation, to dispel any notion I might be a little slow on my first goal picks, I’m just putting it out there now that Reichel gets the first (and his first) goal for Vancouver tonight against Colorado. You know it’s true!

I appreciate that #NewWest is improving multiuse pathways with a focus on everyone's safety, but where do I fit in (roads?) as an electric unicycle rider who gears up, rides safely, and does the "yell/bell" thing? All the focus seems to ignore other PEVs.

Again, nobody asked, not even @harsunderhunjan.bsky.social , but Vancouver's first goal scorer tonight is going to be Pettersson.. the #40 one.
You know it's true!

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)
