Bum Bum Bum
Well, bum bum bum!
The Oilers lost on Monday night - the final score was 3-1 to the Hurricanes, but it was close right up to the end. We watched it here at home and it was nail-biting stuff. The score would have been 1-1 in the third period except for a shot which was deflected into the goal off one of the Edmonton players' bums! So the Carolina Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup after all, but the Oilers at least have the consolation of being the first team since 1948 to come back from 3-1 down to level the series at 3-3. Maybe next year!
In other news, we're having a busy time of it right now, getting ready to move tomorrow. I also had to drive to Edmonton and back today (6 hours in the car) to clear our container through Customs. It only took about 5 minutes to do the paperwork and then it was back south again! Sigh. And then we had a nice farewell dinner with Dr Temple.
More updates tomorrow when the packers are here,
Love

PS Don't they say that moving house is one of the most stressful things in a lifetime? We've spent a lot of time organising and planning this, but watch this space...

Hi Jon. I am pleased to send you my deepest sympathy over the loss of the Edmonton Oilers to our Carolina Hurricanes! You put a scare into us, but in the end we prevailed in a well-fought Stanley Cup final. Congrats to the Oilers for coming back from a 3-1 deficit to force a seventh game. Well played!
All the best during your move from Calgary. Yes, moving IS such a pain. Happy trails to Paula and you.
