The end of a Canucks era and Sean Taylor's house

Though the news had come that the Canucks were not making playoffs already, there was still one last game to played in the season. Possibly the last game ever for long-time Canuck (and one of my personal favorites) Trevor Linden. So we gathered up the crew and headed over to Sean Taylor's house to watch the season finale.
Sean, Colin, Scott, Ken, Ritsy, Me.
Sean Taylor is one of those unique people whose name can not just be said as a single unit. His name is always Sean Taylor- not Sean or Mr. Taylor, Or Tails- (though he used to be known as Soul Patch for the little patch of hair growing under his lip)it has to be the full name Sean Taylor. Anyway, he has a nice cozy pad with a big tv and it was a great setting for a little bit of puck.
Late comers were Yurika, Carrie and Carl. We sat and watched as the Canucks had their butts kicked for the last game of the season. I stopped watching intently around the end of the first period.
Soon, Ken took over as most popular entertainer at the little party.
We also got to revisit some pizza from an old favorite dining establishment known as Double D's. The pizza was a little burnt and repeated on us a bit the next day, but delicious all the same and good to see the guys from the old restaurant!
The evening ended with the Canucks humiliated, but the fans gave a touching standing 'O' for the former captain and he waved thanks to the fans- classy player to the end!
