I have missed out on a lot of Canucks related stories! We arrived in Dar Es Salaam on Wednesday morning, the Canucks game was just going into over time when we touched down. We were sitting in traffic on a dirt road when someone got a text that said Burrows scored in over time. I yelled and screamed and very appropriately saw some goats on the side of the road (amongst other animals). Even though round 2 has already started I am still just so happy that the Canucks beat Chicago. Scoring in over time never gets old. Kind of like buying a goat. It is great to see the goat-o-meter rising! If you’re like me, you were a little shaken up after the game 6 loss to Chicago. Now that the Canucks have moved on past the Hawks it’s time to get into the full swing of goat buying.

Someone emailed and asked what’s so good about a goat. A reasonable question. On top of being beautiful animals, goats can provide milk to families who receive one. Also, not only do goats and playoff goatees, like the one Dan Hamhuis has, go well together, but a goat can be a life-changing addition to a family in need. Goats are great animals for poor farmers. They’re easy to care for and will eat almost anything. They can be kept in a small yard, and are strong and hardy. In addition, goats breed after just a few years, providing additional goats for the family and community.
Goats also provide the family with a number of benefits. Baby and adult goats can be sold for income, the meat can be eaten, and the milk can be a nutritious source of calcium and protein for the family. The bottom line is: Goats are great.

I was confident at the beginning of the playoffs that the Canucks would not lose a single game in the playoffs so it’s nice to see that things are going according to plan so far. To make things even better my beard is coming in just great! It’s not quite on the level as some goats I’ve seen with beards, or “tassels” as we call them in the goat world, but I’m quite proud.

This morning the News 1130 website put up a story about Goat Canucks Goat. Let’s get some goats!!

“Goat Canucks Goat” is back

As the Vancouver Canucks continue on their playoff run, you can also donate to a worthy cause

Lara Fominoff Apr 19, 2011 05:05:01 AM

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Once again this year, you can not only support the Vancouver Canucks by watching their games, but you can also do something good for someone less fortunate.

“Goat Canucks Goat” is back after becoming a Vancouver tradition.

The group started by Joel Nagtegaal several years ago is up and running again as the team makes their playoff run.

He says they hope to “campaign to encourage people to buy one goat for every Canucks victory in the playoffs, or for, if you can’t afford it for each victory… for each round that the Canucks win in the playoffs.”

So far, they have enough for 14 goats at $35.00 each.

He wasn’t even going to get it going this year, but after nearly two dozen emails, he thought he’d put the site up once again.

And all the goats are bought locally. In the last several years, two thousand goats have been bought and donated to needy families in Kenya.

The punks drops at 5:00pm PST. The last few minutes of game 2 were a little nerve racking but I’m happy the Canucks were able to hold on for the victory.

Perhaps even more exciting news is the fact that my beard is finally showing signs of life! After a challenging first week I am happy to report that I counted 8 more beard hairs that weren’t there last year. This brings the total to 62 strands of facial hair. It can be tiring trying to grow a beard, study for exams and cheer on the Canucks all at once but so far I have been up for the challenge.

Goat Canucks Goat!
