Canucks Flasher Makes It Easier to Cheer for Vancouver

Let's face it, Vancouver is not the ideal city to represent Canada in the Stanley Cup finals, but it's all we Canadian hockey fans have left, so the beggars that we are, can't be choosers.

The city's image is that of Canada's Yuppie capital, a town where condos start at $750k and and where the words blue collar and Tim Horton's are dirty..

The infamous Green Men waving their arms at the opposition in skintight suits with their packages bulging, is enough to make real hockey fans cringe, but c'est la vie.
I don't want to use the word 'gay'  disparagingly,  but if ever there was a  word to define their antics...well.

I still choose to cheer for the team reluctantly, but I can say without any hesitation, aside from my beloved Canadiens, I'd rather see the Leafs, the Flames, Senators or Oilers represent our country in the finals before Van City (the worst nickname ever.)

But that all changed with an over-enthusiastic fan who may have single-handedly changed our perception of the city with a well-timed flash of her breasts in front of the Sharks Ben Eager, sitting in the penalty box.
Apparently the young lady was replacing the Green Men (mercifully) and got caught up in the moment.



Here's the video that the CBC inadvertently broadcast. NSFW



Go Canucks Go!..er...
