<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rather than write super wordy takes on current Canucks events, I’m gonna throw the world of sports and the world of poetry into a blender and write a series of haikus about a series of hockey related topics. Why? Because it&#8217;s the cup, and there is nothing more poetic than the beautiful grace, honourable sportsmanship and solemn dignity of the Stanley Cup Pla-</p>
<p>[View:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXIzgLygu8Y%5D" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXIzgLygu8Y%5D</a></p>
<p>Yeah, actually it&#8217;s been a lot of that.</p>
<div id="attachment_71984" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://postmediaprovince.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/hossa-stretcher.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-71984" title="Hossa stretcher" src="http://postmediaprovince.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/hossa-stretcher.jpg?w=460&#038;h=328" alt="" width="460" height="328" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(And a little of this)</p></div>
<p>For those of you who don’t know what a haiku is, it’s a short, three-line poem that follows a strict per line rule of 5 syllables, 7 syllable and then 5 syllables. For example:</p>
<p><em>These are haiku rules.</em></p>
<p><em>Each line, syllable count is</em></p>
<p><em>five, seven, five…k?</em></p>
<p>In the last week, The Canucks have dug themselves a giant hole, Daniel Sedin has made a heroic comeback and inspired the team (and his brother Henrik) and&#8230; something happened with our goalies. Not sure what, I just put in new drapes in my apartment, which is under a giant rock.</p>
<p>These are the Haiku Hat Tricks:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>&#8220;MUCH ADO ABOUT GOALIES&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p>1. Not Luongo’s fault.<br />
Desperate team, needed a change.<br />
Is Schneider the man?</p>
<p><strong><em>2. He’s younger, cheaper </em></strong>,<br />
<strong><em>has cool nickname (not just “Lu“)</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>“Red-headed stop child”</em></strong>.</p>
<p>3. Simple fact: he won.<br />
So I’ll start this crap early…<br />
We Want Eddie Lack!</p>
<div id="attachment_71985" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://postmediaprovince.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/eddie-lack-cory-schneider-canucks.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-71985" title="Eddie Lack Cory Schneider Canucks" src="http://postmediaprovince.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/eddie-lack-cory-schneider-canucks.jpg?w=460&#038;h=318" alt="" width="460" height="318" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(Got my &#34;76&#34; on order already. &#34;Schneider is so overrated!&#34; - Future morons)</p></div>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>&#8220;2 Sedins, Much Heart&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p>1. They’re sisters no more.<br />
Assuming haters grow up<br />
(will never happen).</p>
<p><strong><em>2. Daniel’s big return.</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Injects new life (and offence)</em></strong>.<br />
<strong><em>Both were needed bad.</em></strong></p>
<p>3. Henrik’s big response?<br />
Brown never saw this coming:<br />
A well placed b**** slap!</p>
<div id="attachment_71986" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://postmediaprovince.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/henrikslap.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-71986" title="Henrikslap" src="http://postmediaprovince.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/henrikslap.jpg?w=460&#038;h=264" alt="" width="460" height="264" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(Pictured: Dustin Brown not having all of Henrik Sedin's money)</p></div>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>&#8220;COMEBACK, TO THE FUTURE&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p>1. One versus eight? Pfft!<br />
Who do we want in round two&#8211;<br />
Down three games? Oh sh**.</p>
<p><em>2. Powerplay? Garbage</em>!<br />
<em>Edler looked like beer leaguer</em>.<br />
<em>Kesler just looked drunk</em>.</p>
<p>3. Game 4: got the win.<br />
Broom sales in LA plummet<br />
This? What we live for.</p>

<p><em>You can follow j.Bowman on twitter (<a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/jBowmancouver">@jBowmancouver</a>).</em><em> His use of hockey related poetry got him laughed at in High School. Now? Well he still gets laughed at for it, but he can finally grow a beard. So that&#8217;s something.<br />
