WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO <gasp for breath> HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two goals in about 30 seconds. Oh my god. The entire city of Vancouver just went crazy I think. Hope it continues.

… I’d take my old Q&A staff over any other in a heartbeat. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go back to some random bitching…
