Day 83: And so to game 7

Tonight was game 6 of the Stanley Cup final and I figured it would be one of my last chances to get a photo of a couple of cup-themed modifications to local landmarks. For weeks the lions on the Lions Gate bridge have been decked out in Vancouver Canucks tops, only for them to go missing. Then the statue of Lord Stanley - the bloke for whom Stanley Park and the Stanley Cup are named - was given a Canucks jersey and a replica cup to hold aloft. Finally my favourite: the Girl in a Wetsuit sculpture on the Stanley Park seawall was dressed in yet another Canucks jersey :-) It was also a good excuse to bike down to Stanley Park and enjoy a leisurely evening ride around the seawall.

Vancouver could have won it tonight, but alas they did not. Now it's winner takes all in game 7 on Wednesday (day 85). This city is going to go nuts either way...
