| Queen to drop puck in Vancouver Long time hockey fan miffed Vancouver � When Queen Elizabeth drops a ceremonial puck at a Vancouver Canuck�s hockey game on Sunday as part of her Jubilee celebration; it will leave a foul taste in the mouth of Her fellow countryman, Peter �Puck� Moore of Nottingham. �Bloody Hell,� Moore exclaimed when told of HRH�s unique event. �When I saw my first game six years ago, I wasn�t allowed to drop a puck!� In fact, this will be the Queen�s third visit to a hockey game but the first as Queen. She watched two games in 1951 when she was but a wee Princess. �Princess, my hairy ass,� Moore continued to vent. �I suppose Wayne Gretzky and Cassie Campbell, who I met once, great girl, did I tell you, will be there also!� This reporter did not have the heart to acknowledge the accuracy of his prediction. �I suspect I was overlooked because I went to my first game in Montreal and you know those Froggies don�t care much for Brits. Not since we kicked their arses at Quebec City. I also have attended matches in Detroit and Buffalo and never asked to perform that duty but everybody knows that Yanks don�t care much for Brits either,� Moore added as if beginning to realise a connection. Moore promises to seek satisfaction. �I own my own puck. I�m going to practise dropping it and then write to my little Irish friend at the Air Canada Centre (ACC) and request that I get to do the honours at a Leafs� game.� A spokesman at ACC refused to even consider the request for a comment on the likelihood of Moore being granted his demand. |
