Day 6 in Cali (March 5, 2011) - Canucks at LA


It was a start of an exciting weekend. We were about to head to our first out of two hockey games. It was Canucks vs LA at the Staples Center in LA. It was an hour ride to LA from my sister's place. After we parked, we saw some Canucks fans walking towards the stadium. We knew where they were heading so we just followed them to the stadium. We thought that's cool to see some Canucks fans. When we got to the entrance, there were so many Canucks fans. There must have been about 50 - 100 of them. They were standing at the entrance. I'm not sure if they were waiting for something or just felt like standing there. Then being as patriotic as they are, they started to sing O Canada. There were bus loads of Canucks fans coming to the game. Inside the stadium, there were so many more Canucks fans. I would say there were at least 60% of the fans were Canuck fans.

The highlight of the game wasn't when the Canucks won the game, it was when we realized Cory Monteith was at the game. It was Alex Burrows fault. A LA guy hit Alex Burrows against the board and there was only a glimpse of Cory was on the jumbo tron. Because of that split second, the many Glee fans went wild and tried to get their autographs and pictures during the intermission. It ended up being a few cast members from Glee had front row seats to watch the game. There were six of them. You won't probably guess who this is a picture of. This is the closest picture I can get of them. It is Cory Monteith and 'Brittany' from Glee.


After the excitement of winning the game and seeing cast members of Glee, we did the touristy thing. We went to Mann's Chinese Theatre. It was neat to see the walk of fame and the imprints of their hands and feet.


There was a new mall across the street from the theatre. There were lots of shops and restaurants. And we can also see the Hollywood sign!!
