The Canucks get crushed

The Canucks did not have very much skill as they played Chicago in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  Chicago must have been practicing really hard because they beet the Canucks twice in a row!  The first time they beet the Canucks the score was 7-2 the second time they beet them the score was 5-0.  I don't mean to be mean to you Luongo but you are the absolute worst goaltender in the world.  My advice to your coach is to put your buddy Cory in net from start to finish, unless he was as bad as you were, Luongo.  Also, I think that we need to start getting less penaltys and more power plays.  Players like Torres, Bieksa, and Glass should try not to be as aggrssiave.  Last but not least, I think are defenders such as Edler, Erhoff, or Bieksa need to work on passing the puck up to their offenders at center.  I think this because the Canucks are having trouble clearing the puck while the Black Hawks are on a power play.  If you are a fan and care for the Canucks help them and tell the owners what they need to work on.

Spring Break

Over spring break I did many things.  To me I think the most interesting thing I did on Spring Break was go to Palm Springs.  The day we got there me and my sister Grace got signed up for tennis lessons.  We did our tennis lessons on court four(there are very many.) As soon as we started we met our coach.  Her name was Katie.  She's a really good tennis player!  Since I'm a beginner so she was a big help!  She taught me pretty much everything I need to know to get a good start at tennis.  She taught me the rules, the for hand, the back hand how to hit balls at the net and many other things.  Since we were doing a lot of tennis over the week we decided that we should go to a tennis show.  The tennis show was about 45 minutes long.  All the staff that worked at the tennis courts put together very funny tennis skits.  My favorite skit that the staff put together was my teacher, Katie hitting balls really hard.  She hit the balls so hard that some of the balls went over the fence!  I think that one of the reasons I liked it so much was that they taught you things and gave you advice while doing funny things.  One of the last things I did while I was in Palm Springs was go to Disneyland. 


 We stayed in a hotel called the Grand California.  One of the things that was cool about the hotel was that it was inside the park.  When I say 'inside' I  mean it, you could literally step outside the door and you'd be inside the Disneyland park!  My favorite ride I went on was California Screamer. Even though I wanted to stay on vacation and keep relaxing I knew that I had had enough.
