Dear Canucks fans
Don't worry. He's happier now. Because he just stepped out of a dressing room and onto a bench where Luc is sitting, waiting for him. Luc stands up to greet his old roomate and teammate. They both have full equipment on, and it looks like they are wearing Canucks jerseys - they seem a little blurry, but Rick sees that all of the players skating by have jerseys that are a little blurry too, as if the logo is there but not overly important. Luc, with a handful of arrows in his hand, offers Rick a stick. Now he can step out onto the ice. It's endless and he can skate and stickhandle and when he wants to pass, there is someone there to pass to, and when he wants to shoot, there is a net in front of him and when he drops his gloves, there is a keen and worthy opponent ready for a friendly scrap. The ice goes on forever and it's so smooth, it's as if a zamboni is always one stride ahead of him. And when he wants to take a break he can sit on the bench and look down upon the guys he played for, played with and played against. And he sits with Luc in hockey heaven as Luc catches arrows and Rick throws punches and it's the happiest place they've ever seen.
R3s7 in peace
Forever a Canuck
Forever in our hearts.
