n breaking news today, the

Vancouver Canucks, for the first time in the club’s existence, have won the Stanley Cup playoffs!

In an intriguing and unprecedented game seven against the Ottawa Senators, Henrik Sedin scored the game winner in a record-setting seventh overtime.

Henrik, renowned for his shoot-first pass-second philosophy, snapshotted the cup- winning tally past Senators’ goalie Andrew Hammond point blank—

: open at the other side of the net : calling for the pass.

Stranger still, it seems that

: at the very moment the puck

: went across that line and the red : goal light was set ablaze, a “chain : reaction” of events began in the

Within minutes a bleak and

Farmers and petting zoo

[° a statement released yesterday, 20-year-old Douglas College student Jack Dawson spoke out about a common misconception that has haunted him his whole life.

“I know what people think

when they see me hanging out at :

: the library, working away—but : I want people to know that I’m : actually a very cool guy with a

: fun personality.

“I just have a lot of money

from working all the time, and : I’m getting pretty good grades : from all the studying.

“Just because I’m not

STUDENT

» Absent group member wanted dead

or alive

Chandler Walter Distribution Manager

young Douglas College

student has gone missing recently, leaving his Geography group fearing the worst.

Allen Zacarias Wong was last seen shortly after Tuesday’s class the week prior, and has since been seemingly wiped off the face of the earth.

“He hasn’t responded to texts or emails, we might even have to try calling him

eventually,” says Allen’s group

mate, Will Thurrows.

An amber alert has been put out at both campuses, with group searches and candle-lit vigils being held throughout the week.

Although Allan has been absent for the past two classes, his group mates still remain hopeful, and held a

press conference earlier in the :

week to bring awareness to the situation. “We will not even

consider that the worst might :

have happened. That our poor, poor little Al-pal could have... might have... dropped out of the class.” Thurrows said through tears.

The plight of the group : is especially urgent, as Allan : was the one designated with : creating the PowerPoint : presentation, and all of its : content. “We honestly don’t care : about finding him alive or : dead, as long as he has a : completed USB clutched in : his cold little fingers.” : The assignment is due : in a week, and the group is : urging all Douglas College : students to be on the : lookout. They are offering a reward of a May U-Pass anda : used Geography textbook to :; anyone with information that : might lead to the rediscovery : of their lost group mate. : We have been informed : that he will respond to Allen, : or Mr, Wong, yet does not : take kindly to Allayn, Al, : Willy Wong-ka, Al-Pal, The : Alanator, or Al-igator. The search continues, : and our thoughts and : prayers are with Allan and : his brave group mates, who : have managed, even under : these dire circumstances, to : not actually get any of the : assignment done themselves. : A true example of college : perseverance.
