Vancouver Papers: Thailand Coups & Canuck Blues

province-cover-familyhockey.jpg
The Province was in fine form this morning. Not only do we get the charming human intrest vignette about the kids who were banned from playing hockey. The back of course is the Canucks first loss in Calgary last night 3-1. And better news a computer simulation shows the Canucks don't even make the playoffs this year, "the Canucks get good goaltending from Roberto Luongo, but are edged out of a playoff spot late in the season by the Colorado Avalanche."

The Sun fronts the coup in Thailand. Honestly all this talk about coups in Thailand is making want to b-line for Simply Thai. Until then there is a big article about Vij and his new cookbook. The other big front story is the investigation of in-custody deaths - 111 people have died in police custody since 2000. And I'm still scratching my head over both the tease for an article on the cover about ping pong and the idea of a ping pong college.

As usual 24 Hours has something completely un-newsy on the cover. Today is the unusual fundraiser that involves getting "hooked into a harness for a rewarding rappel down the side of a 16-story building in downtown Vancouver." Coup in Thailand? Whatever.
