Queen Elizabeth dropped the puck in a ceremonial face off yesterday at the Vancouver Canucks pre season game at GM Place in B.C.

Vancouver Canucks captain Markus Naslund scooped the puck up from the ice and handed it back to the Queen with a brief bow.

Donald Brashear then took the Queen out with dirty hip check :D

Shouldn't be long, especially since Prince Philip had a hyperbaric chamber installed at Buckingham Palace.

5-8 days after she gets back from the "road trip" max.

At a press conference after the ceremony, a U.S. reporter asked Mr. Gretzky why the Queen was important.

Stupid American reporter :D

Because it's the most powerful piece on the game board? We are talkin' about chess, right?
