Hope the Canucks win this tonight. Was going for the Mavs yesterday and that came off. Also got a grin on me face seeing Panama do US in at f00#8@11

[neko]

come on bruins - do it for sea bass (and ray bourque)

 

[Indian Red]

Arent you from/in Vancouver, catman? Why this Bruin love-in?

[Unrighteous]

He's a pussy, obviously. (hehe)

 

 

Anyway, Vancouver! I hope Vancouver win tonight... I am will be sad to miss the parade if the Canucks do manage to pull off a Stanley Cup!

[neko]

I grew up in the prairies, and the Bruins have always been my team.

 

Living in Vancouver doesn't change that, although if the Bruins were not in the cup, then for sure I'd be cheering for Vancouver.

 

I don't mind if the Canucks win - both teams deserve a cup Stanley.

 

I do also like to think I'm demonstrating fan loyalty - in a city not renowned for that quality.

[Unrighteous]

Vancouver is the land of transplants, Neko. I think if more people were born and raised on their club, then they'd be more loyal.

 

Most of them support their parents' team, the canucks, and whomever is winning... because hey... they support two already, and they like 'whatever'...

 

To be fair though: I'll go for any Canadian team (except Toronto) at this point. I'm just desperate for Canada to get a Stanley Cup. It means so much to the fans, and exception to teams like Philly, Boston... the US fans don't give a shit.

[Indian Red]

US fans dont give a shit about most things. Which is why I had a boss grin when Panama won

[DJLJ]

Canucks getting slaughtered here. 4 - 0 down after 13 mins and Luongo has already been substituted.

[Unrighteous]

How is it happening AGAIN?!

boston 19 vancouver 7

 

boston with the lead in the series 160:00 minutes

 

vancouver with the lead 33:00 minutes

 

boston three blowout wins / vancouver three one goal wins

 

luongo two shutouts / two games pulled

 

thomas one shutout / two power play goals in garbage time in three games at home.

 

yeah - anyone still want to argue that boston has been the second best team in this series ?

Boston has been the best team in Boston.

 

Vancouver has been the best team in Vancouver.

 

You can't argue against that. STOP TRYING!

 

Another blowout in Boston doesn't change this, Neko.

but everyone (including you) keeps saying that the bruins have been lucky to be in it.

 

i'm the one who has been arguing that vancouver has been lucky to have the series at 3-3.

 

the stats would seem to back up my analysis of the situation.

 

any of the three one goal games in vancouver had the potential to go either way with a lucky bounce....vancouver has been comprehensively beaten in all three games in boston.

[DJLJ]

Tim Thomas once again the best player of this game. Surely he has to get MVP no matter who wins the cup. Oh and I agree with Neko, Bruins deserves to win it based on their play so far, but lets see game 7. Not always the ones that deserve it that wins it.

brad marchant punching daniel sedin repeatedly in the face with absolutely no response.

 

like a little girl about to cry.

 

the bruins totally have the canucks by the balls.

Unfortunately, that's just an uncalled penalty, really.

 

51.1 Roughing – Roughing is a punching motion with the hand or fist, with or without the glove on the hand, normally directed at the head or face of an opponent.

 

The Bruins had the Canucks by the balls after their two blowouts in a row, however, Game 5 wasn't a story of the Bruins having the Canucks by the balls.

 

Either Luongo will blow it in game seven, like he did every game in Boston, or Thomas will need to pinch a shutout for the Bruins to win. It's the same story as it has been all series.p

tried to rep you for quoting the NHL rulebook.

 

i just want respect for my bruins. the canucks are a good team, but boston deserves this if you ask me....and i'm the one who lives in vancouver !

[Unrighteous]

Er... I'm from BC, Neko. Both teams deserve this Cup, that's why they're both here. Both have played well, and played poorly in the playoffs.

 

It's down to one game. One game that I really hope Vancouver wins...

 

Canada deserves the Cup more than Boston.

[Unrighteous]

I played, and was a dirty player, so I got called for 'roughing' a lot of times. It's amazing that it wasn't called there, because it was repeated.

 

One punch, you can always get away with one punch, but several? That's just ridiculous.

[neko]

question though - you're being punched repeatedly in the face by a player smaller than yourself, down by three goals with a few minutes to play. you do what...

 

a.) fight back as best you can and salvage some respect for yourself and your team

 

b.) look at the ref to call a penalty while the opponent continues to punch you in the face

boston has more canadian players than vancouver.

 

i get what you're saying, but does that really resonate with most educated fans ?

 

no, not really.

 

besides, as you already said, boston is a true hockey town.

The Sedins have never been 'fighters' or 'scrappy' or anything like that, so I would imagine them to do Option B.

 

Me? I would have done option C -- Thrash the little bugger.

[DJLJ]

Game 7 is close to starting. Hope the Bruins take the Stanley Cup.

[Unrighteous]

Absolutely fucking gutted. 2-0. Tim Thomas isn't going to suddenly surrender a bunch.

[neko]

ahhh....nice quiet night.

 

good night sleep, no honking of horns, or whooping and hollering on the streets.

Unless you live in Boston obviously. Knock on wood and all that.
