Bruins/Canucks- Stanley Cup Thread!

[good2hook]

Bruins in 6.
Vancouver comes out like gang busters early in game 1, once Boston settles in they run away with the game. Final 6-2.

Game 2 Vancouver wins 4-2, empty net goal.
Game 3 Boston wins 2-0
Game 4 Boston wins 4-3
Game 5 Vancouver wins 5-2
Game 6 Boston hoists their first Stanley Cup since '72
4-1, the final.

Tim Thomas wins' the Conn Smythe.
Bank on it.

The two big keys for the Bruins to win this series....

1.) obviously stay out of the penalty box. The Vancouver PP is incredible. The Bruins can play 5-5 with anybody in the league.

2.) Match-ups. Chara and Seidenberg on against the Sedins as much as possible and the Bergeron line against the Kessler line.

Then pray timmy Thomas stands on his head.

Bruins in 6.

Gonna be a lot of fun to watch this series. I think it is difficult to predict how it will go but am confident there will be no sweep by either team. fffing Barry Melrose picked the canucks in 4! A-hole!

Hopefully the B's will be flying home with at least a split. Despite all the offensive stars on the ice it will come down to defense and goal tending.

Is it 8 O'Clock yet?

WTF- he was offsides!

What a game. Thomas stood on his head but Luongo made some superb saves. Gotta get the split on Saturday night.

Exactly!
In the replay of the player crossing the line, the official that waived the offsides was facing the goal. He wasn't watching the line, and yet he made the call? I think that the B's thought he was offsides as well, but I guess you can't criticize the officiating, particularly when they allowed Vancouver to throw a few face jabs with no warnings.

Who dis they pick as commentators for the game?
It was almost as bad as listening to Joe Buck do a baseball game or Brent Musberger do anything!

I guess we'll just have to beat them at their own game on Sat.

I was almost certain he was off sides but he wasn't as you can see. Pretty lucky toe drag to keep it alive and good eye by the linesman if he did see that.

I thought the Bruins outplayed the Nucks but they seem to come hard towards the end and the Bruins starting playing defense as if they were protecting a lead. Only problem was they didn't have the lead.

Thomas wanted it and deserved the win.

Alright, we got them right where we want them, down 2-0.


That cocky bastage Borrows should not have been playing.

Bruins will take the next two.
