Way to back up your words Luongo. Typical Canuck.

I wanna know how this hit is clean compared to Rome's hit. Rome was clearly suspended for his hit, because it was late and because the player was injured.

Look how far along the puck has already gotten by the time Boychuk drives Raymond into the boards...Kes gets the puck and has a shot before Raymond even hits the boards...Raymond is left with a Vertabrae compression fracture. Out 3-4 months.

Ive had no problem to be honest with Bostons Fans or Players in this series...but when the fines start chanting "Diver, Diver" and Raymond lays on the ice...what disrespect. And then instead of clapping when he finally gets up and is helped to the bench, they start chanting "We want the cup". I have a problem with that, Id say we handled the Hornton hit with a lot more respect.

How was this even comparable? Raymond's actually one of the only Canucks I actually respect and it's incredibly unfortunate with the way he got tangled up but how do you "drive someone into the boards" at like a mile an hour? It's a freak accident.

I can't speak for the Bruins fans at the Garden but what would you expect would happen if that Horton hit happened in Vancouver? And the way the Canucks handled the Horton hit was to bitch about the suspension and Rome saying that he'd make the same hit again.

Tonights the night. Vancouver gets to hoist on home ice. Not really sure who wins the Conn Smythe, but Thomas even if Boston loses would be a good pick. Should be a fantastic game and hard hitting and physical. Guessing someone is gonna drop the gloves tonight. Been a very good series and this game should be no exception.

BastardofYoung · 06-15-2011, 01:55 PM

well... we will see tonite if that is true. I think the best thing for them in this game is get an early goal, and defense, defense, defense... don't try and be hot shots, get a goal and keep it on the score board... if you get a set up though, take it and go with it. But Vancouver needs to defend hard and not give Boston a lot of time in their zone, keep the puck away from Luongo as much as possible... and not go crazy on penaties, the less time in the box the better.

If they can do that and do it well, they have a very good chance.... or else, it will just be 1994 all over again.

It should be a good game, but I'm thinking Boston for the cup. Not only have they shown more consistency this series, in my own opinion they have a better bunch of players. And I wont be able to stand all the Canadian pride bull**** if the 'nucks win...

Last line change. I disagree, i'm going Vancouver by a score of 4-1. Tonight they will have their way with Boston.

BastardofYoung · 06-15-2011, 02:02 PM

Yeah, i had a friend get mad at me for saying how i can't stand the armchair patroitism of some people. As I said to him "We are not talking about a war here, we are talking about a couple of sports teams, cheering for Boston is not turning your back on Canada anymore than eatting at Burger King is turning your back on McDonalds".

But you know, that is just fandom at it's extremes.

As I say for Vancouver, Game time at 6, riot on at about 9. Bring your pepper spray if you are in downtown vancouver after the game.

BastardofYoung · 06-15-2011, 06:21 PM

here we go, the big one ! no matter what happens, it has been a great series and Vancouver at least got this far !

Go nucks !
