I did know this, but I don't think it's a carefully controlled output by the Canucks.

Get of the wagon, you chump. He obviously hasnt played well whatsoever in Boston, but he has 2 shutouts this series, hes been a huge part of this run all season long to win the president's trophy. You probably didnt watch a game before the playoffs though.

You'd be much more becoming with a sense of humour.

Its not so much you thats getting to me, but the hundreds of people I have to hear about everyday who jump on the bandwagon when we play well, and throw Lou under the bus when things dont go so well.

Fair enough, honestly. I'm just having a bit of fun with my banter at his expense, and I can see how that would frustrate you. I'll cease.

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.

When you're coming into a game down 4-0, 6-1, 3-0, you're facing a very hot opponent and being asked to hold things down. Schneider is a future starter, not sure where yet...

And Timmy Thomas is essentially god this series.

And coulda, shoulda, woulda's never matter in the postseason. I agree with Laces Out, it doesn't matter what the score is what matters is wins. Being opportunistic is a good thing in the playoffs, especially against a goalie like Thomas who you have to take advantage of every small window against. Even outscoring Vancouver 30-6 or whatever it is doesn't even necessarily mean you've dominated the series when it's tied 3-3, it means you've dominated a few wins and haven't been able to do all that is necessary to win the rest.

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.
