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...

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.

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

Go nucks !

3-0 lead and Thomas clicking.... looks like a Cup and a Conn Smythe for Timmay!

BastardofYoung · 06-15-2011, 09:02 PM

yep... though cant say i am shocked, it is Vancouver.... they are just doing what they do best, getting to this point and blowing it.

Ahh, this is very disappointing. I'd like to see us at least put up a good fight for Game 7.

Congrats to Boston, it was a very exciting series. I can't wait for it to be October already. Go Sabres!

BastardofYoung · 06-15-2011, 09:51 PM

Yeah, that was good. Tim Thomas deserves the Con Smythe.
