So is Alain Vigneault going to call out Jannick Hansen for the stick slap on Krejci since he made such a big deal about Peverley doing it to Bieksa or is it okay this time around? My guess is he won't bring it up on his own unlike before.

I love how Boston's coach said Lapierre was classless for his finger taunt and two of his own players do the same thing.

Series just got interesting, still not worried.

Coincidentally enough, this is the 25th year anniversary that the B's raped the Nucks for Dennis Pederson in exchange for Cam Mother Fuckin Neely AAAAND Glen Wesley.

Worst trade in Nucks history.

If the Nucks ever make a worse trade than that, Im actually going to watch Brazilian beach volleyball instead of just fapping to it.

Especially Recchi...who has been playing longer than a lot of posters here have been alive.

Does anyone remember Lemieux, Recchi, Stevens? (Kevin fu'n who?)

They would take Getzlaff Perry Ryan to school anyday.

He was a young future star...

He's been a legend ever since. To see him resort to such antics is a crying shame.

You're not going to see the Nucks play any worse...you're a dick if you think otherwise.

You're not going to see the B's play any better...

Gmae 4 is going to be FUCKIN HUGE. If the Nucks come out with the split...it's game over.

If the B's come out on top, it's a best of 3 series with the B's in control with all of the momentum.

I think it's a little different but it's a moot point. Recchi claimed ignorance to the comments but Julien chewed them out for it apparently so I'm hoping the matter will be but to bed. Doubtful with all the puns made by the media, though.

After the game 3-0...it was over. Doesnt really matter what the final score was. All running the goal up does is piss the Nucks off...do you really want a pissed off Nucks team on your doorstep?

It's a bit interesting to note how people completely wrote the Bruins off yet it took the Canucks 59+ minutes for them to score a goal in game 1 and they had to come from behind and then score in OT to win in game 2. And now when the Bruins rout the Canucks they blew their load and it's going to be all Vancouver for the next few games.

KK, can you please explain to me what Daniel Sedin was doing on the collision with Andrew Ference? If you don't recall, the hit/post-whistle scuffle resulted in game misconducts for both. It was a shoulder to shoulder hit (clean) and Sedin went down clutching his face...then he went after Ference. Why? Enlighten me please.

This series is entirely up to Thomas.

If the B's win, it's because he's superman.

If the B's lose, it's because he's human.

Game 1 was owned by the Nucks, the only reason it came down to 19 seconds was because of Thomas.

Game 3 was owned by the B's...because they were motivated by the Horton hit, and no one from the Nucks responded.

Nucks will respond next game...guaranteed. You better home old man Thomas doesnt take a nap.

You've already seen the worst your enemy is going to display.

Your enemy is without its (arguably) best dman.

Your team played the best its going to play.

You're team is still down 2-1 in the series, and has to win 1 on the road.

Nucks are awesome at home...and have home ice advantage.

You're not worried? Must be some good (Canadian made) pharmaceuticals you're on.

The Bruins have (at the very least) held their own against the top team in the NHL - on the road, at that. I think you're mistaking my desire to see the Bruins receive more recognition & credit for some sort of belief that the Canucks will get blown out.

Bruins have held there own...all credit due.

I said at the beginning of the playoffs, no team worried me more than the Bruins. Thomas is amazing, he's a Roy, he's a Hasek.

He can win, even when the rest of the team is outmatched, outclassed, and out played.

I am actually a huge Thomas fan. He didn't make it big until after he was over 30. It's not technical, it's not pretty...but it works.

If...and thats a big IF the Bruins win, its only because of Thomas(no disrespect to Rask, because he is a fine goalie who deserves a #1 chance...) Bruins are a good team, with a great goalie.

As will have the Nucks.

Both teams have had successful years, both teams have hungry fans and hungrier teams that deserve to raise the best trophy in all of sports...

I know I talked a lot of (drunken) shit after game 1....but in all honesty, Nucks, Habs, Bruins...those are my teams....

I hope for an exciting Stanley cup final. I hope the best team wins.

Tonight, the Bruins won, they were the better team, they earned, they deserved it.

Sean

Yes the Bruins are a good team with a great goalie. I don't understand why you don't think I realize this.

Drew blood...maybe...on a pinky finger?

We've seen Kesler and St Louis have teeth knocked out...and continue to play...

Ypu're going to claim a pinched pinky was anything other than a BHASTIN media scapegoat?Their teeth were knocked out due to hockey, it's part of the game. Bergeron's finger was bitten. And he continued to play so I don't see the relevance but whatever.

People put far too much emphasis on the biting yes. The same people who cheered for Horton's ECF game 7 winner were the first to cry foul that Burrows was playing. I don't care about the biting anymore. I think the way Vancouver was dicking around about it was stupid but that was game 2.

I actually don't know why you brought it up. Maybe Bergeron overreacted but it was a legitimate occurrence as opposed to Sedin pretending to get hit in the face to draw a penalty which you equated it to. I don't think they're at all comparable.

Are you trying to say Boston has never over exaggerated a particular play?

It's called embellishing.

I don;t necessarily agree with it, but it is what it is is. It is a part of hockey. It goes both ways, and if a player does it it too often, they get branded....you know what happened to the boy who cried wolf too often.

However this is the finals. Players will do whatever they can...WHATEVER they can, in order to gain an edge. It's not just Sedin, Its not just the Nucks. It's both teams. You'd be a fool to think otherwise.

Again, I am not condoning it, I merely stating the facts.

The finals is not just about skill...it is about comprehension.

Whoever wins this series played the game better. Simple as that

Sean
06-07-2011, 01:23 AM
No, I'm not at all saying that. Thomas had quite the dive in game 1 to draw a penalty, we're guilty too. I think it's just a bit embarrassing that he was so blatant about it because there's a difference between a stick grazing you/reacting like it was a sledgehammer and not even being touched in the head/acting like you were shanked across the eye. A little realism maybe?

...

Just came across an interesting stat. The Bruins are the third team to score eight goals in a game in the SCF. The other two teams were the '91 Pens & the '96 Aves.

KleptoKlown
06-07-2011, 01:34 AM
All those stats don;t mean shit, any team...every team can be the exception.

The dives...emmbarassing, yes

unneeded...absofuckinlutley. They drive me nuts...no matter what the team. Sedin, Thomas in this series...whoever else the previous series, and some new guys in game 4. Like it or not, it's part of the game. I will admit its part of the (cheap) game the Nucks are better at.

Take it out of the game, I wont complain. Nucks are better than that, they are elite without having to resort to that.

I was against Shawn Thornton starting over Tyler Seguin at first, but I forgot that he's the vocal leader of the Bruins and his presence on the ice sparked some more life into the team. I haven't seen the Bruins get into a goalie's head that badly in a long time, and this was Roberto Luongo.

Horton has a severe concussion and is done for the season to no one's surprise. Hopefully it doesn't affect him next year, don't want another Savard.

Stickman
06-07-2011, 08:45 PM
4 games was really excessive. Eager's hit on Sedin was way way worse and he got nothing. I think the call on the ice was the right call and if you feel the need to suspend no more than one game. I'd say that if the roles were reversed. 4 was too much.

Stickman
06-07-2011, 08:49 PM
The league outright said that the severity of the hit was a big reason for the suspension. If that's true, why didn't Chara get anything for his hit on that Montreal guy? Both were hockey plays, neither guy went out of his way to hurt anybody, but this is 4 games?Stupid. My problem is the lack of consistency by the league.

Bullshit. He went out of his way to hit him in the head. It would have been easier for him to go for the torso. So, intentional blow to the head which could have been prevented. Playing like a goon got him suspended 4 games not the intent of the injury.

Because this is the first suspension dispensed since Douchebag Campbell stepped down, so nothing prior to this matters. It's this point forward that matters.

"Two factors were considered in reaching this decision," said NHL senior vice president of hockey operations Mike Murphy in a statement. "The hit by Rome was clearly beyond what is acceptable in terms of how late it was delivered after Horton had released the puck and it caused a significant injury."

2 Factors...late hit...significant injury.

Right from the mouth of the guy who handed down the suspension.

The only reason Mike Murphy was handling this instead of Colin Campbell is because of Gregory Campbell.

If I remember right, Brendan Shanahan is taking over next year, and it may even be by committee instead of 1 person deciding on suspensions.

Excellent game from the Bruins tonight. This is a great position to be in going into game 5, hopefully we can steal that one and come back to Boston with three wins.

And yes, I thought Marchand's actions at the end of the game were pretty bush league but I couldn't help but laugh at Ehrhoff being completely fine with being the second man in but wanting no part of Darth Quaider. Turtled like a motherfucker.

Flyers might have a bonafide starter for the first time in 20 years if they can agree to something with Bryzgalov.If they have the money to sign him. They only have $450(ish)k in cap room right now.

Send a plugger in like Glass and take a run at Thomas when he's out of his crease(IE 90% of the game)

Run him fast, run him hard....just make sure he's out of his crease.

Nucks can beat the Bruins, but they can't beat Thomas.

Home team has won every game so far, which would obviously favour the Nucks...

First 2 games...Lou was lights out. He matched Thomas save for save.

Last games...Stevie Wonder could have done a better job.

Game 3, the whole Nucks team sucked...everyone. Lou didnt even play bad despite the 8 goals(how often can you say that?)

Game 4, he was shit. shit. shit. Nucks didnt play any better either.

Maybe I am not giving the Bruins enough credit, but these last 2 games...there is no way they are THAT much better. You have to give the Bruins credit, they've upped their game. But in the same breath, the Nucks have turtled. Where the fuck the Kesler? Hamhius with a knee injury? Fuck you Hamhius, suck it up, this is the grand daddy. Injuries don't matter...concussions aside, as brain injuries are a different devil...You have all summer to ice your knee. Steve Yzerman would chop off one of his legs, beat you to death with it, and still lift the cup.

The 94 Nucks had heart, the were far and away the less talented team...but they wanted it, McLean, Bure, Linden...not hall of famers, but during that year, they were f'n Supermen.

This finals so far? Haven't seen an ounce of heart from Kesler, Sedin's, Luongo, or Bieska.

Burrows has been an exception...but thats about it.

The two rules of playoff hockey: don't overreact to one game and you're not in trouble until you lose at home.I hate that saying. If the Bruins win all their home games and lose all four on the road what good did it do?

That saying only applies to the team with home field/ice advantage or else it would never make sense to apply it to both teams in a series because the lower seed/record don't get enough home games to prove the saying.

If Lou has another bad game, the Nucks fans are going to hunt him down.

I understand that none of the Nucks has good games the last 2 in Boston(you're not going to win many games scoring 1 goal in 2 games) but your goalie has to be your best player. It seemed to suck the life out of the team when Lou let in those bad goals. If Lou was playing better, the rest if the team would have been too. If your goalie isn't getting it done, the team is done. Same a football, if you QB is doing shitty, chances are slim you're going to win.

Lou's 3 goals were all shit goals. Boston did the right thing by just putting the puck on the net. The 2 goals Schiender let in were not his fault. The first was a perfect tip, the 2nd was on a 5-3.

Raymond is out 4 months with a compressed vertebrae...on an interference play from Boychuk. Yet no penalty or review from the league. Murphy has already set a standard that the significance of the injury is a factor in a suspension...Consistently inconsistent.

Emperor Smeat
06-14-2011, 04:47 PM

Not really the point. The league should have still gone through the procedures of having a meeting with Boychuk, and reviewing the play with him.

I don't even think it was a suspension worthy hit, just bad luck as Raymond went into the board awkwardly.

Just the fact that Murphy said just last week that the severity of the injury is a factor in deciding a suspension(agree with it or not, it's what he said) then he doesn't even acknowledge this hit. Makes him look like a fucking douchebag hypocrite.

Media is Van is going apeshit over this, calling conspiracy theories and the whole 9 yards.

I won't use the refs as an excuse, because Vancouver didn't deserve to win game 3,4,6. I just don't understand why they let that post whistle shit go on. Regular season, there would be penalties left right and center. All the refs needed to do was call one, maybe 2 penalties in those post whistle scrums, and they would have stopped, or at least been less obvious.

This has been a great finals.

Win or lose, we have witnessed a final unlike any other since this "next generation" of hockey has occurred.

The biting, the physical play, the genuine hatred for each city(Cam Neely is still the man...Comox represent) the trash talk, and the fact that each game has either been a blowout or an edge of you seat, grow some grey hair nail biters.

Probably because I am biased, but this has been the best final I can remember in years.

If the Bruins win, it's because of Thomas

If the Nucks win, it's because of Lou...and despite of him.

Stickman
06-15-2011, 01:57 AM
Just to go back to this hit on Raymond, it was late, out of the play in a vulnerable position, unnecessary and caused serious injury. Sounds a lot like Rome's hit yet there wasn't even a review? Come on.

Secondly, the league officials sat down with both GMs and Coaches and said they will call the after the whistle stuff, what happened? Nothing.

Last night, Thomas spears I think Daniel (might have been Burrows) in the nuts after the whistle behind the net. No call whatsover.

Henrik gets mugged by Chara and they both get penalties and Henrik gets a diving call? If you've followed the Sedins for the past 10 years or whatever since they came in the league you would know they don't dive. They don't. They'll stand there and get punched repeatedly in the face, as they showed last game, but they don't dive. Looking solely at the play, how can you say Henrik dove?
Burrows, Lapierre, Kesler dive or flip their heads back? Yes they do.

I"m not buying into the conspiracy theories, I'm not whining, I'm just pointing out facts. The officiating in this series have been the worst I've seen in years, absolutely garbage and I think it's because the refs are afraid to make the calls that they called in the regular season, round 1, 2 and 3 but for some reason don't. A penalty is a penalty is a penalty.

As somebody said earlier, this league is consistently inconsistent.

Game 7, Stanley Cup finals tomorrow. Doesn't get any better than this and here's to a good, well officiated game regardless of who wins.

If Lou plays like he did in the Boston games...he's going to get run out of town. Maybe he will be the backup for the next 10 years if no one else wants him.

If the refs call game 7 like they've called the last 6...I don't know what's going to happen, but buildings will burn, and Buttman will have a bullseye on his head.

Emperor Smeat
06-15-2011, 05:15 PM
The one thing I find amazing about this series is this will be the first time the Bruins have ever played a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup after being in it 17-18 times before.

Of course most of the time they faced off against the Canadiens and lost badly but surprised they've never played a 7th game considering how old the team is (second oldest US team but oldest since 1924) and the amount of times they've played for the title.

Vancouver might have the longer Cup drought but they've also played fewer Cup games and already have a Game 7 in their history in comparison to Boston.

One of the worse officiated playoffs of recent memory. Tired to American teams winning, but atleast it's a city that will semi-appreciate it.

Still, this Bruins team has to be the worst team to win the cup in the last 10 years.

Oh by the way, the rioting was started by guys who planned on rioting, NOT Canuck fans. A bunch of the people arrested were from out of town who were actually black listed during the Olympics. A lot of these same people were at the G20 riots.

Guys came into the downtown core with googles, fire starters, weapons and other stuff. This was planned. There were people with signs saying "Riot 2011" on it.

These were NOT Canuck fans. As the riot started that's when the drunken idiots get involved so I don't completely blame those losers. It's a black eye on the city for sure, but you know what, Vancouver came together as people to clean up the mess and speak out for the fact that that was not Vancouver that the world saw rioting.

A lot of the rioters were teenagers and early 20somethings. A lot of people had turned their children, boyfriends, friends ect into the police. They're going to charge every last one of the losers.

Injured Canucks playing hurt in the finals:

Kesler, hip
H. Sedin, back
Edler, shoulder
Hamhuis, torn abdominal
Erhoff, 2 broken fingers
Higgins, fractured foot bone
Beiksa, bruised MCL
Raymond, broken back
Samuelsson, didn't even suit up.

A couple of the Bruins said their game plan all along was to go after the Canucks hard knowing that the Canucks were more banged up. Not using injuries as excusses, but it's hard to ignore. Goes to show how hard that holy grail is to win.

The ratings for Game 7 are showing that even though there was just 1 US team in the finals, the game got its highest rating in 37 years for both a Game 7 and any other Stanley Cup game. 4th largest rating when regular season is added in since 1973 as well.

Already higher ratings in New England than both Celtics NBA Finals games and the parade crowd size is either reported as being the largest or 2nd largest after the 2004 Red Sox parade.

The funny part is some sports radio show in New England tried to say that nobody really cared about hockey and that the other teams are more popular in the area but the ratings and the parade size completely discredit that notion.

Sean
06-18-2011, 06:40 PM
I just got back from the parade & it's now being billed as the largest.

WEEI is a joke; they handed out cards for the parade but I threw mine out the second I realized where it came from since they disrespected hockey fans until they were forced to acknowledge them. Thank fuck the Sports Hub saved sports radio in this town.

So who's ready for the draft this week? I'm pretty excited to see where my boy Jamie Oleksiak is going. Wherever it is (please not Montreal or Toronto), I just hope they let him come back here and not request that he play major juniors.

Yeah he was alright but he got too repetitive for me. The only thing about EEI I actually miss is Frank from Gloucester. But if I had to give him up to get rid of the shouting matches, inflated host egos, completely disrespecting callers with contrary opinions, in-jokes that were never funny but are brought up ad nauseaum, feuds between callers, going on and on about business ventures and of course refusing to talk hockey.

I can't imagine how the past few weeks have been for them, it must be the most elementary hockey talk going today. None of the callers really know anything because the fans all moved to the FM and it's obvious the hosts don't/never did or they would've been more inclined to take calls before they were the only sports story in town. Plus, they fired the only guy with a hockey background.

Bringing in El Prez for D&C is smart though. Even though D&C are deplorable human beings and have nothing worthwhile to say, the readers of Barstool are such sheep they'll all tune regardless of how boring it is. All those Viva La Stool signs are a nuisance. People don't even put effort into them but at least they're labeling themselves as blatant attention whores.

Even if the rioters didn't riot...the cops were still gonna bust skulls.

At least the rioters gave them a reason to do it.
