I was rooting for the Senators

FUCK YOU BETTMAN!!!!!!

I was rooting for the Senators

FUCK YOU BETTMAN!!!!!!

Anyone watching the Penalty calls early in that game tonight know the fix was definitely not in lol It's pretty bad when Pierre McGuire is calling out how bad the refs were

[Emperor Smeat]

Missed most of the game but :D Bs took care of the Rangers.

Penguins vs Bs series should be a really good series.

[Blitz]

Leafs could have been going to the conference finals, damn

[LoDownM]

Missed most of the game but :D Bs took care of the Rangers.

Penguins vs Bs series should be a really good series.

If the Pens play like they did in most of the series against the Sens it will be. If they play like they played against the Islanders, it won't be.

Bandwagoners speaking up again. NEVER turn on your team.

[LoDownM]

Man, what a blown call on that disallowed goal tonight.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bruwins. :y:

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Bs up 1-0 against the Penguins.

Didn't show any of the big problems they had with the Pens during the season (Pens didn't completely control the flow and Bs weren't lazy with a lead).

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

3-0 fuck yeah.

[LoDownM]

Fuckin hell.

[Corndad]

Awful. Pens Just looking Awful. Bruins are playing flawless.

[Corndad]

I seriously think they forgot how to skate on ice.

[Emperor Smeat]

Another big win by the Bs against the Penguins.

[weather vane]

BRUINS

Take one of two at home here and lets get to that SHIP!

[parkmania]

Man, Pens need to get it together. I said before the playoffs started that the only team that can beat the Pens IS the Pens, and they're proving me right.

Not taking anything away from the B's - they are a great team in their own right, but the assemblage of talent in Pittsburgh's locker room has no equal. Anything less than a Cup is underachieving.


Vokoun did what was needed of him - get the team through the Islanders and the Sens. Now Fleury needs to get that rust shaken off in a hurry.

[Skippord]

In the most important NHL news of the season Patrick Bordeleau re-signed with the Avs :heart:

[Corndad]

This Game. I just. I can't handle this.

[CSL]

hot game, forgot how much fun playoff hockey can be

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wake me up when the game is over can't take the stress of OT hockey.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Bergeron with the game winner.

Amazing game

[LoDownM]

Love/Hate Playoff OT at the same time.

[Skippord]

I rather like this Bruins team, big fan of Patrice Bergeron and Jagr boggles my mind on a regular basis

[CSL]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-arm-errrrrrr-yar-gerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[OssMan]

Penguins almost won on a play where Crosby was completely offsides...jesus

[weather vane]

What a game. BRUINS

Holy fuck @ Tuukka.

BERGGGGYYYYY

[Blitz]

If the Bruins win the cup I dunno how I will feel about that

[weather vane]

If that comment has anything to do with the Leafs then give your head a shake.

#leafsnation

[LoDownM]

Fucking hell, wide open net with Rask down and no one shot with like 20 seconds left.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fuck yeah. Bruins win the Trophy that cannot be touched. Stanley Cup for the 2nd time in 3 years.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Bs win, series swept, now onto the Cup Finals.

Did not expect going into the series the Bs would have been this good or even have a sweep be possible.

[OssMan]

Slickytrickdamon and smelly meatball doing nothing to convince me that they are different people

[LoDownM]

Well, hope whoever comes out of the West wins the cup.

[Corndad]

Vokoun stopped 61 of the last 64 shots. Dude deserved better. "The stars" just didn't show up. Games 3 and 4 are what this series should have been. Fate was sealed after game 2 in my eyes. Good Luck to Boston, always next year right?

[parkmania]

Bylsma and the assistant coaches all get 2 year extensions?!?!?!?!?

When did Craig Patrick get a body-switching machine and transpose himself and Ray Shero???

[LoDownM]

Stupid fucking fire in the north part town, they aren't showing the game on NBC here... I know, incredibly selfish, but its the finals, not some first round/regular season game.

Before anyone says anything, yes I am streaming it, just annoyed by the forest fires.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's not on NBC. It's on NBC Sports. At least here it is.

[Skippord]

It's on NBC here

also keep your smoke to yourselves

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Maybe its on both. Not sure.

[LoDownM]

also keep your smoke to yourselves

I'll get right on telling the wind to not blow smoke in your direction.

[Droford]

Thought for sure that was a goal

[CSL]

I'll get right on telling the wind to not blow smoke in your direction.

what a nice bloke

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Jesus Christ how did that not go in?

[Corndad]

This Game may end before Game 2 Starts. Maybe.

[Droford]

How long will they pay before the suspend it? It'd be funny if they are still playing at 5 or 6 am

[Skippord]

I'll get right on telling the wind to not blow smoke in your direction.
Please do. I kept thinking there was delicious barbeque around all day today.

[Droford]

Bah..I wanted them to play all night

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fuck you Daugavins. You fucked us.

[Emperor Smeat]

Amazing game even though the Bs lost in the end.

[OssMan]

Every game i watch goes 90234 hours

[Arashi Kage]

Glad the Hawks won, but not really caring either way.

Hawks: don't like Kane & Bolland, traditionally never really cared for the Hawks. Fan of Toews & Keith, but it's not like they are my favorite players or anything.

Bruins: don't like entire team except Jagr, should support Peverley though so we get another cup celebration visit. Bruins put out Pens and Leafs = :mad: lol

Guess I'm pulling for the Hawks. :p

[weather vane]

Deserved a better fate than that...

Gotta bury your chances though. Fucking Kasper.

Feel awful after that one.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol you've got to be kidding me

http://i.minus.com/i9TdrpnPo6wqT.gif

[LoDownM]

The penguin should be Robert Frolik. If you don't have twitter/weren't watching NBC during Game 1, you won't get that at all.

[weather vane]

It should be every CBC/NBC employee.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Boom series tied. Bruins take home ice advantage.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Bruins win, series tied 1-1

Punk was at the game and managed to get flipped off by a Bs player (if the tweet is to be believed)

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Pretty sure Yagr just flipped me off.</p>&mdash; CM Punk (@CMPunk) <a href="https://twitter.com/CMPunk/statuses/346092159130300416">June 16, 2013</a></blockquote>

[weather vane]

Ownssss OWNSSSSSS

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Rask with another shut out! 2-1 series lead!

[weather vane]

Whammy. Bergy was a beast. Rask played great.

Met Craig MacTavish and Don Cherry on the same day this week.

[Bad News Gertner]

Leafs just got Jonathan Bernier for basically nothing. Thrilled at this deal.

[Ruien]

1 more win for the BHawks and it is all over! Chicago may end up becoming a hockey town over basketball and baseball (Bears will always be #1).

[Skippord]

I'd like to know Ronic's feelings on this great Stanley Cup Final!

[weather vane]

Been here before. Put it to 7 boys. Need this.

[Corndad]

Holy Shit. 2 Goals in 17 seconds in the last minute to maybe win the Cup. Jesus.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Shit.

[Bad News Gertner]

#Bostonstrong

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow Bs blew that big time. Up 2-1 with 1:30 left became 3-2 Hawks within a minute later.

Probably can pin point to the 2nd period of Game 4 (6-5 Hawks) where the whole series shifted in the Hawks favor.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

#Bostonstrong

2nd > 16th.

Don't think what you said pissed me off. Just stating a fact.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Punk not caring what was going on with RAW tonight after his segment. Was watching the game in the back.

[RaginRonic]

I'd like to know Ronic's feelings on this great Stanley Cup Final!

You want to know? Fine.

After the Ottawa Senators were bounced in Round 2, my hockey-watching time for this year ended, as I no longer cared who won what.

That means I didn't watch any of the Final, minus the Cup presentation tonight.

To me, a victory for the United States, at Canada's expense, is NOT EVER okay. The 23 U.S. NHL clubs owe Canada a return on the fact that the 7 Canadian hockey markets pay the bills for the league.

And I will not be happy until the 23 U.S. NHL clubs 20 year NHL streak ends at the hands of ANY OF THE SEVEN Canadian NHL clubs.

I will only care again once I see either VAN, CGY, EDM, WPG, TOR, OTT, or MTL hoist the trophy on NBC. And rub it in the faces of Bettman, the league office, the team they beat, the city they screw, and the U.S. TV network who sponges off Canada's NHL clubs.

To hell with BOS, PIT, CHI, and LA for making the Conference Final.

To hell with BOS and CHI for making the Cup Final.

To hell with CHI for winning the title.

And fuck all those who watch the NHL, just to cheer the 23 U.S. NHL clubs, no matter where you live.

Though I am happy, a tiny bit, that the team who beat the Leafs lost the Cup. BOS did NOT profit off the pain of the Leafs, and the Leafs fans, to a title win.

And from here on, to all of you here at this forum, I have no intention of congratulating the fans of a U.S. NHL club who win the title. You can all fuck yourselves, as, to me, only the fans who cheer for VAN, CGY, EDM, WPG, TOR, OTT, and MTL matter and count for everything in the NHL.

And it would be nice to see someone with a Canadian birth certificate become the new NHL commissioner, and serve the championship needs of ONLY the 7 Canadian NHL clubs.

That way, hockey's popularity in the U.S. dies. No one truly gives a flying fuck about the fans of the 23 U.S. NHL clubs anyway. Fuck you all.

That's what I think of the remainder of this year's playoffs, since OTT was eliminated.

Oh, and once again, fuck those who disagree with me, cause I'm not listening, and don't care at all about YOUR Pro-U.S., anti-Canada propaganda.

Eat shit.

Half the Original 6 are American. Canadian hockey is obsolete.

Conn Smythe: American player
Best defenceman in the playoffs: Slovak
Best Boston forward: Czech
Best Chicago forward: American

Get your garbage hockey out of this thread.

Tukka Rask deserves a Stanley Cup win for having to live with that face

[Skippord]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BNlHzziCEAAS9s7.jpg:large

Still means nothing to me though.

The ULTIMATE issue here is League Politics. To the league office, in New York, by the way, is perception of the league's image to those hockey fans in the U.S.

Gary Bettman doesn't care about those who cheer Canada's NHL clubs, and he does NOT EVER want either VAN, CGY, EDM, WPG, TOR, OTT, or MTL to EVER AGAIN win the title, and especially not on NBC.

To him, it's not okay for Canada to ever celebrate anything on an American TV network, or for any Canadian city to be discussed on NBC at length, cause heaven forbid the U.S. loses tourist dollars to, what is to them, a backwater city that doesn't appeal to the American mainstream.

A Canadian NHL club, who would win the title, would unseat the American commissioner who is running Canada's National Sport, and, hopefully, a Canadian(maybe me), would take over, and end the 'Great American Hockey Experiment' dead in it's tracks.

And, last I checked, Canada's NHL fans pay the bills for the league, not the ones in the U.S. CBC's TV revenues are far higher than NBC's, therefore, CBC should be doing the schedule for the playoffs, not NBC or the league head office.

The NHL is Canada's cultural and financial investment to the world. Not the United States. Which means, to me, Canada should govern the sport everywhere, not any other country.

And with this Lost 2 Decades that Canada's NHL clubs have had to suffer, I'm fed up to the top of my head with no championship return on MY investment.

No title will come back to Canada, as long as Americans keep being in political command of the NHL.

[Bad News Gertner]

Leafs and Habs spend a TON of money as does Vancouver.

You are so far off on all of this it's ridiculous and I'm a Leafs fan. You sound like retarded Wings fans who think the league has it out for them. The Jets shouldn't have gotten a team. They are small market and nobody wants to play there. Canadian superiority is awful. They aren't the best in the world anymore and can't get over it. Small market teams like Calgary and Edmonton are no different than a middle of the road U.S team. Get over it.

[RP]

I went from trying to figure out how im gunna get game 7 off work to going fucking bonkers in 17 seconds lol.

I'm not going to get over it until I hear Gary Buttman speak the words 'I unconditionally resign as NHL Commissioner, effective immediately, and announce Wayne Gretzky as my successor'.

So fuck you, you snippy, naive little chihuahua.

>8-(

[LoDownM]

Lol... Just because he was a great player doesn't mean he would be a good commissioner.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Tukka Rask deserves a Stanley Cup win for having to live with that face

He already has one. He was the back-up in 2011.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol... Just because he was a great player doesn't mean he would be a good commissioner.

You're so wrong on this. Remember how great of a coach he was.................

[Adder]

Happy Chicago beat Boston, even though I'm not a fan of either team.

[LoDownM]

You're so wrong on this. Remember how great of a coach he was.................

Oh yeah, I remember all those times they made the playoffs under him.

[RaginRonic]

Here's my Modus Operandi for watching the Stanley Cup Final, regardless of quality of play...I'm only going to watch a Cup Final if it's any combo of these matchups...

VAN V. MTL
VAN V. OTT
VAN V. TOR

CGY V. MTL
CGY V. OTT
CGY V. TOR

EDM V. MTL
EDM V. OTT
EDM V. TOR

WPG V. MTL
WPG V. OTT
WPG V. TOR

Only in the 12 above scenarios will I watch a full 7-game Cup Final.

If it involves any U.S. team at all, whether combined with a Canadian NHL team, or 2 U.S. teams, I don't care, because I already know what the outcome will be before Game 1 is played. The U.S. team will win in either a 4 or 5 game walk, or a Game 7 screwjob of the Canadian NHL club, in the Canadian NHL club's home building.

And I get screwed as a fan of the Canadian NHL clubs because of it.

So there you go. And call me when one of the above 12 Finals matchups materializes for me.

[RoXer]

We will. :)

[screech]

lol screwjob

[Bad News Gertner]

Vince is going instruct the goal judge to light the red goal light during overtime in game 7 of an Ottawa vs St.Louis match up, thus costing Ottawa the cup.

"I didn't screw Alfie. ALFIE SCREWED ALFIE!"

[The Fraze]

We'd like to thank Boston and their classy fans. LOL
