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. |

It's way too early to call the series either way. Boston has the momentum for sure, but they won both of their games on home ice.
I don't really like the 2-2-1-1-1 series set up for a final. Baseball and Basketball have it better with 2-3-2 in the finals. |

These finals are incredible. Way better than shitty last year's. Even though the last 2 games have been blowouts they have been super exciting.

The two rules of playoff hockey: don't overreact to one game and you're not in trouble until you lose at home.

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.

I heard Pierre McGuire apply it to the Bruins when asked if they were in trouble after game 2.

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. |

Never understood rioters...nothing says team pride like tearing your city apart.
Would make more sense to organize a trip to Beantown, or the NHL's New York head office...not that I am encouraging such behavior

It's not every loss, but Lou is inconsistent. Bugs me when fans boo him or cheer when he's replaced, but he is a coin, he has two sides. Those 2 games in Boston wasn't just Lou. It was the whole team. Lou and the Nucks are going to be better in Boston for game 6. Guaranteed....but so are the Bruins. |

Bruins have scored 2 goals in Vancouver in 180+ minutes, Lara Emily.
Fuck. It's looking like Vancouver in seven now. |

Vancouver won 1-0 but the Bruins played almost exactly how they did in Game 1 and not how they were in the previous 2 games.Both goalies were good with Luongo a bit better in the end. |

So sweet i was wrong awesome, look just because I thought they were done doesn't mean I was not wanting them to win, I just felt they had blown their momentum and that Boston had control, turns out i was wrong, that's awesome I'm happy
And for the record I'd have and have said the same thing about my Penguins, I'm a pessimist fan, it's how I operate |

Honestly if the Bruins/Canucks are going to play like this in Vancouver, it doesn't matter if the Bruins score 50 on Monday.

That was Canuck hockey btw. That's how they've played most of the season, this is why they are Presidents Cup Champs.

Don't the Sedins usually score though? I thought you had to get on the scoresheet to win an Art Ross trophy.

Really wish Lapierre would stop that horseshit too. He acted like someone took an axe to his wrist after Chara tapped him.
Lapierre is a good hockey player, he doesn't need to resort to faking shit in order to be an effective player. |

This series is going seven, which is something I was afraid of. I'll claim ignorance and say I don't know what's more valued Olympics/NHL, but my inclination is to say game seven will be USA/Canada x10.

So is Sedin, I'm pretty sure he had an arm or wrist injury in the first round, but I think he has lower body injury now.
Kesler is banged up pretty good, you are not seeing Ryan Fucking Kesler right now, you're seeing just Ryan. |
