NHL Finals

Anybody else watching the Bruins kick Vancouver in the Canucks?

 

Ahhh...remember, though, it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings, which won't be until the end of the series.

 

I'm still marveling that Vancouver has made it this far. That Boston is whacking them is the dog-bites-man story.

Nope. I am counting the days until college football kicks off.

 

nanoose is right though, game seven will tell the story.

 

Agreed...and I live in Boston. I might be the only one here that doesn't care.

 

No but I did watch Texas A&M crush Florida State 11-2 along with Texas eliminating Arizona State ... two Texas teams advancing to the College World Series-Omaha.

2011 College World Series lineup:

Texas A&M
Texas
Florida
North Carolina
South Carolina
Virginia
Vanderbilt
California

 

Well, so far in the series, the wins have come on home ice.
Guess we know what that means for game 7, eh? :cool2:

 

One of the Sedin twins has guaranteed a Canucks victory for Game 7.

He should have checked with Roberto Luongo to see how it worked out for him when he shot his mouth off before Game 6.

 

In Boston there has been a tremendous amount of excitement building as the Bruins have moved through the playoffs. A huge number of people have jumped on the bandwagon, including me. I think I can honestly say that prior to this playoff series I have never watched an entire hockey game in my life. My knowledge of the game is mostly limited to the ways in which it resembles soccer. There are still rules I don't know, etc. When it comes to the Bruins I am a total pink hat. It's a great excuse to get together with a few friends and make some noise. Based on what I know (because like all good pink hats, I am now an instant expert) I would say that under ordinary circumstances Vancouver would have the advantage tonight but it appears that they will be struggling with a lot of injured or banged up players. Based on overall health and superior goaltending I'm giving the edge to Boston. In any case it will be great entertainment.

 

Yes - Boston has definitely done a number on quite a few of 'our' players. Time will tell....and I hate this knot in my stomach! (I am not a bona fide hockey nut....just patriotic....) :wink:

 

Best of luck to your team Nanoose.

I trust you'll wish the best of luck to ours.

 

Well done, Bruins! Congratulations.

 

Bruins win! Canada burns...

 

The best part of this whole thing was listening to the drunk idiots outside my apartment in Beacon Hill chanting "USA, USA..." after the game. Quick check of the roster shows that the Canucks have more US players than the Bruins, the Bruins have more Canadian players than the Canucks.

 

But why confuse a drunken party with facts? That's it...you're off my 4th of July party guest list.

 

I tried to explain to my kids (born in 2001) today how incredible it is that they've seen the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins all win a championship in their lifetime, but I don't think they quite understood the significance.
