2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Showdown!

[Immortalfire]

The first two games were tight for both teams, but geez Vancouver has gotten the spit beat out of them these last two.

 

[ih8nyy]

Canucks are shook. 7uon8o is showing his true colors, again. I wish boston would play that one Chicago song after they score, the nanana song. That would be badass.

Go Bruins!

No thanks. I'd rather stick with Zombie Nation.

Lets go B''s Lets B's

win one in vancouver guys..beat these dirty pukes

It looks like even the Sedins are tired of Burrows act. Did you see how they sort of half-heartedly tied up opposing players when Burrows got into it with Thomas and Seidenberg?

Loving Thomas right now. He's giving me flashbacks to Billy Smith. BTW what the hell is that painted on his mask? It has to be the ugliest one in the NHL.

 

[Immortalfire]

Looks like bear fur and claws.

Looks like bear fur and claws.

It's the same bear design he had last season only no color and the B's logo that was on the forehead was replaced with the medalion he wears around his neck. Back plate was changed from "Beware of Bear" to "Don'tTread On Me".

 

[SolarTiger]

Yea Timmy Thomas is awesome. Such an entertainer, and you gotta love the smile on his face after he fed Burrows a few blockers.

 

[ih8nyy]

I may jump out of my skin waiting for this game tonight. 8PM just get here already!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Oh good, my bowels can unclench now ...

But seriously, no matter how the next game goes, or the possible game after that, I think Thomas is getting the Conn Smythe. He's been so consistently good.

 

[Paroxysm]

What a game. Home ice once again proves to be the difference.

1 more win.

Go Canucks Go!

He deserves it, he's been unbelievably good.

Luongo looked miles better than he did in his last two starts. So glad he was able to break his slump.

 

[Microchip]

There's a few possible vezina candidates based on previous series performances too (Burrows has been really clutch throughout, and Luongo has been amazing with the exception of about 3 games) but yeah, I think Thomas deserves it most. Barring a huge meltdown in game 6 or a possible game 7, I'd say he's a shoe-in.

why is it the officiating at all of the games in Vancouver has been noticeably terrible?

Because the Nucks borrowed Pronger's Bettman issued "Can't Get Called For Penalties" card.

 

[SolarTiger]

I think the B's will win in Boston but I doubt they take game 7.

The officiating has been horrible all series not just in Vancouver.

Bruins has plenty of chances to score on the PP.

I'm not a Bruins fan. I hate hate the ****ing Nucks so much...

It's frustrating to see Lou steal the show when he truly sucks. Bruins just work themselves when they are in Vancouver. They let the "arena" get in their heads.

It's sad, when they aren't the better hockey team but are the better playoff team. *They need to dump/chase, grind, forecheck, get in the crease and pound away. That's when they win, and that is the game a team needs to win the playoffs.

Van is barely winning these "standoff" games. It merely comes down to lucky bounces and just too good of D on both sides. While when one team (Boston) plays grinder hockey, then they win.

Van is too finese and pretty with the puck. Yes, that wins seasons but not playoffs. they are lost out there. The only way Van win this series is in game 7 because Bruins just didn't bring their game*. Boston will win and kill the nucks at home (game 6), this is truly a series hometown series and relies on the other teams D to make mistakes and for the O to not show up...

Vancouver has won 3 games / 2 series on lucky bounces;
-Chicago D's errant pass in OT (Not so lucky but kind of)
-"No One Can See The Puck Because Board Extensions Suck Balls" in SJ in Double OT to win series (LUCKY)
-Terrible Slapshot from the point bouncing of the back board to a hoser on the goal line (LUCKY).

I disagree with your series analysis but your entitled to an opinion.

I'm also glad you're ripping your hair out over this.

Loungo has balls to say he would have stopped the goal Thomas let in the other night. Considering he couldn't have stopped a beach ball the previous two games.

Bruins better lock it down tomorrow night and then stuff it down Loungo's throat in game 7.

 

[Paroxysm]

Well Loungo does play deep in the crease and if you play deep in the crease you greatly increase your chances of stopping goals like that from going in. Tim Thomas likes to leave his crease and when you leave your crease goals like that can happen.

Luongo also got a shutout after getting lit up like a Christmas tree in those previous two games. Just saying.

 

[Themanofbat]

I don't know why the Canucks feel the need to say stuff that will just get Boston pumped up... and I don't understand why the Bruins need the Canucks to say **** to amp up their game...

 

[greenrage36]

My guess is Bobby Lou realizes he probably lost his Vezina chances with the two Boston games played so he has to save face in other ways...

Go Bruins!!!

Playoffs won't affect Vezina voting.
