The great Canadian Hockey thread ....eh!
#466
I could care less who wins but I never understood the whole "keep the cup in Canada" mentality by a lot of people I hear. Especially when 75% of the Bruins roster is Canadian. If anything we would want to be pulling for Boston to show our dominance in the sport.
Either way it's still weird seeing hockey in June.

Now we know you're an impostor. The only people that use Eh are Americans trying to imitate Candians
Yes it was awesome, i was on the edge of my seat the whole game. i was ALMOST disappointed when the nucks scored I wanted some overtime.

Horton's head was up (albeit looking the opposite way) and it was an unnecessary blind side hit. Rome will be suspended later today.
Rant - I'm sick of seeing this lack of respect. The biggest problem I have is the trickle down effect and how much of it is replicated in minor hockey.
I coach rep kids from M Atom to M Bantam and we see it in all ages. The BS after every whistle is mimicked by the kids too.
The NHL looked completely bush league (from top to bottom) last night.
I watched a 67 Leafs Blackhawks game last weekend. Absolutely no BS in a Stanley Cup semi-final.
I'm really just sick and tired of seeing the kids copy their hockey idols.
As far as the score last night; well you only need to win by one but the look on the faces of the Nucks fans was priceless.
Game 3 will be right back on track and both teams will battle hard. It should be a close one.

It's really sad to see this in the today's game.

With last change, I don't think the Canucks can match-up physically no matter what they try. Skill wise they should come out a little ahead.
The face-off is probably moot since they still won most of them in Boston too.
I know the Canucks lead the league in 'regular season' hits but they didn't play the Bruins 82 times and this is the play-offs. regular season means nothing when it comes to that stat.
Thomas is outperforming Lou...no surprise to me.
The Canucks top players are being shut down but the match-ups on home ice should change this for the Canucks. If it doesn't then they are finished by game 6.

It was a good game. It started out very fast past in the first. To many bad calls by the refs and I admit they where against the Canucks. I wish the refs would let'm play.
I don't think either team really outplayed the other.
The Canucks may just thank their lucky stars they earned home ice advantage for this final unless they can solve the Bruins...in Boston.
I'm just thankful its 6 or 7 games. Some people don't appreciate hockey in June but for me I start going through withdrawal symptoms until the next season begins. NHL and NFL are the only pro sports I watch. Thers not much else to own a TV for.
