The Canucks are just dominating the Sharks right now. It's like all the action is taking place in front of the Sharks net. Vancouver will go up 2-0 after tonight.

Yes! Kesler with the tip in under 10 seconds to go! Overtime Hockey Game 5 in Vancouver!

F*** The Lighting lost last night to Boston. This sucks so bad cause they were so close. The game was NO penalties and only one point was scored. And Boston scored it in the third period. I'm so mad!!!
Also this might be Rollen's last year as goallie. The guy saved so many goals. Unfortunately Stamkos let Boston past him. Probably cause he took a puck to the face earlier in the game. Should've seen it. It looked super painful.

Yeah, that puck to the face did appear painful, and he even had a big blood stain after it occured.
I wanted Tampa to win as well, in fact in my bracket I had the Lightning vs. the Canucks. So close.
This should be a really good Stanley Cup Finals though. Luongo vs. Thomas, Chara, Sedin Brothers, Kesler, Marchand. It'll be a great series all around.
I'm pulling for the Canucks to take it in 7!
I wonder what crazy shinanigans Sully and Force have in store for the Finals?

I'm gonna be the Devil's Advocate and cheer for the Bruins I guess... even if it would mean Toronto's 1st pick from Boston (Kaberle trade) would be even lower. But hell, between 29th and 30th, what's the difference. Would be happy for Kabby if he'd win it.

This series should be really good. I have a hunch Boston will take it, but then I feel like Vancover will win it as well. Very happy Game 1 is tonight. Also happy the NBA Finals takes place every other day of the Stanley Cup Finals. It's like a championship game every day between the two until June 15th if both go the full 7 games.
Edit: Game 1 was awsome last night. Great goaltending performances by Luongo and Thomas. 0-0 the whole game until the final 18 seconds. It was be nice is the whole series was defensive as game 1. Game 2 will be grand.
Edit 2: Tim Thomas and Roberto Luongo are beasts in net. Awsome defense from both goaltenders. This Stanley Cup Final has created some agressive, defensive games. 0-0 in Game 3 after the 1st Period.
I really hope that Nathan Horton will be ok. That was a really hard hit.
Edit 3: A lot of aggression and taunting in this series. About 6-8 players were tossed in game 3.
Edit 4: The Canucks are playing sloppy now. Bruins are up 8-1. I'm predicting the home team will win each game. Looking forward to Game 4 on Wednesday night.
Edit 5: Boston up 3-0 in game 4 in the 2nd period. Looks like the series is going to be evened up. I wonder if Boston has Vancouver figured out. Then again, this could very well be like the 2003 Stanely Cup Finals where the home team was dominant in every game.
Edit 6: Series tied 2-2 going back to Vancouver. I wonder how the Canucks are going to bounce back from the Game 4 loss? The Bruins just dominated the last two games. Luckily for the Canucks they don't have to win in Boston to get the Stanley Cup.

Really looking forward to Game 5 of this series. It'll be interesting to see if Boston actually has Vancouver figured out or if the Canucks just need a change in venue to get them going again. Tim Thomas has been very dominant and aggressive in this series and he likely will continue to do so. It's tough to win games against a goaltender playing net as well as he has, and not just in the Stanley Cup Finals, but throughout the entire playoffs.
Game 5 is a must win for Vancouver in my opinion. Even in the two wins the Canucks have the Bruins have pushed them to the brink.

You're not in trouble until you've lost a road game. It was true for Boston, and now it's true for Vancouver.

Just turned on the television. 0-0 going into the 3rd period of game 5. Couldn't be any better. Looks like Tim Thomas is still in his "Brick Wall" status. 1 goal allowed in the last 8 periods in this series is crazy good.
Edit 1: Wow! Is anyone watching this game on CBC? They just showed the crowd outside Rogers Arena. The streets are crowded with Canucks fans. The crowd is hyped. Canucks up 1-0.

This game was very defensive. That creative offensive setup for Lapierre's goal was vital for Vancouver. It's plays like that which are needed to beat Tim Thomas. Luongo had a great game as well. I'm calling for Boston to win game 6 at home and then for the Canucks take game 7 at home for the Stanley Cup. This series is one of the best I've seen in awhile. If it goes to 7 it will be somewhat of a commonity in the Stanley Cup Finals.

2009: Penguins over Red Wings in 7
Yeah, CBC is awsome. Jim Hughson is my favorite NHL commentator. Watching The National right now. The fans are going nuts outside the arena and in numbers.
Lol just saw a fan in a chicken suit wearing a Canucks jersey.

The energy in this city is overwhelming! I haven't felt this optimistic about sports since the Olympics!
I should really go to downtown for the next two games.

I would soo go if I were you, that is if a Game 7 does occur. It isn't very often a championship game comes to a city; therefore this might be the only opportunity in some time to have an everlasting memory for the rest of your life; especially if the Canucks hoist the Stanley Cup.
If the Canucks do win in 7 games I wonder what Sully and Force are going to do to celebrate.
Really looking forward to Game 6 on Monday night. Until then I will enjoy Game 6 of the NBA Finals. That too has been an awsome championship series.

I was in downtown Mtl last night, watching the game in a bar-terasse. Couple the fact that Mtl is in Canada, with the natural hate of the Bruins, and all that on the F1 Montreal Grand Prix weekend... Yeah it was pretty loud for a non-Canadiens game.
Of course, those idiots started to sing the "Ole-ole" chants... **** I hate that song...

Game 6 starts not to long from now. Definately have my popcorn ready for this one.
Edit 1: Bruins are already up 2-0 seven minutes into Game 6. This game has disaster written all over it for the Canucks, especially with Tim "The Brick Wall" Thomas in net. Looks like there will be a Game 7 afterall. Granted it's still early, but for as defensive as these two teams have been all series, coming back from a 2-0 hole, especially on the road seems improbable.
Edit 2: 3-0 Bruins. Luongo just got pulled and now Schnieder is in. I wonder why Luongo has struggled so badly at The Garden this series. At Rogers Arena in 3 games he has only allowed 2 goals, but in 2 1/3 games in Boston has allowed 15 goals. Ouch!
Edit 3: 4-0. Get ready for Game 7.
Edit 4: I'm pulling for the Canucks to win this series, but I love watching Tim Thomas make beastly saves. Definately one of my favorite goaltenders.

Game 7 on Wednesday night! Can't get any better than this in the Stanley Cup Finals. Really looking forward to this game in front of an electric Rogers Arena.
I have no intuition as to who is going to win the cup. Vancouver is dominant at home and will have the crowd on their side; however Boston has been in every game they've lost and dominted every game they have won. It's really strange how playing at home makes a big impact on a team's performance.
I want to see a 1-1 or 0-0 game go into Overtime, and I want to see 4 OT's at a minimum for the most epic Stanley Cup Game 7 of all time. This is definately going to be a game to remember no matter what happens.

I don't understand how that Vancouver goalie sucks so much in Boston, but rocks at home. You figure that many bad games would get into his head.
LETS GO BRUINS.

There's a riot in Vancouver right now. Hopefully it quells soon.
Darkslash

Well that was crap.
Riots made the whole thing worse. People were drinking booze, climbing on the portable toilets, smoking weed, climbing the light posts. I was wondering the whole time where the police were.
Overall, that last game was really...sad. Canucks fans didn't start the riot. They got out of there as fast as they could. Criminals did, and I hope they get the justice.
Sorry world. That wasn't Vancouver.

Yeah, really disappointed with the riots. I mean...I'm a passionate basketball fan, but c'mon...stabbings and cars set on fire?

That was disappointing because it makes Canucks fans and the city of Vancouver look bad, and all because of a few dumb idiots like Darkslash said.
Overall I love watching the fanbase of Canuck fans. They've been very supportive of their team for years. I remember watching a playoff game on CBC in either 2008 or 2009 when the Canucks swept some team in the first round. The fans were very excited and happy for their team, and after seeing that passion it made me want to root for Vancouver the rest of the way.
