NHL Play-offs

WOW just 2 away!!!

Two very interesting games... 19 seconds remaining in game one Canucks score to win it 1 nuttin'... then game two they come back to tie it 2-2  and 11 seconds into OT win it with a wrap around to lead series 2 & OH. Still a ways to go but they can do it and the nasty Bruins are just that much closer to NOT winning the Cup!!!

Definitely rooting for the Bruins to geet back in and win it. Wasn't a big fan of the Canucks before, now with all the whining and diving they've been doing in these playoffs, definitely can't stand them.

Frig'n disaster last night....  Vancouver in 6 I think..

Game four. Boston up one nothing. I believe with that goal, Vancouver just lost the cup.

Hope I'm wrong.....

Just tuned in ... Hoping this isn't the first of 8

Best comment from the play by play guys.

"Mark Recchi who is a hundred years old."

Canucks have to stay out of the box. They need to score first!

[dan2x38]

Pay backs are a what?

Canucks 1 - zip the final

What a nail biter that one was!

12 unanswered goals in a total of 3 periods of play and then stops them all.  Just one more example how the networks wont allow a 4 game final.  Its all about how much money they would lose.  Otherwise how do you explain 2 straight where they killed Boston to play like peewee to come back and win...hmmm cant see how the $$$$ dictate the course of hockey of today lol

Win is a win...

Any time I played any sport to loose by an embarrassing score was more of a motivator for the next game then losing when we played our best game with all our heart. It can be very deflating knowing you gave it your all but still lost. So this win could be just what they needed to bring home the Cup! 

The hit Rome put on Horton put the wind back in Boston's sails. Before that hit Canucks were carrying a lot of the play that game. Then bang they gave them a reason to fight back. The next game they bring Orr out and give him a Bruins flag with Horton's number on it to wave around. That hit could have - still might - cost the Canucks the Cup? This win and all the PKs leveled the ice surface again. The Horton issue is dead now it is back to regular play - who wants it the most!

Ummm..killed Boston? One nothing in game one and a three two overtime win in game two...

Eight to one and four nothing is more of a killing..

Canucks should hang their head's that was embarrassing! I have serious doubts they can win the Cup now. Bruins have gained a ton of momentum.

It had to go 7 so the networks could make their $$$.  Not to mention it will have much more impact when Stanely returns to Canada with a win in the 7th game on home soil.

Sadly to say this it's all about the sport betting.

please be right, please be right...

but, the domination of Boston win's makes it look like they are being paid to let it go to 7 and win the away-game...

goal-tending has lost the cup for Vancouver... let one in, no problems... it happens... it's NHL they are that good.. but falling apart every time a single goal gets scored... that's bad coaching.. know your players strengths and weaknesses and use the team to compensate...

[Brent Shaver]

One important fact to keep in mind if you look at the last 6 games they have all been won at home and where is tonights game?  Home, yes so we should be good for the win.

1. After the 1st goal last night in the next series Boston pressed hard. Luongo struggled to find a puck laying on the ice in front of him and 3 players looking around their feet for it. At that moment I said to my buddy, "they need to call their time out". A few seconds later Bruins scored the 2nd goal 35 seconds apart.

2. After the 2nd goal I said, "got to bring Cory in now!" less than 4 minutes later in goes the 3rd. The 4th goal wasn't Schneider's fault it was a deflection. Then the 5th was 5 on 3. On top of all this if you ever played hockey you know sometimes the bounces go the other way and last night they didn't go Vancouvers way. So many times they missed open nets, hit the post, fanned on it, etc...

3. Officiating was on sided plain and simple the 1st period was horrible especially. The name on the back jersey is having an impact on what is being called way to much.

4. They need to and will start Luongo. You can do nothing else he is the guy in Vancouver. It will the coach's job if they loss guarantee that no matter who they start. He will take the entire blame not the players. These guys are not getting it done! The top dogs go from 75% or better scoring to 45% that won't win ya a Cup.

5. No way a team is told to loss! That would be leaked soon as someone was POed. Impossible to keep something like that quiet especially these days. Plus there is no way a player who struggled through the ranks to make it to the Big Show is told to throw a game and they say, "yup OK will do Boss". This isn't the days of the Chicago Black Socks.

OK guys now Go win us a Cup and bring the damn thing home would ya? Please!!!

Go Boston. I have way more respect for a lot of the players for Boston than some of the Canucks players. I'd love to see Chara and Thomas win a cup.
