NHL playoffs

What was Luongo saying about "pumping the breaks"??? I wonder how his words tasted while he was sitting on the bench yesterday. Karma is a great thing.

This series has really been interesting... When the games were at Van, they were 1 goal games. When the games were at Boston, the Bruins won by 7, 4, and 3 goals. It seems like if Van comes to play, they can skate with Boston, but Boston is the much more consistent team.

Seriously Luongo! How can you be soooooo terrible in Boston. That first goal was soft...really soft. The second one wasn't as bad but still, he should have stopped it. The third was a screen, tough goal. It would have been more of a positional save than seeing the puck and stopping it.

Onto Vancouver. Go Canucks!!!

EDIT: If Vancouver plays their game and Luongo plays like he has at home, the Canucks will win this. If either of those don't happen, Boston will hoist the cup.

What does Luongo's favorite pillow look like, likely enough grease to scrape off and repack my bearing buddies. I'm glad I'm not Henrik Sedin, actually I wish I was, but I'd hate to go goal less in the finals, his kids someday will ask daddy how many goals did you score when you won the cup ? There's the kicker, if he can score tomorrow night Vancouver wins ! Actually, I was fairly intoxicated last night, did he score one of the 2 last night lol ? Got a grain belt headache today. Want to see Claude Julien start Chara & McQuaid on D, Lucic,Thornton and Campbell and come out banging the body. I want to see Cam Neely come flying out of the pressbox area, find Ulf Samuelsson, and finish Ulffy ! I predict 3-2 Vancouver with Luongo greasing up the trophy only to hand it to Burrows to drop it.

Haha! The greaseball comments about Luongo are pretty good. I'm also gonna stick with Vancouver for the win....4-2.

GO CANUCKS!

I can't stand the east coast and the eastern teams but on that note GO BRUINS, no chance in He!! that I'm pulling for a canadian team let alone one in my teams division!!

I could actually root for the Canadians or Leafs over a few of our teams, Boston included. But there's something about the Canucks that has irked me over the years.

Bruins 3-1 with an empty netter... wink

Me too. There should be supplementary discipline for Boychuck, but there won't be.

You can't just can opener a guys but into the boards. Boychuck knew exactly what he was doing. Raymond could have been paralyzed.

Diver ? I hope those saying so were drunk as you need a bad injury to not keep playing, they all know hey we may never get this chance again to play for the title, that was really an awkward play/check/etc. That's right I forgot I don't like Vancouver but without Bertuzzi and Brad May was it he who fought Wild tough guy " Kimmy Johansson " ? Equivalent would've been Boogaard dropping Ohlund, anyway the boys will finally get to shave, eat a meal of their choice, and get drunker than Harry Carey (RIP). What a season.

The hit was dirty, but what was with the crowd? Hate seeing a former Duluth alum go down like that, especially given the timing. I want to root for Boston tonight, but am having a hard time. Guess I'll just watch for the entertainment value, not sure I really like either team.

Honestly, going into the playoffs I didn't really like any one team either. I just can't root for Boston. It's Boston!!!

I don't like seeing hits like this. They are avoidable, add nothing to the game, and are just done with intent to injure. Same goes for the Rome hit on Horton. These guys need to have more respect for each other out there.

BTW, after Boychuck gets back to the bench you see Julien pat him on the back. Yeah, great job Brad. You nearly killed a guy. You should be proud.

I got no problem with that hit. Looks like he just road him into the boards. and finished his check. I do have a problem if at the end he increased the pressure and drove him harder into the boards at the last second. I just cant tell on that video. But if he did indeed give him a shot at the end he should get suspended.

I didn't know he was a bulldog but now thinking back that name is very familiar. A strange play for sure. My bit of love for Boston isn't so much the guys they have now, it was the Ray Bourque's, Cam Neely, Jay Miller, Nevin Marquart just kidding he had the lamest helmet in the NHL with Mike Foligno of course. Even Gretzky's Jofa puke blue never liked it, anyway it's good to see games on NBC, I live in a MN town where people say hockey what's that but now many have come to me saying wow, hockey is a great game to watch for sure, fast, no timeouts, etc. Canada can have their Olympic Gold, 50.5 to 49.5 I want Boston and want Cam Neely to bump into Ulffy in the concourse and take an axe handle to his thigh. smile

And I'd buy you the first round of drinks [pleasebecomeasponsor]. Wasn't it Ulf that basically ended Neely's career with the knee to the thigh, that filled with calcium, surgery and Neely made darn sure he'd be back to at least play Pittsburgh I think that's where Ulffy was at that time. Mike Emrick had the best line when Ulffy was with Hartford, wild free for all ensued, Rick Tocchet ended up with Ulffy who got bloodied up pretty good with 1 punch here goes " Worst 2 ways to wade into a fight, jersey over head, helmet off " he also would add about Neely fighting, he's strong and left handed which surprises people. Well if I had a plan to maybe go with Neely I might ask Joe Cirella how it went when he was a Nordique I think. Can't wait for the game especially if I'm mentioning Ulffy and Joe Cirella.

It's kinda like a Gopher/Badger game laugh

Too bad for Raymond though. His loss could really hurt the Nucks tonight. If Boston gets the first goal - I think they win.

Congrats to the Bruins. Marchand deserves to lift the cup with the playoff performance he had. Also, congrats to Recchi for getting to lift the cup in what is probably his last season.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
