NHL playoffs

[jwmiller33]

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.

[OnAFly]

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.

[Bran32]

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!!

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

GO CANUCKS!

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...

[pinkfloyd4ever]

same here about the canucks, just something about them, maybe still the whole Bertuzzi thing from years back.. Go Bruins

[fishing tech]

Nucks just have to many hateable players. Although there are a couple I wouldn't mind seeing on the Wild team.

[solbes]

Mason Raymond has a fractured vertebra, so he'll be in street clothes for the final game tonight. Bruins fans were calling him a diver on the injury

[OnAFly]

Boychuck's hit was late, Raymond didn't have the puck, Raymond was in a vulnerable position and Raymond is out for the year.

He dove as much as Horton dove.

[Bear55]

My head is saying 3-1 Canucks with an empty netter to seal it. Slightly hoping for a 2-1OT Boston win.

[gatorhunter]

Reports that I've been reading are saying that he's still in a Boston hospital.

[OnAFly]

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.

[Musky Buck]

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.

[solbes]

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.

[OnAFly]

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.

[scsavre]

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.

[Musky Buck]

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.

[scsavre]

id pay good money to see neely and ulfy meet up one last time.

[Musky Buck]

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

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

[scsavre]

Musky Buck those were the days.

Just saw a stat that the team with the most canadiens always wins. Looks like Boston is keeping the Cup in the States.

[OnAFly]

Boston is going to win this if the Canucks don't start moving their feet.

[OnAFly]

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.

[cbrooks]

Recchi almost had a beautiful goal in the second period on a break-a-way.
