I'm not sure if it was more a matter of Thomas being that good, or Vancouver coming up small.

Oh well.  Ohhhhh, I see.

Thomas was good, Vancouver was average, and Luongo will have to move towns.

Vancouver came up small.

At least Boston was quick about getting to the handshake line - I remember Chicago taking what seemed like forever to get over themselves and shake hands so the Flyers could leave the ice.

Congrats I guess...now we can look forward to the draft and free agency, amirite?  Ohhhhh, I see.

Ahahahaha. That's all I have to say. If the hockey gods wont even permit us Leaf Fans one playoff game, then I'm glad they deprived Canucks fans of the cup. Luongo has to be the most overrated goalie currently playing.

I'll buck the trend by actually standing up for them a bit. Luongo didn't make the miracle saves needed to win, but he didn't let in any beachballs like he did in game 6.
- first one went through six legs and off the post and in, Luongo never saw it
- wraparound, he was tangled with his own guy and still made the first save, it bounced in off of him after that
- breakaway (which was a result of a fluke bounce in the first place) was going in no matter what, with two bodies carrying it in to the net

They lost on three things in my book:
 - couldn't bury chances the whole series, just way too many open nets missed, shots fired wide, etc. Thomas was in their heads.
 - attrition. By game 7 we were down two top 6 forwards and two top 6 defense, and the guys we had were walking wounded. Boston had injuries too, but it appeared the 'nucks were in worse condition.
 - "let em play hockey" I don't want refs to decide the cup, but that game was 1970's level muck and grind hockey, which will always be an advantage to the bigger, slower team (Bruins). Call the damn game the same way all year.

Boston earned it fair and square. I have no issue with them. Congrats, we'll get you next year.

The league however gets a big fuck you for letting it turn in to 70's hockey.

The league gets a second fuck you for suspending a player based on the severity of an injury and not wanting to have to deal with the reprecussions of Boston going after him if they let him play again. That "severe concussion"? He was on a plane flying cross continent a few days later, and out skating with his team after a week.

Finally, the Boston fans get a big fuck you for acting like jackasses while Raymond was being taken off the ice with an injury. You want to bad mouth my team and city, go ahead - at least we had the class to be respectful when Horton got hurt.

Wanted the Canucks to win it, but I find it very hard to dislike this guy:




Once upon a time my favourite team had two supposedly elite defensemen, but they could only keep one.  The one they kept is out of the league (Wade Redden) the one they let go just captained his team to the Stanley Cup.   Heartbreak


Edit:  More riot pics.

I used to like and respect TT. After watching him for 7 games, that is no longer the case. Cheap shots, shooting the puck into the Vancouver net during warmups, and general smugness. Fuck him.

For what it's worth, that shit seemed to work to get into the heads of the Canucks.
