! Vancouver !
Been waiting for this to show up. They do have a great team and it has been a great series so far. Both games could have gone either way...maybe next year for the Sharks, but then again maybe not...

Boston Bruins should be called Boston BULLY'S they are getting away with murder the refs are not calling any way near the penalties the should be getting as well as the cheep shots trying to injure key players If they tried to play a honest game they would have their butts kicked. It seems like the hockey league is turning a blind eye at this and to stamp on anything CANADIAN!!!!!! could get into a heavy debate on this but i will just leave at that
Slashing on the legs is not a suspendable offense. True its rough out there, but thats what the game is going to be for the Bruins to be effective. Toews said it in the first series, "expose them" which in real terms means, if you are physical, they (canucks) are not effective. Worked for them in the series too. Once the bodies start flying, the Sedins are AWOL... And they know that.
When your backup goalie is more playoff ready than your starter, then you are in trouble..

Thats a little harsh. There is such thing as a physical game, if you remember before the lockout. Being physical is part of hockey as much as they are trying to get it out through all the interference penalties. Chippy hockey I can't stand, physical hockey is different. Hacking on the goalies stick is chippy, ala Burrows. If you want to get in a goalies head, score.
The weakness I see that Vancouver has is that they cannot adapt to or overcome a more agressive team. They are not dimensional enough and are trying to play THEIR game against a team that knows THEIR game and is making them look like fools until the canucks realize they have to adapt and play more...try putting the puck on the net even more. Slow up the Euro style pass pass pass hockey...its all too predictable. The Canucks have to toss out their current gameplan in order to get even the most remote chance of staying in this series.
Tim Thomas has shown he is the best goalie this season time and time again.
For Luongo to stay in for even 4 goals let alone 8, its just plain arrogance and stupidity on behalf of the coaching staff.
I am a Canucks fan...this to me is not about taking cheap shots or bad calls, its the Stanley Cup Final...suck it up and play. Its pro hockey. Play like you deserve it. Boston is doing just that.
If Luongo lets in more then 1 goal in the first period, he should be pulled. Some of the shots on him were real simple basic plays that he was slow on.
Watch his glove side...the glove comes up AFTER the puck has passed. Its hard to have faith and confidence in him with how much he is letting by. Its not all his fault but he sure is playing at his bottom level compared to many other games.
I predict Canucks will eek out a 3-2 win tonight. Guess who I think will be the goalie for Van at the end of the game?
