Running Stanley Cup Playoff Thread

Someone get JC some quiche and fava beans to go with that nice Chianti.
Thankfully, they don't make pink Canucks hats.

 

So you misrepresent what he said and I'm the whiner. Being called a whiner by a Boston sports fan, a fan that has probably just started watching his beloved Bruins is quite humorous.

 

In the department of bad timing, how about the first New Hampshire Republican presidential debate being conducted at 8 p.m. tonight in direct conflict with the Bruins-Canucks game? Hockey fans are a significant subset of New Hampshire voters, Republican and otherwise. Of course, there will be about 37 more debates to come.

 

You probably remember back in the Montreal/Boston series, they changed the date of a federal leaders' debate in Quebec so it would be on an off night. Probably a smart move.

Regardless of which team wins, the Vancouver Canucks or the Boston Bruins, this final has already set new standards for childishness. It has become a your-mother-wears-army-boots contest with finger biting, finger wagging, diving, faking, whining and infantile insults, none so petty and silly as TV analyst Mike Milbury dissing Vancouver’s struggling Sedin twins as “Thelma and Louise.”

 

Seriously, dude, that's pretty sad. Especially after it's been pointed out more than once how YOU were wrong in your initial post.

But then, no one ever said Boston fans were smart.

 

Pour the zin, Hank.

 

Can't help but think the Sedins are due for a big game, although the matchup against Chara-Seidenberg has been good for Boston.

 

Agreed. Hoping Boston wins the series, but not feeling good about it. Who knows, TT may blow a tire tonight. Should be a fun watch, though.

 

Luongo sure does give up some soft goals on the road.

 

Well, Luongo's confidence has to be shot now. Too bad his team abandoned him on the second goal.

Nice shot by NBC, flipping to Schneider, who looked like he didn't want to go on the ice.

 

Is there a mercy rule in the Stanley Cup finals?
