Boston Bruins vs Vancouver Canucks would make a GREAT series

[Gerry]

Total domination again last night by Boston.

Thomas was simply amazing.

Again, Boston outskated the Canucks.

VERY bleak canucks yesterday. made me sad in my eye

hopefully my fellow swedes and the rest of them start producing again tomorrow...

Luongo most likely will start the next game. But if the Canucks fall behind early (perhaps a 2-0 score) I have a feeling he'll get pulled early.

Although both goalies played well in Vancouver (heartbreaking loses), the goals against are Thomas 5 / Luongo 14.

Even though both teams get a needed rest between games, now comes the added stress of alternating flying coast-to-coast for the remainder of the games.

This is now the Bruins series to take or give away.

The team with the best Goalie wins cups, Luongo is simply not that Goalie.

A Boston win in game 5 pretty much seals the series.

What a turnaround, where was this Boston team in games 1 and 2?

Thomas is playing excellent. Luongo is having one of his stink out periods. Game 5 anything can happen. I really don't know who Vancouver will start in nets. With Luongo's big contract they almost have to give him another chance.

I think the late Rome hit in game 3 woke up the Bruins and got them playing more agressive, because it all changed after that. Way to go Rome!

Still sticking with my Canucks in six.

Excited already in anticipation of this game. Everything is on the line for both teams here in game 5. Canucks must win to force a game 7 on their ice. A Boston win tonight pretty much seals The Cup on Boston's home ice.

This is going to be one hell of a game for one hell of a series!!!

 

[Gerry]

Totally blown away by the spectacular goal tending.

Back-to-Back shutout games by each goalie.

Doesn't get better than that.

Great game for Luongo

 

[hugegrowth]

Missed the game but saw the result. Luongo is so hot and cold, but more often hot luckily for the Canucks.

Vancouver could actually win the Cup even though being severely outscored by the Bruins in the overall series.

If Luongo had let a bunch in tonight and got pulled again, it would have got very interesting...

 

[Gerry]

WOW O WOW O WOW!

Going to game seven!

And what the hell was Luongo thinking with that trash talk???

 

[hugegrowth]

I was totally wrong with my prediction.

Game 7 is going to be great, what a strange series this has become.

The Bruins have totally domainated at home. The Canucks...yes, they have won every home game but those games were so close and, as mentioned, the difference 29 seconds make in game one 18) and game two (OT :11). A win is a win.

It is incredible to think that the entire season is now one game.

 

[hugegrowth]

I have to say I think Boston deserves to win the Cup, though I'd still rather see Vancouver win it. It would be nice if Vancouver could blow Boston out in game 7 to prove they can do it to. If Boston loses, it would have to be a record for a losing team outscoring the winner in a playoff series.

Also, if Boston wins, I wonder how the Vancouver crowds will react downtown? Remember past riots and unruliness? There is so much pent up demand for Vancouver to win a Cup.

Anything is possible. I have been impressed from what seems like two different teams showing up to play for each team and each game - one that plays at home and one that plays on the road.

No one has lost at home which might be a plus for Vancouver.

But I have no idea how Loungo will respond to taking such a pounding last night. And still...what the hell was he thinking when he made those comments after game 5?

If Vancouver loses, those words might be viewed as the catalyst of the Bruins rallying around Thomas to prove he is the better goalie in the series.

No question about it, Thomas is winning this series like Patrick Roy used to.

For Vancouver to win, it will take a miracle. Luongo is not the man for this job. Win or lose, Luongo has not been steady.

I agree

Tim Thomas should win the Conn Smythe Trophy...no matter who wins Game 7.

 

[Gerry]

...winning this series like Patrick Roy used to.

Oh, man...what a feisty competitor he was. Not afraid of anyone and would mix it up with whoever was in his zone.
