    Stanley Cup Finals: Discussion Thread

    Bruins win 3-1 tonight.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Not even gonna watch.

    I can't stand to watch another Buffalo division rival/another Boston team win. Someone in Boston sold their soul to the devil for sports victories and I can't wait til it comes back to bite you guys in the ass.

    Yea you're right it was a mythical soul selling... Has nothing to do with that in order to compete with the other local teams you need to make sure you have a competitor out there.

    outliers do occur. for the most part, buffalo sports pain will happen much more frequently than Kevin (with a Y) winning a championship happens.

    agreed. it gives them 2 days off while they are in vancouver, but then has them flying to boston sunday morning and playing monday. why not play thursday and saturday in vancouver, then give them sunday to travel. monday and tuesday to adjust. then get wednesday and friday as games 3 and 4. Then monday, wednesday and friday. That gets tough on the teams, but it evens out a little mroe since the series has a story line.

    i don't get why they front load the rest for games 1 and 2 and not for when the teams travel when they have two teams on the opposite ends of the country.

    The Bruins Power Play looks like a bunch of kids getting off the short bus. (No offense S11*)

    Seeing Boston lose with 18 seconds left was a good way to end the duel. In the first game no less.

    I hope the rest of the series is just as close.

    Boston needed to find a way to win that one with Thomas standing on his head. If they were able to steal that one, I think it would go 6 maybe 7. I can't see a repeat of his performance on Saturday night on account of it being unrealistic to think he can do that twice in a row against that fire power.

    Nuckers find a way to win one in boston. Nuckers in 5.

    Thomas was playing out of his mind. It's a shame he's wearing that uniform, otherwise I'd be a fan.

    Always been a fan of Luongo.

    I have too since I saw him in the World Juniors in 99. That year Canada had no business being anywhere near the finals and he piggy backed them all the way there.
