2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Islandguy43]

I never thought we'd still be playing hockey after the basketball season was over. Maybe Bettman can extend the playoffs into July and play on an outdoor roller rink?

There actually is a league already.

The 64,000 dollar question is...What kind of game to expect this evening after a long 3-day rest? Will Vancouver come out rejuvenated and ready to take care of business? Or will Boston come prepared to administer another pummeling at the Garden?

I was ready to pick Boston to tie it up and force a 7th game Wednesday Night, until my spoiled Brother-In-Law and lifelong Bruin's Fan and Don Cherry Ass Kisser; got an early Father's Day Present. His wife and kids go bought him tickets two weeks ago on Stub Hub for tonight's games.
So...in that Case ....Canucks 4 Bruins 3 in OT, with Tim Thomas winning the Conn Smyth.

While I'm the first one to criticize the NBA and their scheduling, let's be fair here. The NHL Playoffs started three days BEFORE the NBA Playoffs, but the only way the NHL finishes before the NBA is with a Miami win tonight and a Vancouver win tomorrow night.

Just sayin'..............

One reason that happened, IMO- both conference finals ended in five games (first time since 1986 not one conf. Finals went at least six games) and thus the NBA Finals was moved up to 5/31 rather than 6/2

In comparison, last year, the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup on the day between games 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals.

Home early today...getting ready for game time.

 

[riffjim4069]

Already a lot of action in the first minute of play...Canucks lose a man to an injury, Sedin whiffs on a bouncing puck on a wide-open goal, matching penalties.

 

[riffjim4069]

Wow! I blinked and missed two goals...

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

I see a game 7 in our future.

Watching tonights game makes me want the next season to get here really quick. I think I might just have to go down to next Friday's draft party to pass some time waiting.

 

[riffjim4069]

I see a game 7 in our future.

It's looking that way...both are different teams at the Garden.

 

[BillD1984]

Great start...........the Gahden is rockin'!!!

A lot of game left to play. 35 seconds more and it could be a tied game once again.

It's almost funny because everything the Bruins throw at the goal goes in, while the Canucks couldn't mail it home if they sent it FEDEX signature requested service.

OK, it will take a bit more than 35 seconds now.

 

[BillD1984]

4-0................composite score of 6-plus periods at the Gahden........Bruins 16, Canucks 1

 

[riffjim4069]

Yikes! I took a call for a few minutes and they've added another two goals. Looks like I'll going to bed in a few minutes because this one is over!!!

 

[riffjim4069]

I've never seen anything like this...Canucks can't buy a goal, and the Bruins are getting ready to go up 5-0 on a powerplay.

I've never seen anything like this...Canucks can't buy a goal, and the Bruins are getting ready to go up 5-1 on a powerplay.

Can't score if you don't have the puck.

Wow! If this thing goes 7, the Bruins need to find a way to bring this intensity in Vancouver. I loved the camera shot of the Canucks crowd in the street. Stunned.

Shouldn't be since this will be the third straight schlacking they've taken in Boston; they should be used to it by now.

Twenty minutes away from arguably the most intense event in all sports.......Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals!
