21 minutes until the final game. It's been a great series of terrific hockey on both sides. Is a shame someone has to lose given the talent and skill on both these teams.

Good luck everyone.

Gentle Tiger · 06-16-2011, 12:01 AM

Way to go Bruins!
I may have left Boston but I still root for the teams.

Linus · 06-16-2011, 11:33 AM

Wow. Vancouver is really embarrassing. Rioting for the sake of rioting. Sigh.

That was quite scary to watch. Wish I understood the reasons why people did that.

Thankfully, the city of Boston refused to open the Garden for fans to watch the game on the big screen, partly to avoid a large crowd and the potential for misbehavior.

It's sad but is nice to know this sports behavior isnt just done in the USA.

Stitch · 06-29-2011, 02:00 AM

You can't completely say the US doesn't riot and do stupid things.
Pittsburgh after winning Superbowl in 2009.

Well I am going to go against the grain.
I am a Canucks fan and I do live in Vancouver.
I love my Canucks, I grew up watching them.

A lot has been said trashing Vancouver for what
happened after the Stanley Cup, but no one ever talks about
how the city actually helped volunteer to clean up.
There was also Facebook sites created to help tag people
who participated in the riots and hold them accountable. Vancouver isn't happy with what some people in Vancouver decided to do that night.

-----

Anyway, back to hockey.

Time to dust this off. Will the Bruins repeat last year or will Vancouver finally do it? it's interesting that dynasties in sports is far more rarer than before..

Anyone watching the pre-season games?

No way the Bruins repeat, too much of a Cup hangover. In the East I think the big questions are what is going to happen with Crosby and do the Caps implode or do they give themselves one more chance to make the leap and become something more than a regular season wonder. They should have taken the C away from Ovie a couple years ago. Now it's a little late and they just have to hope he grows into it.

In the West, if I'm a Vancouver fan I'm equally worried about Luongo's softness and the Sedin's playoff disappearing act. No way can they win while dealing with both of those. Chicago should rebound from their hangover year, and the Wings have one more Cup run in them if they can stay healthy. Zetterberg's injury really hurt them in the playoffs last year. Franzen's too. They need to have one of those guys scoring.

Go Wings!

I've been keeping my eye on the Jets quite a bit, and am really looking forward to seeing how they do. They're preseason games have looked impressive.

Toronto...Phaneuf has shown some spark in his leadership role during the preseason, which is encouraging. There are some new blood on the team that I've got some high hopes for as well. But I've also heard talk in the newspapers that Burke would consider trading new guys for well established forwards...and that's exactly what the Leafs' problem has been since the late 90's, so hopefully they'll smarten up.

As for the Canucks, we'll just have to wait and see whether they're focused enough to head back to the Cup final.

EnderD_503 · 10-07-2011, 09:40 PM

First game of the season and the Leafs actually won 2-0...first opening game shutout since 2001. They should definitely stick with Reimer in net.

Ranger Butch Force · 10-08-2011, 01:00 AM

I'm a Ducks fan, live with a Red Wing fan, but I think that the Penguins might take it this year.

Eh. It's early in the season. They still have time to choke.

Kings beat the Rangers in OT in Stockholm. Was a good game and Quick was definitely performing well. It'll be interesting to see if he is more stable this year. I watched some of the pre-season and Philly has some possibilities. Their trades during the off-season suggest some possibilities.

I don't know if the Penguins will take it this year. Might be a bit of a longshot. Boston still has one of the best goalies around and some decent offense.

I would love to see Vancouver try again this year (as I know my favs, the Habs, suck and will suck this year again!)

bigbutchmistie · 10-08-2011, 02:35 AM

I am a huge Dallas Stars fan. I am so proud of their 2-1 win tonight over Chicago Blackhawks.

They are looking really good. If they can keep it up they will be hell to contend with in the playoffs. I am excited to see what will happen.

I just wished someone would buy them already.

Same here as far as Vancouver. The Habs aren't doing well so far as far as pre-season/first games. Which does suck, cause they're usually the ones I look to in the early playoffs. Before they dash all of eastern Canada's hopes...

I'm actually really interested in how the Jets will do this year. It would be amazing to see them come in and kick up a storm their first season back in the league.

Meh, I find it doubtful. No doubt they'll make a good run, but I can't see them winning the Cup.
