Sedin...but at some point...make a save Bobby Lou..make a fuckin save.

I thought he shoud of stopped the 2nd and 3rd goals. The deflection was slight and a good ways off and that 3rd goal actually went off him. I believe Lou didn't think that backhander was coming. I thought he was going to pass behind for a slapper from the point. Surprised as hell he actually shot that.

Its frustrating when you have the best team on ice and the other teams goalie has outplayed you in EVERY series.. Esp when your goalie is supposed to be THAT good.. Its frustrating.. Its very up and down..

Ah, yes that's pretty shitty for sure. A few racist pukes gives everyone a bad name.

There were similiar articles in Montreal about racial comments directed at PK Subban, French Canadians, and some stuff being tossed at the Habs fans that attended the games.

In Montreal, we are not getting extensive coverage about one team vs the other, but I am sure public opinion here would like to see the Phoenix Coyetes beat the Bruins.

IMO, Canucks have little chance to win unless the refs can controll the slashing and roughing the Bruins are doing after 50% of every whistle.

Oh yeah, the poor little 'Nucks are just being abused and doing nothing at all. Just skate away after the whistle is blown.

So it's the meaningless slashing and roughing after the whistle that's causing their power play to be rendered ineffective, their defense to look tired and vulnerable, their goalie to look questionable and their best forwards to look out of sync?

Vancouver's supposed "captain" gets worked all over the ice physically and can only respond with dives. In fact, both of the Sedins are getting worked over during and after the play and neither sister has responded like a man. Kessler is clearly banged up, the defense looks tired and the power play has been neutralized by a very aggressive PK. I'd say the Bruins are simply outplaying and outworking this team, in addition to intimidating them. Blaming it on the antics after the whistle is totally missing the point.

Who knew that the secret to beating the mighty Canucks was to slash and rough them up after the whistle?

There were two soft goals that Luongo let in for sure. But I guess it doesn't really make any difference where they can't solve Thomas.

Is there anything being mentioned about the PP ?

I think they mentioned Boston was +25 or something 5 on 5....Vancouver was something like +2 or -2.

If Vancouver's PP doesn't go, they are pretty average.

Seriously.

Not sure how you can be considered a great hockey team if you can't weather the standard chippiness of post-whistle playoff hockey. If that's their excuse, that's pretty gutless.

Boston is stacked with more Canadians than Vancouver and that is what I always liked to go by as far as cheering goes once my team is out. As far as Canadian thinking goes that means more Canadians names on the Cup to me and that I like...

More Canuck names on hockey's holy grail makes sense to me too PB

So let's go Bruins

It's nice having a parade for the city (doesn't matter where) but the special thing is when these guys get to bring the cup home for 2 days and celebrate with family and friends who supported them.

When my buddy won the cup in 96 with Colorado he had regular party and then a private party for all his close friends and we drank everything out of that cup that you could think of. You can't do that at the hockey hall of fame.

the nucks just can't handle the style of the bruins the constant hitting throughout the game for 60 minutes is throwing the nucks off the way they want to play. don't get me wrong they are hitting also and are able to keep up for a period but for the whole game i think its getting to them

Soooo Many Dickriders here bro.....

People who arent even hockey fans are coming up to me at work being like "so the nucks are gunna win tonight" or "go nucks go". It sickens me as a hockey fan to see people cheering for something they know nothing about just because its a "Canadian" Team. Its like cheering for the Sens or the dreaded Habs. Like comon people who gives a shit if their CANADIAN....we live in Toronto and have the maple leafs if you havnt forgotten. If you wanna go live on skid row or in that dirty city they call Vancouver....then I have no problem with you cheering your city and team on. Just dont bring that shit to my beer store and expect me not to bash you all the way out the door.

All band Wagon Jumpers meet at Eglington and Bayview Beer Store today at 3:00. I have something in store for you

Cry cry cry ....Want to know how to stop slashing and roughing? ..SCORE when you have the power play. Van has had plenty of power play chances. The hab-nots did a good job of scoring on the power play so Boston was taken off their game and the hab-nots made it to 7. As for fans berating opposing fans....Try visitng some countries when soccer is played. You will be lucky to get out alive if your wearing the wrong colors in the wrong section.

The team itself is unlikable!

Comparing the underdog, hardworking Canucks team from 1994 to this team is comparing apples and oranges

Guys with character and blue collar mentality such as Linden, Craig Adams, Cliff Ronning and Kirk are replaced by arrogant guys like Kesler and Lapierre and the Girly line of the Sedins and Burrows

Lapierre almost single handily turned this series around in game 2

Emotion has so much to do with this game, to me, hockey is the most emotional of all the 4 major sports

Lappy put his fingers to Bergeron's face in that mock bitting incident that started all this in Boston

Maxim Lapierre and Patrice Bergeron know each other and talk to each other in the off season

Patrice is a respected member of that bruins team and what Lapierre did was over the line

The entire Bruins team has rallied around the incident and reminded them the kind of scum on the other side

well said

CBC interviewed some Canucks fans that said when they first got there they were drinking beers with Bruins fans and having fun, but following the Rome/Horton hit things changed...

Racial slurs, threats of violence, and one guy said a group of Bruins fans tried to get into his cab and drag him out.

I'm glad for the city of Boston that a Dodgers incident didn't happen and no fans got beat up because of something that happened on the ice.

It pretty sad how a few idiots can act like over a game.

plenty comments in Vancouver Sun. an unofficial poll calling for Schneider in game five 52.43% to 47.57% alsthough it's doubtful that happens. also craping about the Sedins and Kesler's lack of production.

Where is all the guys that were saying how the B's were not physical at all and the Twins would not have a problem.

Now I am reading how the B''s being physical is knocking the Nucks off thier game.

sheesh.........

The Nucks are just not used to being pushed back.

Hi Lippsman,

When the Canucks lose, it's always Luongo or the Sedins fault. They love Kesler and Burrows though. I like the Canucks but they have the dumbest fans in the league.
