The Canucks now have 2 embellishment penalties in this series. So, the only thing we can say conclusively at this point -- and I'm sorry, my Canadian hockey fan friends on this board -- but that kind of bush-league crap seems to be (with the exception of Ovechkin ... see posts above) a uniquely Canadian practice this year, the purview first of the overacting, ham-it-up Montreal team ("oh, look, ref, he hit me so hard that I fell down and flew 20 feet across the ice") and now of Vancouver.

Your "imagination" was correct.
No one-goal game tonight! I will admit that the Canucks have been guilty of diving(which I dislike), but some of the Boston plays have been bad as well. Neither team can claim to be angels this series, but in the end the one that played with more heart(they could have folded up their tents and went "home" after losing the first two games, but they picked up their game and totally turned it around!) is going to win the Cup.
If Vancouver was to lose, I would have preferred the one-goal loss as it would at least have been exciting to the end. Being down 3-0, and with the Boston defense clamping down and blocking shots in front of Thomas, I don't think the Canucks will even get a goal!
