Hockey 2010-2011

And Vancouver is going to the STANLEY CUP FINALS!!!!!!

A goal by Kevin Bieksa in the 2nd overtime ended the game. I can't take anything away from the Sharks as they played a great series(except for the 7-3 game) and gave the Canucks a battle!

Luongo played great, particularly in both OTs, as did Niemi. It is a shame that the game ended on a weird bounce, but I am happy that the bounce went the way of the Canuck's.

Both Thornton and Kesler played great, especially due to the fact that they were both playing injured. You could tell that the refs put the whistles away after the third period as there were a few that weren't called(for both sides).

Congratulations to the Vancouver Canucks, and I hope that you will face Boston in the Finals!

Tampa Bay 5, Boston 4. That was a tough one to watch.

I still think the Bruins will pull it out. Game 7, Friday, in Boston.

Boston should have finished them off in game five instead of letting them hang around my Penguins did the same stupid thing Tampa should have been sent home to the golfcourse a long time ago

Well, you already know that I agree with you on everything above, although I would go further and say that there should be no southern teams so that your rule doesn't have to apply.

It's supposed to hit 90 in Boston on Monday, and in the 80s over the weekend, by the way.

I think a couple of positives can be taken from the game. One, Roloson let in 4 goals on 20 shots, so he is still shaky in net. Two, David Krejci scored a hat trick, and is on a tear.

I think Boston will prevail. Game #7 is in Boston, so the Bruins should be able to feed off the energy of the fans.

Two hours and fify-four minutes until the puck drops! The suspense is killing me.

Be sure to post in this thread once the game is over so we know the suspense wasn't successful.

I'm exhausted just from watching the first period. Even my television is sweating bullets!

Thankfully your nightmare won't come true (at least this year).
