Hockey 2010-2011

[smc]

Speaking of goalies (I write this as Luongo comes back, shockingly, for the 3rd period in the Bruins-Canucks game), someone needs to get this kid Robin Lehner from the Binghamton Senators. They just won the Calder Cup and he was the MVP of the post-season.

Boston is definitely outplaying Vancouver in Game 4, but I am getting sick and tired of Marchand being able to continue getting away will all his bullcrap. Call a penalty and get him to stop, otherwise it could escalate as the series goes on(and we have had enough shenanigans to last us true hockey fans a lifetime so far this series).

Back to Vancouver for game 5. I hope that they get their collective heads out of their asses and remember to play hockey again. Luongo also needs to remember to STOP the pucks from going in. I swear, why does he have these meltdowns when they are least needed?

Would you believe he was taking lessons from the Flyers trio of goalies

Of all the stuff to notice in the "bullcrap" category, you mention ONLY Marchand? What do you have to say about the bullcrap Burrows pulled at the end, when he knocked Tim Thomas' stick out of his hand while waiting for the faceoff? There's over-the-top physical play, like Marchand's (note "over-the-top" before you accuse me of excusing it), and then there's bush-league shit like what Burrows did. It reminded me of when Alex Rodriguez tried to slap the ball out of Jonathan Papelbon's glove as they raced for first base.

I wouldn't know what Burrows did as I had turned the game off by then. It was obvious the Canucks weren't coming back to win, so I went onto my computer to finish watching the Jays game(which they barely won!).

I recall that play of ARoid's. I can't believe he thought he wouldn't get called out for that. Even Jeter(who was on first, going to second at the time) couldn't believe he did it. He just shook his head and rolled his eyes. That is just one of the reasons I will never respect ARoid.

With regards to the Finals, it is now back to Vancouver. I don't know what it is with Vancouver. They can play brilliantly, and then forget how to perform even the basics. I honestly don't know if Luongo should start in game 5 or not. I think the Bruins have gotten into his head(he seems to have that problem from time to time, letting the other team get into his head).

I think this series will now go the entire 7 games. Of course, I thought that tonight's game would be decided by one goal, and look how that turned out.

The fact that you didn't see it doesn't change any of what I wrote about the comparison between Marchand's "bullcrap" and "bush league" play by Burrows, Lapierre (and other Canucks). So, when you see it on YouTube or CBC or somewhere, perhaps you'll have a comment.

A one to zip game
I know my friend SMC much prefered the last two games which were blow outs
but i much prefered tonights games not because of who won or lost but because it was a solid game that hinged on a single shot getting by and who could ask for more in a cup game

Not quite. I prefer the OUTCOME of the previous two games to which you prefer, but for pure hockey enjoyment I, too, would rather watch a game like Game 5.

May I take credit for your new signature line?
