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?

I guess that leaves me out of the running Jen as I've never been a Penguins fan and it's not likely that I ever will.

Or, for that matter, either of these two!

How about if I'm Penguins fan only when they are playing any of the hated southern teams (including Washington)?

I would gladly root for the Penguins(I would still root for the Leafs as well, but I digress...) if it meant that I could date such a beautiful woman(and one that is quite knowledgable in hockey as well!) as you, Jennifer!

Hey, ila, how's this for comfort?

I GOT THERE FIRST, SUCKA!

Even though there is still one period remaining, I don't think there is any chance for the Canucks to tie it up. Pretty pathetic showing by them tonight, so much for the guaranteed win. How many times can Vancouver get scored on shorthanded?

The better team(at least in the Finals for sure) is probably going to win the Cup. Even though I think that some of the Bruins got away with stuff that should have been penalties(not this game, but during the series), they outworked the Canucks in the end. The Canucks had a 2-0 game lead and then they totally fell apart after that(except for game 5).

I do think that Vancouver would have gotten more calls going their way had they not done so much diving. I don't like diving, so I don't like that aspect of the Canucks. No matter how well they played before the Stanley Cup, they will probably be remembered for their choke job in the Finals.

I also think that this will probably crush Luongo's confidence going into next season. He let in way too many bad goals this series, and I don't see it getting any better for him next season.

Thomas will deservedly win the Conn Smythe trophy, as he has stood on his head throughout the Finals(he's had a shaky game or two in the Tampa series, but beyond that he has been stellar). So he will get the Triple Crown(Vezina, Conn Smythe, and Stanley Cup). That's a pretty good year! I wish the Leafs had him(although I still like Reimer). I'll bet that Kaberle is happy that he accepted the trade to Boston.
