Hockey 2010-2011

[smc]

It's hard to imagine that Game 7 will be yet another 1-point victory by the Canucks. It's hard to imagine that yet another game in Vancouver will be won by the Canucks simply because the Bruins team didn't get the "break." It's hard to not to think that this Game 7 will be the anomaly of this series.

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.
