I think the general consensus is wrong. I think that, in addition to the Bruins fine play, the Canucks suffered from three main things: Luongo's inconsistent goaltending and the lack of scoring by the Vancouver forwards (the two things you mention, ila), and the fact that at critical moments the Canucks let their frustration get the better of them and simply did stupid, stupid things. And I don't mean biting and stuff like that, but rather things like going for a hit instead of the puck.

By the way, did everyone catch Mike Millbury referring to the "Sedin Sisters" as "Thelma and Louise"? I can't wait to ask him about the shit he's taken for that. He lives not far from me and I see him at least once a month at the grocery store.

The consensus I was referring to was when we were talking only about Vancouver's performance.

I've been waiting for you to chime in, Jennifer. The answer to your $60,000 question will best be found by meeting me on Saturday, at 11 am, at the corner of Boylston and Tremont Streets, and finding out with me. I'll be wearing the t-shirt with the big Bruins bear kissing a penguin.

It can be whatever you want, Jennifer.

I just returned home from celebrating the Stanley Cup victory by the Boston Bruins with a million other people in the streets of Boston. I got to touch the Stanley Cup while it was held by Zdeno Chara! The only thing missing was Jen.
