Hockey 2010-2011

[shadows]

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.
