Here I was thinking the Canadians were a civilised bunch!

Gutted for Vancouver. The city deserves a cup after years of dedicated support (obviously those d1ckheads who started the riots don't deserve a Stanley Cup win). But Boston were the best side on the night, and in the series. Tim Thomas was an absolute wall. Patrick Roy-esque.
So the last 2 seasons has seen some long droughts ended. Chicago last year ended a 49 year wait for the cup, and now Boston end 39 years of waiting. Any chance that my Sabres can not only end their long wait for a first cup, but also give the wonderful city of Buffalo a first title in ANY of the big 4 sports leagues? I'll keep hoping but very unlikey

Buffalo has been snake bit for too long. They have bee so close, so many times you have to scratch your head.0 -

Don't be ridiculous. The way those "fans" from Van are acting now they don't deserve anything.0 -

Hardly fair on the majority who support their team with pride and class.
In any case here's a video:

The Canucks were a fluke. They won the Presidents Trophy because they play in the worst division in hockey. Any half decent team playing Colorado, Edmonton, Minnesota and Calgary 24 times per season is going to put up huge numbers.
Vancouver now has an anchor around their neck in the form of the most over-paid, over-hyped and under-achieving goaltender in the NHL in Luongo. He has a porcelain spine and will never be an elite goaltender. The Canucks achieved in spite of him, not because of him. Just like Team Canada in the 2010 Olympics.
With the exception of Kesler, and possibly Bieksa, Vancouver is soul-less. A bunch of soft, whining cheap shot artists who should be diving for Diving Plongeon Canada
The true colours of the Vancouver players, organisation and faithful were on display for the world to see. This was this team's one shot at immortality and they came up lacking ....again.
Not a Canucks fan I'm guessing!
Watched the game last night when I went home and they were gutless. No passion, no fight, the Bruins were never going to lose that game. I said in my post yesterday that the scoreline made it look like an easy victory for the Bruins and it was too easy. Another goal or 2 wouldn't have been unjust. The game was over by the start of the 3rd period. 0 -

First of all, let me say (as I have in the past), that Vancouver is a very talented team. I don't think anyone can deny them that. My issue is the constant crying and whining about the officials and the NHL front office conspiring against them. Then you watch the team and you have gutless little pukes like Burrows biting, diving, pulling hair. There is very little 'honour' amongst the Canucks.
I do like Ryan Kesler. I think his a warrior in every respect. He is everything that the higher priced talent on the Canucks should aspire to be. He never quits and battles every shift.0 -

If you think the Canucks names would have dishonored the Stanley Cup, you'd be hard pressed to argue Charra's name doesn't do likewise after that horrible hit on Max Pacioretty back in March.
I have no problem with the Chara hit. I have watched it dozens of times and there was ZERO malice intended and there was not a penalty or suspension called on the play.
While I feel for Pacioretty, he got caught in a bad place. The design of the benches/partitions are in the process of being re-designed because of this accident.0 -

I disagree with your assessment. Max and Charra had priors before this incident and while I don't think Charra wanted to hurt him as bad as he did, I think he wanted to get revenge on Max. I don't buy the design of the rink argument either. Charra should have been aware of where he was on the rink and had the common sense to realise that since he's bigger than most players in the league, there is a much greater chance of him seriously hurting someone if he's not careful.
By the way, there was a penalty called for the hit and Charra did get a game misconduct for it as well.0
