[SLY]

Matt, going to the game tonight?

 

[SLY]

i cant imagine.... So much pressure on both teams.

 

[mattola]

One thing that no one has pointed out is that this will be the second time in history that a non North American Captain will Hoist the Stanley Cup.

Im Hoping its a Swede

I slept like a baby. If that baby had 3 beers and 4 X 25 year old Highland Park

If the Bruins want to win this series, they gotta stay out of the penalty box, that Canucks PP is a killer. 5-on-5, I like the Bruins chances.

Agreed. I hope we learned from the Lightning and keep our play going like in game 7.

It really irks me that people will be saying shit like that forever if the Bruins go on to win... Not that I care, cause I just want the Cup. But I guess the same goes for Vancouver... I guess both these teams were pre-determined by the league according to every non-Bruin/non-Canuck fan.

 

[mattola]

Agreed. I hope we learned from the Lightning and keep our play going like in game 7.

yeah It makes me nervous a bit how lopsided that is but I think the Canucks are a strong enough 5 on 5 team to make it close to even with a slight edge to the Bruins in goal differential.

5 on 5 - Edge Bruins
PP - Edge Canucks
PK - Even (Although the Canucks since game 3 vs Sharks have been spectacular)
Defense - Slight Edge Canucks
Offense - Edge Canucks
Goaltending - Even
Coaching - Even
Fan Support - Even
SportsHoopla Board Drinkers - Even. Slight edge to Sly.......

Edge? LMFAO... We are off the fucking cliff... The whole mountain is yours there.

edit: lmao, I missed that.

 

[SLY]

I agree with most of what you said... Except, I give an edge in coaching to AV, and not trying to sound like a homer, but I give the edge to TT in net. Yes he has been slightly hot and cold as of recent, but he knows when to turn it on. Again, not taking anything away from Luongo, but this year, TT.

I dont think there is one Bruins fan, at least on SportsHoopla, that would argue that point.

if malhotra gets in ... edge canucks

on monday when they practiced special teams, he was destroying guys in the faceoff circle and the first unit pk with he and Lapierre were dominating

/that being said ... i dont think the pp was working it to the points for shots
