Stanley Cup Finals - (1) Vancouver Canucks vs (3) Boston Bruins

[SLY]

That was an awesome game. I was very pleased with the play by the Bruins. Pretty even game last night. Ended with an awesome goal, unfortunately he was wearing a blue sweater.

watching Chara flounder around in front of the net on the pp makes me respect Dustin Byfugliens skill level so much more

Byfuglien = soft hands
Chara = big cement, ogre hands

 

[SLY]

If we even had a PP, shit would be a lot less nerve racking.

John Garrett on Sportsnet last night defending the Burrows bite on Bergeron...

Not surprising, but disappointing nonetheless...

What did Bergy expect shoving his fingers in his mouth?

I expect a phone call and a warning/fine.

 

[SLY]

How do you defend a bite? People are fucking stupid...

from hockey2night: always lead with the palm when facewashing

Burrows is a terrific story, an undrafted guy whose relentless hard work and dedication got him out of the ECHL and into the the NHL as a front line player. Is it too much to ask to leave the hair-pulling and biting in the ECHL where it belongs?

you can take the player out of the echl but you cant take the echl out of the player

Yeah, you don't bite a guys finger. That just is not cool, no defending it. That whole thing at the end of the first was stupid, imo. I was glad to see both teams get more discipline later in the game.

Ryan Whitney tweet:

Bruins are in trouble. I think Van knows they didnt even play close to their best game and still won. If they win Sat night it's over.

true ... i dont think Vancouver played a full 60 ... even though no one wants to hear it the rust was there

 

[SLY]

Chara should bite his head off in game 2.

Im not worried. I am more confident after last night to be honest.

 

[mooger_35]

Rust was most evident on the PP. But the first 2 periods were pretty sloppy by both teams... in the 3rd I thought Vancouver cleaned up their game.

 

[4thstreet]

I think Shanahan should make a statement right away,and give Burrows 1 game.

I think thugs in street fights even go by the rules-no biting,hair pulling or nut kicking.

 

[SLY]

Was a pretty gay move. I'm just happy the media caught it.

Bergeron played it up pretty good by playing "smell my finger" with the refs and cameras

Was unable to watch the game last night due to that horrific storm. Just got home from my Brothers who DVRed it for me. Awesome game. I am with Jeff on this one.

1-0 against the best team in the league? In Vancouver. Could have gone either way easily.

Biting incident is just what Julien said. Classless.

 

[SLY]

Perhaps, but it never should have happened to begin with. I'd say the same thing if the roles were reversed. Thats just ridiculous. Shouldn't even go through a players mind.

Cable went out at Sully's. The bar was going bonkers. I had people listening to the game off of my iPhone. Boston looked pretty crazy last night, the weather. I had no idea that shit was even coming.
