OK Boston Bruins fans – your day in the the sun is here. So what’s it going to be – champs or chumps?
I’ve heard about your hatred of the Canucks. The cheap shots, the dirty play, a team of “skilled” players in contrast to the Bruins’ hard-hitting style. I’ve seen your Bruins beat up the Canucks 17-3 at the Garden, now the question is – can you actually beat these girly men?
The home team has won every single game in this series, as has the team that has scored first. But while Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo has been leakier than Anthony Weiner’s blackberry at the Garden, he’s been consistently a step ahead of Tim Thomas at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena, where game 7 will be held tonight.
I’ll be out in the neighborhood of the Garden to watch the game, and while my rationality tells me the Bruins will win, my instincts tell me the Canucks will hoist the Cup. The Bruins have proven to be deeper, to be more physical, to have the better goaltender – all of the attributes that typically make up a championship caliber team. But the Canucks have proven that they protect their home ice, that their offense can flash on when necessary, and that they’ve got the entirety of Canadian hockey swag behind them.
The Bruins have talked a lot this week about how they were out-muscled in their game 5 loss in Vancouver, vowing not to let this happen again. I can’t get the doomed little thought out of my mind that the Bruins will let the excitement in Rogers Arena get the best of them and over-do the physicality, leading to inadvertent penalties and the Canucks’ prestigious power play finally coming to bite them in the ass. While you all seem to think that I hate the Bruins for some reason, I’m going to pick the Bruins basically in spite of you all. God knows it will make my night that much more fun – so who have you got?
They were definitely out muscled in game 5 – didn’t play their game at all.
I expect the Bruins to win – they have more players who don’t puke on themselves in big moments. In essence, they are winners – they should hoist the cup.
I am gonna have to go with the home team, since they have won every game this series.
If I am the Bruins I am worried about the shot off the boards, it beat them in game 5 and should have resulted in a goal in game 6.
Seems logical to me.
Im gonna go with the team that has outscored the other 15-7, not to mention the hot goalie, and the better defense
B’s 4-2. Big Z is gonna score tonight. Ryder and Lucic too. Looking for a big game from my namesake. My big fear is that he screws up royally like Bill Buckner in ’86. What will I do then?
That sounds logical as well. Nobody knows what’s going to happen in this one.
Im going against whatever Williams picks, that boy has never been correct about anything in sports ever. literally not once in his entire life.
So Canucks win.
first time for everything!
I suppose. Your firsts are always entertaining.
good for you. im glad it happened and i do stand corrected.
