A-Mac Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm a Flames fan myself but been at GM Place (what I'll always call it) a couple of times to see the Canucks, and with Vancouver being one of my all-time favourite cities, I can only say..... .....'mon the Canadians! As a Flame myself, i tried to do this, but couldn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_bairn_1876 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Been at GM Place (Rogers Arena sounds filthy about 7 times, Fell in love with the game 5 years ago and been a Canucks fan ever since. C'mon the Nucks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_bairn_1876 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Also before we were talking about Rome's hit on Thornton. But how come nothing was done about Johnny Boychuck's hit on Mason Raymond that resulted in a fractured vertebrae? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) C'mon Boston. Would love to see all the gutted faces tonight/tomorrow. Plus I've seen Boston play and like the city better. Vancouver's overrated imo. Edited June 15, 2011 by Bonksy+HisChristianParade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looks like you're getting your way. Canucks 3-0 down after 2, cheap cheap goals to let in in the second. Gutted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Delighted to see the Bruins win the cup. They've really grinded right through every round and I think it was well deserved. Well done Boston! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Mac Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 He's right, it was a late hit and as such interference, but it was not that late at all, less than a second. Horton was watching his pass for a split second too long which contributed to the severity of the collision. Still a penalty, still a 5 minute major given the NHL's (stupid) policy on injuries determining penalties, but a 4 game suspension in the SCF? When the previous biggest suspension ever was given in the SCF is 1 game? At worst, it's comparable to Pronger's elbow in the 2007 Finals which got him a game suspension. A relatively easy suspension for the NHL given that it was Rome, but it really was nowhere near the worst hit of these playoffs, never mind the worst hit in the history of the Finals (by a long way judging by the disciplinary system). Shoulder to head, he left the ice to make the hit. It's illegal is every aspect, he moved & pivoted to make the hit, while striding out to do it. He could have easily stopped, or not even pivoted to come back at Horton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol in Battlestar Galactica) stuck this up on his Twitter last night: Dear Riot Police: Carte Blanche. Take those fuckers down. Pepper spray, rubber bullets, live ammo. Go hard. Those people do not rep. us. Which I took to mean the Canucks got skelped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened last time they lost in the final as well. Seems like a perfectly good reason to wreck your own city. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
