canucks are winning it all
Hmm, the Steelers are black and gold and the Bruins are black and gold. Hope that is a sign for good things to come.
Don't count out the Wings just yet. They are always a factor, although I think the Sharks will take that series. Of the Sharks Vs Canucks, I'd go with the Canucks...
Early prediction for the Stanley Cup Finals: Canucks Vs Bruins,
'Nucks take it in G6 OT.
'Nucks played like crap and still found a way to win. Burrows is a beast and basically won the game by himself. Fighting off Chara like that is the stuff of legend.
When you stick your finger in a guys mouth you should expect punishment. Acting like a baby running around the ice for a ref crying that a guy bit him was an embarrassment.
Should he have been suspended? Probably. Was he? No. That is life. Don't whine now after game 7 against the Lighting when the "punk" who scored the game winning goal should have been suspended himself.
No one will remember Burrows chomp a decade from now, fans will remember that goal.
Vancouver fans would have freaked out if the situations were reversed, no argument there. There are a lot of band-wagoners on both sides at this point of the season making the die hards look bad.
Torres hit on Seabrook was not worth a suspension in my mind and in the minds of many (but not all of course) hockey fans. In my view it was a hockey play and the league was correct not suspending him. Even if the NHL suspended Torres he would have been back long before game 1 of the finals so you have no point there regardless.
If you believe only Canuck fans will remember that unbelievable goal over a chomp you cannot have followed hockey for long or you are just a frustrated homer yourself. While I don't like that Burrows bit Bergeron, and he probably should have been suspended for game 2, he wasn't and Boston didn't deal with it very well.
The facts are the Canucks have outplayed the Bruins for 6 of the 7 periods (including the very short OT period last night) so far and only need two more wins to raise Lord Stanley. Bruin fans can whine all into summer about what didn't go their way (even though the only reason they are this far is because some idiot was spared a suspension).
Enjoy the ride, the Bruins are far from done and we could have 5 great games left to fight over.
A fantastic goal will always be remembered over some nonsense that happened after the whistle blew. You can call me whatever you want, but that is just how it works.
It is a good thing he isn't on your favorite team because they are either playing golf or losing to the 'Nucks in the finals. What do I care if you like him or not? He wasn't suspended and scored two big goals to put my team in a great position to take home the cup; I like him a lot right now.
If you thought the NHL had credibility suspension-wise prior to these playoffs you haven't followed close enough in recent years. They are all over the place and they have been wrong a few times in these playoffs in my view.
Torres being suspended means nothing now, you're just clutching at straws. Burrows fortunately for me wasn't suspended and had a huge impact on game 2. Deal with it buddy.
Biting a guys finger that was put in his mouth doesn't really compare to what the Flyers did in the 70's. The NHL has been cracking down for years now and suspensions have just became more and more ridiculous.
I am not using Boston to defend Burrows or Torres. You brought Torres up and I explained why he was not relevant. I could have brought up the goon who gave the finger to the crowd in Montreal and was not suspended but it had nothing to do with this series.
Boston fans are now whining about Burrows not being suspended when they had the exact same fortune just a week or so ago. How is that defending Burrows? I have repeatedly said I thought he should have been suspended but the NHL dropped the ball and it just so happened to help my team out a lot. Just like the NHL not suspending Horton helped them out.
Burrows shouldn't have bit Bergeron's finger. It didn't reflect well on the team or him as a person, but you are going way overboard with your assertions. If you think a questionable hit here, or a bite there is destroying the game and the NHL..Well, you might as well stop watching now and go buy a Heat jersey.
The guy stuffed his finger in his mouth (which is not a face wash by the way, oh and I'm not sure what a face "mash" is) and he gave it a chomp. Classless? Perhaps, but you are just blowing hot air at this point.
So you know exactly what was in Torres head eh? What I see when I watch the clip is Seabrook lowering his head as he plays the puck, the absolutely dumbest thing you can do in that situation. Torres hit was questionable, but thats all it was. Torres didn't leave his feet, and timed the hit perfectly.
Just the fact you keep bringing up Torres says it all.
Seabrook was in the act of playing the puck, yes, and you don't lower your head in that area of the ice in that situation, period. He opened himself up to that hit and while Torres should have kept his elbow tucked closer to his body to avoid getting it up on Seabrook if he did lower his head, he served a penalty for that mistake and that was that.
One last time, Burrows should have never bitten him and should have been suspended, but it isn't like he grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go. Bergeron's finger wouldn't have been bitten if he didn't poke that finger in Burrows mouth, seems like common sense to me. Biting is not a hockey play, no doubt, neither is shoving your freakin' finger in a guys mouth.
