Hopefully there aren't any riots in Vancouver...

Might be a slightly more constrained version of 1994, since policing these days is better, but I'm not surprised that people will go about with riots. I mean, I hardly watch hockey myself, and even I'm frustrated to see this outcome.

Not a very good game on Canucks part. Boston played exceptionally well! Good on you guys, and congratulations. We'll win next time. :]

Sorry, I worded it wrong. Hopefully, people don't get seriously injured, or get to the point of destroying cars and business areas, or loot.

This was a great series. First team to score did win the game. It's unfortunate for the Vancouver players and fans to lose at home when it seemed like this was a homefield advantage series. Credit to the Bruins. Enjoy Boston fans.

I switched to the news channel and the first thing I see is "Vancouver fans rampage after canucks lose"

vehicles being set on fire, beer bottles and shit being thrown, etc.

Re: NHL Playoffs Predictions (Credit Giveaway)

Well the playoffs this year sure had its ups and downs. My list:

Ups
- Chicago out in the first round
- Tampa Bay taking out Washington in 4 games
- Rinne's outstanding goaltending, even though they lost
- Winnipeg has a team again (hey, it happened during the playoffs, so it still counts)
- Kesler's "beast mode" (ty T-Force)

Downs
- THE OFFICIATING
- The poor performance from what should have been major stars - The Sedin twins, Ovechkin, Luongo (in the last couple games anyways)
- Philly not winning one game against Boston
- Pheonix not winning one game against Detroit (almost inevitable, but it would have been nice)

Anything you feel I missed? Its just my list, feel free to make your own.

Also, its already happened guys - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...st-game-7.html

What I dislike... is that the actions of a few people get Vancouver bad rep. 99.9% of the Canucks fans ARE NOT RIOTING! If anyone was thinking about it, don't classify the whole city/country in with those stupid people.

Hahahaha, stay away from the edge of your seat. I took a few laps down South Fraser Way here in Abbotsford. There's still a fair few of us still celebrating.

Welp, 107 games, 8 months, 1 fantastic sport.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is over. The Boston Bruins are your 2010-11 Stanley Cup champions after a VERY convincing 4-0 shutout of the Vancouver Canucks, in Vancouver.
Very solid defensive game by the Bruins. They got to every rebound, got in front of too many shots, and caused havoc all around. I tip my hat to them for a great series and a great season.

Tim Thomas. 37. Lost his starting job last season and turned it around and became this: Conn Smythe winner and Stanley Cup champion.

And, no matter what, I still have a few bright sides with Boston. Recchi wins his 3rd Cup with his 3rd different team. Fun fact. 20 years separate 2 of his Cups. 1990-91 with Pittsburgh, 2010-11 with Boston. If any of you feel old, just think about that for a moment.

And Milan Lucic. Wow. Born in Vancouver. Won a Memorial Cup with the Vancouver Giants the year Vancouver hosts. Wins a Stanley Cup in Vancouver as part of Boston. There truly is no place like home.

And, all-in-all, I'm still happy with my boys. They had one fantastic season, and gave hope to a new generation of fans. They'll be back soon.
There's always next year.

What I dislike... is that the actions of a few people get Vancouver bad rep. 99.9% of the Canucks fans ARE NOT RIOTING! If anyone was thinking about it, don't classify the whole city/country in with those stupid people.

Not to mention, $2 says that the only rioters are drunks, or bandwagoners. True fans will have appreciated their team for a fantastic year, and won't dwell too hard on this.



NOW THEN, to the awards.

Out of the 11 pickers this round, only 3 of you picked Boston. Much congratulations to VarleyisDance for winning the bonus credits by correctly guessing Boston in 7.

I will be sending everyone's credits out momentarily.

Also, a big congrats to TC_Cyrenics for being this year's top picker by going 10-5. The only person to reach double digits. I'll be whipping up a nice little something for you.



Well guys, it's been fun. Hope to host something like this next season.

Cheers.

No one should ever classify a fanbase because of a troll/bandwagon fan. Common sense. You should check out the ESPN forums.

How bad are they harping on us?

Also, the worst part of the end of the run: shaving the beard.

Before.


After.
