Probably one of the most epic games I've seen in a while.

A series of penalties, come backs, shots, funny bounces, strange goals, and players playing through injuries just to make their contribution count, but a great series. This final game played like pre-lock out hockey with all the neutral zone battles. But, that series winning goal proves you cannot defeat a team of destiny. My team is done, but I hope the best for the Canucks.

Just watched highlights from the last boston/tampa game, that Thomas save with his stick... O_O Insane save.

Re: NHL Playoffs Predictions (Credit Giveaway)

Yeah. Save of the year, no doubt.
On to more recent occurances, HOLY EFF, THE CANUCKS ARE GOING TO THE STANLEY CUP FINALS!!
I'm sorry, but seeing as I was 2-and-a-half last time they did it, this is like a brand new experience for me. My head was hurting all throughout overtime.
A quick Sedin-Sedin magic turned into a beauty Burrows goal halfway through the first, but the Sharks answer back in the second off of a Marleau deflection. Makes you wonder if Kesler didn't pull up lame, would it have gone in?
Third period rolls around, and Luongo loses a gamble and Setoguchi makes no mistake 24 seconds into the third.
Cue crunch time: goalie pulled, icing against the Sharks, and Kesler, lame leg and all, wins the draw and gets in front of the net to tip a Henrik Sedin shot (what a rarity!) past Niemi with 14 seconds to play.
One overtime solves nothing, and it takes a dump-in that hits a bracket and lands where only one man sees it, and he almost flubbed it. Point is, he didn't and Kevin Bieksa scores his 4th of the series (this is a D-man too. What the deuce) and sends the Vancouver Canucks to their 3rd Finals appearance, and become the first Canadian team to reach the Finals twice after the last Canadian team to win a Cup (Montreal - 1993).

History. 18 years since the Cup was brought back to Canada. Many attempts have been made by other teams to get it back.
1994 - Vancouver
2004 - Calgary
2006 - Edmonton
2007 - Ottawa

Now, cue 2011 - Vancouver gets a second chance at it. Will this be their year? Will 40 years of nothing finally show something?
Will Vancouver live up to the tradition of hosting an Olympics and then winning the President's Trophy and the Cup the next year? PS. Check it. It happened both other times. Montreal in 1977 and Calgary in 1989 after they hosted Olympics in 1976 and 1988 respectively.

Last words, great series, San Jose. Many games could've gone your way, and I am unashamed to say you definitely outplayed Vancouver, but thank you, God, for sending my boys back to the Finals.

Also,

Great thread you put up T-Force. I really appreciate it. Keep it going now, and for years on! Chat with all of you later.

Cheers. =)


Also, one last edit.

Out of the 11 participants in this round, the record was: 9-2. Like I said earlier, the only people who picked the Sharks were Canuck haters and Shark fans. Better luck next time.

HAH good one

Re: NHL Playoffs Predictions (Credit Giveaway)

Wow, alright, game 7 it is!

Checked the highlights. TB pulled some really sweet goals tonight. They deserved the win. They kept the pressure during powerplays, got it done. This'll be a VERY interesting game 7.

Re: NHL Playoffs Predictions (Credit Giveaway)

Even though Krejci pots a hat trick, Tampa pulled too far ahead too quickly and Vancouver gets to wait even longer to find out their opponent. Friday night, we shall know.
