Chara is known as a clean player

Obviously you have been looking away every time Chara takes his multitude of cheap shots at whoever during the Finals.

This his is not much different than what that flying goon Torres does on a nightly basis - and they both leave their feet constantly when making hits like this:

For all people cheering for a Canadian team to win. There are more Americans playing for Vancouver than any other team in the NHL.

No, there aren't, not even close. Are you just winging that, or did you bother to check if it was correct? Carolina, New Jersey (Lamorello's famous for focusing on Americans), New York, Pittsburgh, Colorado and I think Toronto all have more U.S. players and that's just off the top of my head. The only American I can think of on the Canucks is Kesler. I think of them as being a very Euro-centric team what with the Sedins, Erhoff, Salo, Samuelsson, etc.

Edit:yeah, just checked that: there are five Americans in the Vancouver line-up, two of whom are in the press box and one of whom is the back-up goalie. That leaves Kesler and Chris Higgins (oops, Alberts is now dressing, make that three in the starting line-up). There's something like 13 on the Hurricanes, 8 or 9 apiece on the Devils, Rangers, Avalanche, Penguins. In fact, I'd venture to say the Canucks actually have less Americans than most teams in the league so you couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

Sorry Andrewm you're right. I was just going by what some one told me. I wasn't making things up like Mathijs!

Boston thumping Vancouver again tonight

Yes friends we have a series. Boston is up 4 - 0 late in the third period. It almost looks like the Canucks have quit and lost their passion. At least in Boston.

Then again all they need to do is win at home.

I look at his whole career. VC began all the nonsense in Vancouver....now. the B's are playing their style of game..we have a series.

The Nucks appear to have lost their mojo in Boston. Can they get it back? While this Hawks fan would celebrate a Boston Cup winner in a big way, I wonder where the Vancover energy and swagger went? This team looks tired, hurt, and a little bit bewildered after being blitzed the past 2 games. We'll see what they have left in the tank. The B's are feeling it right now. Big mo in their direction. Gonna be some good games this weekend.
Lets Go Bruins!

The Canucks don't bite. They just lightly nibble, but seem to get caught up in the moment and have trouble honoring the safe word.

That sounds about right.They're already planning the parade,that's for sure. I'm surprised Vigneault left Luongo in for all 8(8!) goals the other night. And I think it was telling that all my 'Nucks-loving friends were scrambling to defend that Rome hit and arguing that the only reason he was suspended was because Horton went down so hard. Dudes, try and step back and be objective: the hit was way late, it doesn't matter that "Stevens used to do that all the time". There are rules dealing with late head shots now, okay?

Oh, and I'm super-tired of the Green Men-that sh#t is played out.

OK, we seem to be of one mind when it comes to the hockey, I agree with everything you've said.

So...how do you feel about the stones?

Rather fond of 'em, treacle. Rather fond.

Canucks to have 2 games at home now?



2 1 2 0

Canucks are done. Too soft.

...at least the sticks as you can see....

Bewildered is the perfect word. They looked stunned like they woke up a monster. Which they kind of did.

Now they have 10,000 fans at home cheering the pulling of their starting goalie 3,000 miles away.

Not a good time for a goalie controversy.

They look cooked. Home ice may be their last hope.

Go Bs!

The Sedin sisters are just to soft. Haven't seen them push back once. I've never seen them stand up for themselves yet.

The format actually goes 1-1-1. Next game in Vancouver.Then they go back to Boston and if neccessary game 7 in Vancouver.

The canucks look tired. Their getting outhit all the time. The twins haven't done nothing. They look like playoff pussy's

Blackhawks are still Stanley Cup Champs!

So, judging by the trashtalk here: A girl won the overall points league this regular season, and another girl won the same league last season. What does that tell you about the NHL?

They have some really good girls playing in the league?

...I think people forget these are 2 good teams and that they are tied at 2. Now it's a best of 3...even more intense...this is why they play the games. This is the best series the NHL has had in decades....you have to go back to the 70's and early 80's to compare the excitement and passion in this series so far.

I'll agree with that. I'm rooting for Boston,just because I've always liked the Bruins. The Canucks are a rival of the Sharks.I do want to see a good series and I'd rather see these guys skate instead trying to beat the crap out of each other.

It's amazing how the violence escalates and is allowed in the SC Finals isn't it?

This series has everything! Two teams that really don't like each other. Can the Canucks suck it up back at home? Theu looked shell shocked last night. If they don't want to mix it up and hit they are done.

I predict this: A girl (or maybe some girls) will win the total points league in the playoffs. As in the regular season. Do they still play "Start Me Up" at the match arenas?

The physical play escalated due to Vancouver "Canucklehead" tactics. These guys can't control themselves. Burrows bite, Lapierre taunting Bergeron the following game. Just stupid.Why wake em up? The Bruins can/will bring the physical game. Vancouver can give it, but they can't take it without losing control. Rome takes out Horton with late hit head shot. Bruins said ok, if this is what you want we got some for ya. They have been bringing it hard since the Lapierre finger taunt.

Some good games coming up this weekend guys.Should be fun viewing. Wish it was tonight...

Go B's!

...the NHL could not have asked for a better series. The ratings are really up so it's a sort of re birth for the sport. It is a more violent sport but then so id football. The players all look like they are 6'8
