Have you been watching all the games? I have. In fact we even installed cable just to watch the playoffs (how's that for dedication). Even though we're 1500 km's from Vancouver, the hockey fever is big here in our little town. Sports cancelled, meetings cancelled . . . no pressure Canucks :)!

LittleIzumi Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm only sort of joking. Is it a sports team? Which sport? I'm not up on sports. I hear a little about soccer from DH, but otherwise that's it. I'm pretty sure there is only one true Canadian sport. HOCKEY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpe Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Oh this thread is getting very controversial.:) I can back it up though. For example everyone cheered him for his great save(s) in OT at the olympics, but he let in a horrible shot late in the 3rd that caused it to go to OT in the first place. He's done the something similar in half the games of the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelwydd Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yes, GO CANUCKS!!! I hate Boston. Almost as much as I hate Buffalo. And my loathing for Chara knows no bounds. Please, please Vancouver, you must win this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 my loathing for Chara knows no bounds. :iagree: There have been about 100 too many interviews with him these playoffs.

sixpence1978 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm so torn though! I think Vancouver will win tonight, but I'm having trouble routing against Tim Thomas, the man who never stops smiling. I love that guy! I'm really surprised that the Sedin twins haven't been bringing it very much lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for him too, but mostly because there's a lot of pressure on him and he's ... not really that good :leaving: No, he isn't very good. Thomas, on the other hand, rocks the net like crazy. I don't feel sorry for Luongo. I do feel embarrassed for him. The first 5 minutes of Monday night's game was a display of some of the most craptacular defending and goaltending I've ever seen. Truly embarrassing. Thank goodness coach had the sense to pull him out of the net. At that rate of 4 goals per 4.2 minutes, it could have been 52-0 instead of 5-2. Still... GO CANUCKS GO!!!!! It's now or never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Academy Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'll probably be the only one in town not watching the game tonight; hockey really does not interest me. Still, I hope Vancouver wins. Go Canucks! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a goalie mom, I will join you in that camp. As a Sabres fan, I am honor bound to despise the Bruins so: Go, Canucks, go! (But DH, who also despises the Bruins doesn't want the Canucks to win b/c they joined the league the same year as the Sabres and that means the Canucks got the Cup sooner than we did. He's in a lose-lose place, no matter who wins.) Just please, don't let anyone else get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veggiegal Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Ironically, there's more Canadian players on the Bruins team. Or so my trying-to-justify-his-love-of-the-Bruins friend tells me here in Cowtown. And my poor dh was scheduled to give a talk tonight eons ago. Hope he doesn't take it personally when no one shows up. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Wolf and I were rooting for the Lightening...solely for Rollie. We're still ticked off that Edmonton traded him. Idiots. Would love to see him get a ring. I can't bring myself to care much about game 7. Just. Get. It. Over. Already. Playoffs are just lasting too long for me to sustain interest these days. Even Wolf isn't caring much, and that normally has me checking for his pulse. Last time I was pregnant, the Oilers were in the finals. Now, *that* was worth watching :tongue_smilie: Rollie was injured, and that was the end of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have pretty airtight contracts, he'd make millions even if Edmonton was too embarrassed to play him. There's speculation that a conviction would mean he couldn't travel btwn the States and Canada. ETA: I would think being in jail and unable to play would also effect his pay.
