Should be an interesting and entertaining final, but I honestly can't see the Canucks losing here.

TSN (Canada's ESPN) got it right as well.

The Canucks are 8-38-7-1 all-time in the Garden and the Bruins have a record of 68-24-15-1 against the Canucks. The last time the Bruins faced them was back in February in which the Bruins beat them 3-1. So honestly I could see the Canucks losing here.

Well the Canucks have home ice. This series will be close. If Boston is going to win they will have to keep the games low scoring.

Vancouver also couldn't beat Chicago in the playoffs and even though they gave up a 3-0 lead, they did it, and have cruised since then for the most part. Everything just seems to be working for them right now, and it should be a very close series...probably because Thomas will keep it that way.

Forgot to mention: Malhotra has been cleared to play in the Finals, as soon as Game 1. It's honestly a mircle. Canucks get a huge emotional boost from it IMO.

Agreed. This is definitely a miracle. If he does play in the Finals, not only does Canucks' depth improve even more, but he would definitely be a shoe-in for the Masterton Trophy next year.

Wait wait wait, so the NHL playoffs start before the NBA, but somehow the Stanley Cup Final starts a day after the NBA?

Well I just want to say as a Bruins fan that there isn't really any other team I wouldn't mind losing to more than the 'Nucks. Their fans deserve the Cup just as much as the Bruin fans, if not more.

YES! Colin Campbell is stepping down from his position as head of NHL discipline. Brendan Shannhan is likely taking over, but it looks like there will be a overhaul to the whole disciplinary system.

Looks like the info about Malhotra was wrong. He WAS cleared to practice but that's it. Missed yesterday's practice, status is uncertain.
Can't wait for the game tonight!

Very undisciplined play during the first two periods (Burrows' biting of Bergeron's glove and Kreiji's cross-check on Hamhuis), but still a very exciting game to watch. 1 down, 3 more to go :D

Wow, that was an exciting (albiet low scoring) game. To me it looked like the Canucks had control for most of the game, and without excellent play of Thomas more goals would have been scored against the Bruins. Can't wait till game 2 :D

I'm from Vancouver and the Canucks make me absolutely sick to my stomach. I'm really hoping the Bruins win this series. So tired of seeing these band wagon nerds walking around with their cheap non authentic jerseys. I'll glue a Lucic jersey to myself if Boston wins lol.

How angry do Islanders fans feel? He traded away a goalie that got a shutout and a player who scored the game winner.

And Burrows takes a big bite of Boston's chances of winning the Cup. Man, how angry must the Bruins and their fans be considering Burrows should be suspended for biting Bergeron...man the NHL better take a class on how to be consistent.

THANK GOD that Campbell is no longer in charge of discipline. Shanahan should have the cahones and the knowledge to make things more consistent and actually matter.

I agree with the leagues decision here, I don't think the bite was intentional.

Great choice of word on cahones, but it is spelled "cajones".

It wasn't like Jarkko Rutuu's bite on Andrew Peters a couple of seasons ago...I mean, if someone jammed their finger in my mouth in a heated scrum it would be hard not to succomb to your biting mechanism

Right but you don't just accidentally close your mouth. Burrows should've been suspended. Hopefully the NHL makes up for by suspending for a dirty hit.

HA! Another LA fan who is jealous! Too bad your baseball team is an embarrassment and the fans are even worse. The only thing you have going for you is your basketball team and even that looks like its coming to an end.

Our fans are some of the best, terrible troll attempt, it's been about 17 straight years of 3 Million fans, fact!! Cubs and Cards fans are up there as well, they didn't just start selling out their (tiny) stadium when the team started spending money and winning. They are now boycotting to get the owner out by the next pay cycle. This city sells out Dodger games, USC games and Laker games on the same day. Hey bro, remember the TD Ameritrade Bank North or whatever Garden chanting "MVP MVP MVP!" a few years ago for Kobe when Boston forgot they even had an NBA team.

I also like how you never posted in this thread until the Bruins reached the Final :lol:
