Torts hired by Vancouver (that situation could be funny to watch)

I would love it (for many reasons) if the Rangers got their stuff together and played Vancouver in the finals next year.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Looking at the Bruins is like looking in the mirror. I have mad respect for the Bruins. I love their game.

The Bruins gave up 2 goals in a four game series (including a double OT game) to the Penguins in the Eastern Conference Finals. They gave up 2 goals in 17 seconds last night to lose a chance at Game 7. #ILoveThisGame

It was hard to build up dislike for Chicago...

From what I've seen, most Hawks fans feel the same way back.

Lots of respect and a bunch of Bruins that we'd take on our team any day.

Jeebus, Lucic is a scary human. What a beast.


For comparison, I can't think of a single Canuck I'd want. Seriously.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Feeling a little detached. Ending almost doesn't seem real.

It hurts, no question...but I like Chicago. Always have. I can live losing to them, there's no hate there. They play the right way and were the better team. Hard to be angry about losing to the better team.

Now had they lost in 2011....well. Whole other story. I'd have multiple broken things in my room.

It was hard to build up dislike for Chicago...certainly nothing like Pittsburgh, Montreal or Vancouver. I wouldn't even rank them as high as New York, Philly or Washington on the dislike scale. Even after last night I wouldn't put them that high. Considering this playoff season should have ended with a loss in game 7 to Toronto in the first round, with subsequent roster moves and perhaps a coaching change, this was a pretty good ride. Boston won 10 of 12 after the remarkable game 7 comeback and was 2 wins away from another Cup. Sweeping Pittsburgh was especially sweet. Now the off-season begins and we'll see what kind of roster moves Chiarelli and Neely can put together even though they are losing $6M off the cap.

As much as I love to play hockey and watch it, the Stanley Cup playoffs need to end before June. With the number of southern markets, and people looking at summer as the time to be outside, it just doesn't make good sense to play hockey at this time of year.

Tell that to the highest rated Finals ever..

I like that the draft is 5 days away an free agency opens in 10. Before we know it football will be here and that'll keep us occupied til the puck drops once again.

Where'd Boston boy TimP slink off to?


"Oh wat a beautiful game. We'll sweep the Penguins and then destroy whatever sacrificial lamb the West serves up. The Cup's coming home again! History will be made!"

"It doesn't matter how they look, the Bruins will still destroy them."

"Don't insult me like that. I know a championship-caliber team when I see one, and this is it."

"Now boarding the Pittsburgh Penguins' charter flight to the ditch. Get ready Chicago. You're next!"


Memo to TimP from Boston. The Hawks aren't the Penguins.

Don't quite understand why you'd make a distinction between the two??

My mistake.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

I really enjoyed the whole series of games. at the same time, two ice hockey games after the summer solstice??

The only way Betttman would ever be cheered is if he were presenting the Sabres with the Cup in Buffalo. They'd cheer if Satan presented it.
