Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs III: History Will Be Made
I have lost some respect for a few of the Vancouver players, namely Lapaierre and Borrows. Both are whiny diving *****s who are clearly used to and expecting preferential treatments from the refs. The best part had to have been when Lapierre gets hit and grabs his face, realizes no call is coming, than continues to skate. That’s just a disgrace to the game. At last the forward who accidentally shot it into the bruins bench was classy though ( who was that again?).
Vancouver chirped and acted like dicks, and now instead of being up 3-0, they are up only 2-1 in a series that has been as close as you could get. As I maintained, they could just as easily be down 3-0, as Boston matches up well ( in my opinion) against Vancouver’s style - especially their PP. Boston’s coaching staff will keep this club at a level head, but I really like Boston’s chances in game 4. They need to continue doing what they did in games 1, 2, and 3 – even though it didn’t get the W in the first game. I liked the east/west even at times if it was one too many passes.
Also Timmy Thomas… what a beast. Someone crowds his net and he decks them. You gotta love this guy. He has a bit of Hasek in him.
Rome needs to be suspended. Bruins players were suspended for less. That hit was late, leading with an elbow, and left his feet. There was nothing ‘stevens-esque’ about it. Stevens was just mean, but his hits were clean.
