Volourn Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Define 'much better'. They're both Vezina candidates (though Thomas will deservedly win it). How can you claim Boston a ****ty team? they did alright last year IN SPITE of Thomas NOT because of him. Afterall, this is a guy who lost his starting job and was considered a 'one season wodner' where everybody trashed him except me as I defended him. Now, everyone is right back on the hypociritcal Thomas bandwagon. I know two things - Canucks don't win the President's Trophy or reach game 7 of the finals without Luongo. P.S. What's so great about the Canucks? The Sedins and their minus 1 billion? Kesler and his overhyped weiner? Their patchwork defense put sloppily togetehr? Their totally outclassed coach? Their pathetic criminal fans whoa r eno doubt gonna riot in the streets win or lose game 7 ala '94? HA! Once again, mcuh eaiser to be a great goalie when you have one of the best defensemen in the league playing half the game in front of you. Why do people conviently forget Zdeno Chara?

Volourn Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 boston defense and skaters and goalie and coaches > canuck defense and skaters and goalie and coaches. the Canucks have not won 3 games in the finals b/c of their skaters. They did so b/c of their goalie. The Bruins have not won 3 games in the finals b/c of their goalie. they did so b/c of their skaters. Easy to play goaltender when your skaters get up 4-0 within 10 minutes of the game's start. L0LZ Maybe Thomas can proof he can play when the pressure is on in a tight game during game 7. then again, it's easy to play goalie when you have one of the best defensemen in the entire league.

Kor Qel Droma Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 There's still a few seats available for tonight's game. 1200 for nosebleeds, 12000 for first row. After watching a few games of the final, I can honestly say I'm pretty meh about who wins. Would it be nice to see the Canucks win? Sure, but most of the Vancouver fans where I live are pretty smug, and I couldn't see a Cup helping things. Bring on the draft!! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Krookie Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Just a friendly reminder that I'm feeling grumpy and trigger happy... p-p-p-p-p-power trip let us have an argument bro, it's been the same 6 people posting in this thread for the last 5 years. my teenage virgin ears are the only ones young enough to be offended by anything, and I'm fine with it. arguing is what the internet is for. anyway, i've gone from not caring about this series in the slightest to being pretty excited for tonight. I guess game 7s will make any series interesting. I'm not so much rooting for either team, but I think there will be ups and downs to either side winning. i.e., I would love to see Luongo fail out again and Rechi (sp?) get a cup in his last game, but i'm also kinda pulling for the sedins and all-american ryan kesler. hopefully it'll be a good game regardless of who wins...if the bruins go foranother 6 goals i'm gonna be upset.

Volourn Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah, I'm with you. I didn't care about the series but the goalie drama is so fun. Thomas has been rock solid throughout and Luongo has been a yo yo. Damn near perfect at home, and looking like an amaeture on the road. Should be a fun game 7! Too bad I will most (most) of it due to work. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Kor Qel Droma Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Wow, what a great drive to the net by Recchi. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Hurlshort Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm excited to see Boston win this, if they can hold on. Tim Thomas definitely took the road less traveled to become a great goalie, and it is hard not to be happy for him. Although I guess this means the Joe Thornton trade worked out better for the B's
Kor Qel Droma Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 You've got to hand it to the bruins. They've shut down the highest scoring line in the league for seven games. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Krookie Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 35 save shutout for Thomas seemed fitting for tonight
Cutlock Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Its politics people. Why do you think they put in Luongo even though he got 5 goals allowed? Its a plan. Watch the Canucks win against Boston next year in a Pittsburgh-Detroit Situation. I'm not going outside tomorrow. In Vancouver, when you lose the finals. There is no more outside. I have to hand it to Boston. Forty years. It was only Thomas that got them the win if anything.

Kor Qel Droma Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Kudos to Boston. I wonder what the damage will be from the riot in Vancouver tonight? Luongo may be the popular scapegoat for a while, but there's a bunch of forwards on that Canucks team that didn't bring it to this series. And 0 goals from the back end as well. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Volourn Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Grats to the Bruins. And, as mentioned above, kudos for Thomas for never giving even after getting screwed early on his career. Probably one of the best seasons + playoffs ever for a goalie. "Luongo may be the popular scapegoat for a while, but there's a bunch of forwards on that Canucks team that didn't bring it to this series. And 0 goals from the back end as well." This. A thousand times this. Espicially taking into consideration the 3 Canuck wins were alrgely because of Luongo 'cause even in those games the Canuck forwards/defensemen weren't exactly fantastic. The Bruins were clearly the better tyeam. All 4 of their wins were by 3+ goals. Makes it easier for any goalie - including Thomas - to get things done. One thing I'm happy about I get to see another year of my fellow arrogant Kanadians crying about how we can't even win the most conveted championship in 'our' sport. R00fles!

mr insomniac Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm happy for Kaberle. Otherwise, meh, bring on the draft. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Deraldin Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm happy for Kaberle. Otherwise, meh, bring on the draft. CBC montage is over. 15 days till free agency; 107 days till October.
Krookie Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 i hope the devils can get back to the playoffs after ALL THESE YEARS. but really, this was the first season I couldn't watch my team in the playoffs and it was so sad :'( I know Kovy has a big season in him next year. 40 goals from him. 35 from soon-to-be-made captain zach parise. and elias will benefit from both and finish with 50+ points. at least thats how I'm going to dream about it tonight.
Oerwinde Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm ashamed of my fellow Vancouverites tonight. Vancouver played well tonight, but Boston is just the better team, and no amount of whining about the reffing or conspiracies will change that. Seems the fans in the stands were the only civil ones in the damn city though. Anyone who says a goalie can't win a game didn't see Thomas though. Without him it would have been a very different series. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Volourn Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 "Anyone who says a goalie can't win a game didn't see Thomas though. Without him it would have been a very different series." Disagree. Boston was simply the better team. Vancouver's offense and defense were anemic while Luongo was hot and cold. That said, i agree about the pathetic Vancouver punks. Extremely disgusting and shameful. Scumbags. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

That says something. edit: as far as rioting when you lose...it's just like having a temper tantrum. get over yourselves, you suck and you lost. cry at home. Edited June 16, 2011 by Krookie
