Canucks in 4. Chara and Horton can fuck each other in public. I hate them.

I do like Timmy T and the Recchinball, and Seidenberg

Time to repost that mind boggling into video featuring a polar bear. I can't even remember the team's name but I want to say they were in Alaska.

That video never gets old. Especially since it features a Laura Branigan song in there when the giant bear destroys the ship.

6/1/2011 4:10:28 PM

Very good game so far, waiting for someone to break the ice. Go Bruins.

This game is a finger-biter.

6/1/2011 10:01:11 PM

WOOOOOOOOOO GO NUCKS GO! What a play by Ryan Kesler to make it happen.

What a game though. This will be an amazing series if tonight is any indication.

Wow, what a way to go down . I feel bad for Thomas he was destroying it. Tough loss. Looking forward to game 2.

Kesler making the case for the Conn Smythe. Unreal.

he's been one of the best goalies in the league for nearly ten years, and i want to punch people in the face when they say he's overrated

1976 Montreal hosts the Olympics - Canadiens win the Cup that same year.

1988 Calgary hosts the Olympics - Flames win the Cup that same year.

2010 Vancouver hosts the Olympics - ....


The only 3 times that Canada has hosted the Olympics.

So much for a Canadian team dragging down the ratings.

Quote :

"NBC drew a 3.2/6 overnight rating for Game 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final last night. Those were the best numbers for a Game 1 since 1999, according to NBC, and up 14% from Game 1 of last year’s Philadelphia/Chicago final. The game peaked during the 10:30-11:00 p.m. ET hour, when the game drew a 3.8/6 for Raffi Torres’ game-winner with 18.5 seconds left. Game 1 scored big time in New England. Boston led all markets with an unsurprising monster of a 25.5/39 rating. This was up 27% from Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final, which drew an 18.8. The game scored a 16.7/24 in Providence, which was also up from Game 7 of the prior series."

I, with 100% of my being, HATE dick vitale. I'd love to see him be eaten by a bear.

I fucking loathe that piece of shit.

I dvrd the game and was somewhat loopy throughtout... but did it seem like Vancouver should have won that game 5-0?

6/2/2011 12:36:21 PM

yes

Timmy T was phenomenal last night

6/2/2011 12:50:07 PM

ps: absolutely loved the amount of chippiness, which was way high for a game one

Quote :

"Edmonton Oiler Gilbert Brule and his girlfriend picked up an unusual hitchhiker in West Vancouver on Tuesday — U2 frontman Bono. Brule and girlfriend Kelsey Nichols were driving to a park to walk Bella, their German shepherd, on Tuesday afternoon near the West Vancouver Yacht club when they spotted a couple of hitchhikers on the side of the road. Brule, watching out the window, was sure one of them was Bono. Nichols, who was driving, didn’t believe him, because, really, why would Bono be hitchhiking in West Van? “I didn’t want to stop, but they waved and G yelled ‘that’s Bono,’” Nichols said Wednesday night at Commonwealth Stadium. “I didn’t believe him so I kept driving.” The couple went on, a short distance anyway, all the while Brule trying to convince Nichols to turn around. Eventually, she agreed. The hitchhikers were still there when they drove up, so they yelled out: “Bono!” He waved and walked over to their truck. The Irishman, who indeed was Bono, asked if they could give him and his assistant a lift to Horseshoe Bay. Of course, Brule and Nichols obliged. Turns out, he and his assistant had gone out for a walk when it started to rain, just before Brule and Nichols happened upon them. On the drive to Horseshoe Bay, Bono and his assistant sat in the back with the couple’s dog. The four chatted about Brule’s hockey career, about Dublin and Bono’s apparent love for Vancouver. Bono mentioned that his band was playing a show in Edmonton on Wednesday and asked if they’d like to go. So Brule and Nichols sold their tickets for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals, bought plane tickets (three, so Brule’s mom could come too) and flew back to Edmonton, where Brule is a forward for the Oilers. Bono got them backstage passes to say thanks for the ride. On Nichols’s pass, he wrote: “Thanks for the ride.” On Brule’s pass, he wrote: “My hero Gilbert.” It was the strangest thing. “We go to walk our dog and Bono ends up in our car,” Brule said. Bono paid tribute to the favour onstage during Wednesday’s concert. “I like ice hockey because people who play ice hockey are the kind of people who pick up hitchhikers,” Bono told the crowd. “I’m ever so grateful. I’ve decided that I want to be Gilbert Brule.” "

It was the next year, not the same year. and all three teams won the presidents trophy, too...

[Edited on June 2, 2011 at 3:55 PM. Reason : 88 the oilers won, 89 was the flames... though mtl won both 76 and 77]

6/2/2011 3:52:33 PM

I was hoping there was some other sort of crazy symmetry that was pointing to a Vancouver win, like the same team winning a certain medal all of those years.

The only thing I see is that the Soviets won the gold in 76 and 88. There goes that pattern.

6/2/2011 4:01:12 PM

^^i think you get the the point i was trying to make. same next

6/2/2011 4:02:51 PM

the same point was made on page 15 in a more concise way

super!

6/2/2011 4:23:32 PM

My friends from the Springfield, MA area were joking last night after the tornado hit that the last time a tornado touched down in Springfield was in '72 - the same year the Bruins last won the cup.

6/2/2011 4:35:48 PM

1988 Calgary hosts the Olympics - Flames win the Cup that same year.

2010 Vancouver hosts the Olympics - ....

Pretty crazy huh?

6/2/2011 6:34:01 PM

hey guys I heard Vancouver would win the Cup because they hosted the Olympics last year. Like Calgary and Montreal before them.

6/2/2011 8:06:21 PM

WAT, NO WAI.

6/2/2011 9:20:41 PM

All i'm sayin is, the oilers won in 88

There's a number of reasons as to why Vancouver will win, but none make the case more concretely than this video:

6/3/2011 6:10:43 PM

The video was removed. Was this the one where the guy went around Vancouver in a Bruins jersey and then at the end said Boston's fucked because of Kesler and what not? That's a good one.

6/3/2011 7:02:24 PM

no, this was a song by 3 tonedeaf kids who are Boston fans. it ranked alongside a Mutombo interview on the unintentional comedy scale.

6/3/2011 7:15:24 PM

it wasn't just tone deaf

they had no sense of rhythm

they were mumbling

and the male kid missed an open street hockey net from ten feet away

AND THEY LEFT IT IN THE VIDEO

jesus
