What's That, America? I Can't Hear You Over Canada Being Awesome

Canucks vs. Bruins, Game #5, final score 1-0 in Canucks favor.

One more win and the cup is ours. I don't care about the cup particularly, I just feel it can hold a few gallons of of liquor. (Also, please don't take this as me being interested in sports. I live on Vancouver Island, and if I'm not cheering on the Canucks, they will kill me and hide the body in Boston.)

In quickly before the cynical wierdos that will denounce Canada/hockey/anything that isn't the quirky nerd thing they were busy masturbating to before checking this thread:

That was some pretty damn good hockey!

Hey, I live in the area (of Boston, that is) and I don't give a damn either. We cool.

I can't help but feel that the next game is gonna turn into a Karate Kid scenario, where the Bruins will "go for the legs" but Luongo will save the day despite his terrible karate-style handicap.

As a side note, there are airhorns and car horns and drunken shenanigans 'round here. Please note, if we wind I will turn into Osterbaum.

Glad to know you think my home city's team is going to go for a cheap shot. Its been a long time in waiting for us to get to the Stanley Cup. It's not every year we get THIS close. Hell, it's hard enough we make it to the eastern conference finals or semi-finals.

Come on Bruins, its been too long we've gotten this far, lets not stop without the cup!

Before I make myself sound like a brat and finalize this post, I would like to add I'm not trying to be. Long anticipation and all that, plus wearing my fathers Bruins shirt, so it's team pride or the highway.

Nah, I just think the image of a dude in full hockey goalie uniform parcticing karate on a post at the beach is pretty funny.

Funnier still if they play "You're The Best!" in the background.

I am from North Carolina, where we get about an inch of snow a year. The fact that we even have a hockey team baffles me. I remember when they won the Stanley Cup. I remember thinking, "we have a hockey team? Why do we have a hockey team?"

And then for the next year or so you'd see nothing but Canes stickers and flags on people's cars. But hey, if Tampa Bay is allowed to have a team, I don't see why we can't either. Canes games are actually pretty fun to attend, and if you live in the Raleigh area, it's pretty much your only professional sports option.

For the longest time I've always wondered why Phoenix had a had hockey team (a hockey team from a mostly desert/very very hot/I don't think snow exists state...really?), but I think they're transferring them somewhere else starting next season.

I'm curious as to what the outcome will be for the Stanley Cup this year. The Habs lost fairly early in the series against the Bruins, but then again I know the Bruins are a very good hockey team, so it could've gone one way or the other (Bruins always seemed to be matched against the Habs in every series, or at least, for the last 2 or 3 years), although, like you said Seil, they might go all Karate Kid-like at the last minute and take the cup home, because I know they've done that against the habs a lot in the past.

I can't remember the last time the Canucks had the cup, but I'm somewhat wishfull that Vancouver wins it this year. I always like it when teams that haven't had the cup in a while gets it (like the Blackhawks a couple years ago, my dad's favorite team).

The Canucks never did got the cup in all the history of Canadian Hockey (Which is kinda embarressing since Vancouver is the place where Stanley Park which honors him resides)

The closest they got was around 1994 where they reached the finals and then fell short... which sparked a HUGE RIOT... Now there are a lot more police in every sporting event since because of it.

I don't really care about it. In fact, that's probably for the best. Every time I watch, Canucks loses. The last time I was forced to watch a game by the family, within 10 minutes of watching it, I predicted the end score accurately... 3-4 Canucks loss. Combo of a Jinx and a medium!

So yeah...
