Oh for fuck’s sake. Local politicians should go screw themselves. Then again, what politician hasn’t milked everything to his/her advantage? That was strictly a PR move and it was stupid.

I just wanted to add that Rich Peverly’s beard is getting within striking range of topping Thomas’. He’s about halfway through TSN’s ice chips for tonight.

Rich Peverly is awesome and his beard looks pretty good as well, but Timmy’s is the best.

Let the ass kicking commence!

Time to send those whiners back home with an even series.

Yawn.

I’m just hoping for a good game tonight. No more of that finger-bating, no more injuries. Just 2 good teams, playing good hockey.

I’ll be at Rogers Arena, and we’ll be celebrating with our Canucks, through good and bad.

Hey Bruins fans

I Cane fan here but also a US Hockey fan

Kick Lou’s ass and make him cough up blood

Make the Sedin twins think they are the other one and $%&@ them both up.

Vancouver doesn’t need anything but a kick in their non-existent nuts. Let them go back and watch Fringe and Supernatural reruns.

Go hockey in the US! Perhaps Miller dropped the ball in 2010 but Thomas can pick it up and let Lou cry in his victories of days past.

Go Bruins go!

Love, a Canes fan.

It’s not US vs. Canada.

Doesn’t Vancouver have more Americans than Boston?
Kesler, Higgins, Alberts, Ballard and Schneider
vs
Thomas

Clearly it should be considered in terms of US v Canada…

by BobbyOrrsBastard on Jun 8, 2011 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Yup.

Ironic, eh?

That is not in dispute.....

but there is no way in hell I want Luongo to be the goalie on the Gold Medal team in 2010 AND be the goalie who “brings Stanley back to Canada”

That’s all. Note how I specifically pointed to Luongo and I also know the Sedin twins are not from Canada. I still want hockey in the US to grow and another team south of the 49th is always a good thing.

If there is a team in Canada I would like to see take the hardware home, that would have to be the first team I followed when I started watching hockey:

“Les Habitants”

Hockey in good markets where people care about hockey is a good thing. If that means 2 more teams in Canada, so be it. Hockey is alive and well in many US markets. I don’t think that people in non-hockey markets will really care if the Bruins win The Cup because they are an American team. I hate when people go all WWF with this USA vs. Canada bullshit. The Bruins have more Canadians on their roster than any team in the league and a large portion of the fan base is Canadian too.
