For the second game in row, the Bruins looked like a team on a mission as they shutout the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 in Game 4 on Wednesday night at TD Garden to even the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Finals at 2-2. Tim Thomas held down the fort with 38 saves, while Rich Peverley (2 goals), Michael Ryder, and Brad Marchand provided the offense.
Rich Peverley opened the scoring for the Bruins 11:59 into the game. Zdeno Chara sent a long diagonal pass from his own zone to David Krejci along the right wing boards in the neutral zone. Krejci made a quick one-touch pass to Rich Peverley a stride outside the blue line. Peverley gained the zone and got Raffi Torres to over-commit, which created a clear breakaway for Peverley before snapping a shot through the five-hole of Roberto Luongo. The goal was Peverley's 3rd goal of the postseason.
Michael Ryder increase the Bruins' lead to 2-0 at 11:11 of the second period when his quick release wrister from the top of the left circle deflected off the stick of Vancouver defenseman Sami Salo and knuckled under the glove of Roberto Luongo for #73's 7th goal of the playoffs.
Brad Marchand made it a 3-goal lead 2:18 later when he roofed a backhander over Luongo's glove. Patrice Bergeron won a battle for the puck behind the net and shoveled it out front to Marchand, who chipped the backhander home.
Rich Peverley's second goal of the game made it 4-0. Milan Lucic made a self-pass, jumped around Kevin Bieksa, regained possession of the puck, and directed the puck towards the net. Peverley was driving to the goal and tipped the puck past Luongo 3:39 into the third period. The goal chased Luongo from the game and forced former BC Eagle and Marblehead native Cory Schneider into action.
Things got ugly late in the game. With 2:27 left in the game Brad Marchand took down Keith Ballard in the corner. As the penalty on Marchand was being whistled, Daniel Sedin took a run at Marchand. Marchand ducked under Sedin's hit and flipped him over, which brought everyone together in a scrum. During the scrum, Adam McQuaid appeared to welcome all challengers, but no one wanted to take a shot at the mulleted maniac. Just over 30 seconds later, Alex Burrows tried to chop the stick out of Tim Thomas' hand. Thomas reacted to Burrows' chop by giving a Burrow's a swinging slash with his goal stick on the leg, which brought everyone together once again.
Notes & Quotes:
- Bobby Orr was the honorary captain for tonight's game and held a Horton #18 banner during the pre-game ceremony. As several people on Twitter pointed out, the Bruins scored 8 goals on Cam Neely's night as honorary captain and 4 goals on Bobby Orr's night as honorary captain.
- Marc Savard was at TD Garden tonight.
- Nathan Horton was also in building and was in the dressing room after the game to pass "The Jacket" along to Rich Peverley.
- Milan Lucic led the Bruins in shots (5) and was the co-leader in hots (4).
- The Bruins have outscored the Canucks 12-1 over the last two games.
- Claude Julien broke a Bruins record for most coaching wins in a postseason with 14 wins. Mike MIlbury previous held the record with 13 wins in 1991. This is somewhat of a pointless stat because the NHL has changed the playoff format several times.
Zdeno Chara on what motivated the Bruins tonight:
"Like I said before, it’s Stanley Cup Finals and everybody’s really motivated, everybody’s excited, and it’s that time of the year that you shouldn’t need much to get motivated for. I mean it’s right in front of us."
Shawn Thornton on Nathan Horton being in the room after the game:
"It was awesome…he’s such a good team guy. He does everything for us and he has all year, everybody on this team loves him. He makes everyone around him feel better about themselves. I mean I can’t, I don’t think I’ve ever met a more positive guy in the room. So for him to come in, the guys were pretty excited. I didn’t even know he was here until he walked out to give the jacket. That was a pretty nice surprise."
Henrik Sedin when asked how to solve Tim Thomas:
"I don’t know, do you have an answer for me?"
Cory Schneider when asked if he allowed himself to realize he was playing in a Stanley Cup Final game in his hometown:
"Maybe after it’ll sink it, but at that point it was just a game that I was trying to hold down the fort in and give the guys some momentum. So maybe after the fact it will feel like that but at the time it was another hockey game that you have to do your best in."
Roberto Luongo on Michael Ryder's goal:
"Sami [Salo] tried to block it and you know it was going high glove and it dropped about three feet, so I don’t know what else I could say about that. You know, I mean I was out, I was challenging, I was ready and it just dropped. Obviously, it’s probably going to be viewed as a bad goal and I don’t know what else to do on that play."
Tyler Seguin on the crowd chanting "Nathan Horton":
"It was special. I was on the bench and you hear it, it kind of gives you goose bumps a little bit. It’s just nice knowing that the fans felt the same way we do. We have him in the back of our mind at all times."
Brad Marchand on his style of play:
"Obviously, it’s helped my game to try and be a bit of a rat out there."
Rich Peverley on how it felt to contribute offensively:
"Yeah you know whenever you can contribute offensively you want to be able to help out. I thought the whole team did a good job of bringing a lot of energy tonight."

For me it’s Sedin holding his head and ending any illusion of being a tough guy. I don’t wish ill on anyone but after coming in full speed for a hit well after the whistle it makes the schadenfreude all the more delicious.
Also <3 Chris Kelly.
Did Sedin...
…actually think Marchand was just going to coast along the boards and let him lay him out? Idiot. I would have ducked too…it’s what you do when a guy a foot taller than you is rushing you.
I don’t know what crossroads Timmy went to…to make his deal with whatever power is helping him play like this, but he was/is simply awesome. Embrace the moment, my man. No one deserves this more than you.
I actually have to take back some of the Claude-hating stuff I have said. Sometimes, with this system, the B’s look as exciting as week-old bread, but…they have gotten it done. Good calls with all the adjustments and personnel decisions.
Also tied to this, Ryder, Ference, Caberle, Paille and the other one-dimensional whipping boys are playing the way we usually only imagine they could. Here too, Claude’s glacially patient style with personnel he believes in is paying off. And now they are just 2 wins away. And no, I don’t care if it was Horts they are rallying around, or they’ve finally realized “Hey, it’s THE STANLEY FRIGGIN CUP FINALS!”- I’m just glad they have woken up, and they stay up for two more games!
Wonder if that Vancouver fan still doesn’t think the Bruins could come back and win 4 in a row? Right now, I’d get to the bank with that check before the ink dries.

Claude’s patience has indeed paid off. Ryder has been outstanding in this series; he’s maybe been their best forward (it’s him or Marchand). I think Boston has finally just accepted that he is what he is: a very talented, but streaky player who will play hard when the stars are favorably aligned. You can live with that from a bottom 6 forward. (Maybe not at $4M per year, but that’s a question for another day.)
I can live with the way Ryder plays in the regular season
if this is his game in the playoffs. no argument here.
For Horton!
I like your style. Want to help me hunt down Rome and put his head on a stick in the Common? (still bitter about Horton)

He got three separate minors on that play. Ordinarily, I’d be pissed about that, but at 4-0 with 2 min to go, it’s awesome. And if he gets someone to take a run at him in game 5 and take a stupid penalty, so much the better.
I’ve seen Donald Brashear do that once, it’s pretty rare.

hopefully
they’re aggravated enough by Marshy that they’ll start taking more dumb penalties trying to get under his skin/take him out.
For Horton!
My favourite thing..
-My favourite thing about this, is that immediately after it happens Marchand drops the gloves, and is ready to go. No backing down, he knew that someone would be upset and he was ready to defend himself…unlike Erhoff..who grabs Marchand while he is engaged with Ballard, and then completley turtles when McQuaid wants a piece…to be fair..if I was looking at McQuaid I would turtle too…you add that mullet to those eyes…they are Bouchard-esque…
-Also..did anyone watch Kesler throw the punch at Chara…and then almost fall down trying to back up when Chara tried to get at him..looked like he was a fighting basketball player. I showed it to my students today, they got a kick out of it:)
Agreed....
It was almost comical tgo see McQuaid in the corner there….it was like a Grade 7 dance and he couldnt find a partner. Once his gloves were off all you see is the Canucks looking around to see who was going to stand up to him and it was no one. He looks scary when hes ready to go.
I like Kessler but he should know better than to poke the bear. Its just not smart.
For Horton!!
A big +1 for Timmy Thomas from a Blackhawks Fan
He’s always been a goalie with a reputation for being aggressive with forwards that want to set up shop in his crease but his play the last couple of games has earned some major respect points from me, especially considering the Canucks choose to treat him like a lay-z-boy recliner whenever they damn well please. Kudos to Thomas for picking his spots well (the Sedin smash in game 3 and the Whack-a-Burrows in Game 4) and sending the message that he won’t abide shenanigans without being a detriment to his team. I can’t really bring myself to say go Bruins (no ill will but it doesn’t seem right to cheer for any team that isn’ t the Hawks), however, Go the anti-Nucks! Go Timmy Thomas! GO USA!
Am I paranoid? I don't know. I went to a therapist once, but I left before he gave me the diagnosis, cause he had it out for me.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take- Wayne Gretzky's dad
Actually, Henrik, I do have an answer for you: shoot the puck more. You didn’t take a shot for 3 full games. Irrespective of your skill level, I can guarantee that you will go scoreless if you have no shots. Wait, why am I saying this? Forget it, keep up the good work, Henrik.
If I were a Canucks fan, I’d be out of my mind p.o.‘d hearing his comment. Say you’re going to work on it. Say you’re going to talk to the coach. Say you’re going to watch film. Do NOT say, “I don’t know, do you have an answer for me?” Un-be-freakin-liev-able.
Crosby, Stamkos, et. al. kinda have an idea of how to answer questions, but these guys obviously don’t. And if you’re the biggest star on that team, that’s a big issue.
what's worse...
I would flip the fuck out if the Bruins were playing like that and someone on the top line said, "We have to keep doing the things we are." …especially a guy who has taken like 3 shots in the entire series. Seriously?!

I guess we stole their milk money
Per an SI article
“I’m sure the referees are going to take a look at that. It’s not the first time it happened, and it’s not going to be the last time,” Sedin said of the interaction Thomas and Burrows shared. “So we’re hoping … the referees are looking at the same tape that we are. … They’re going to see what goes on with Thomas and [Zdeno] Chara right in front, and they’re going to have to call those. That’s not going to continue.”
might want to rewind that tape to the multiple times Timmy gets his stick slashed. That’s clearly a directive coming from the coaching staff given how much that happened. That’s what the referees should be looking at.
Exactly. I’m sorry but Burrows deserved that. Try to beat up the goalie and you DON’T think he’s going to fight back. This is Tim effing Thomas. He doesn’t back down. And Sedin was in Thomas’s crease in game 3. He’s allowed to clear out the trash.
The Canucks for a ‘tough’ team really are just a bunch of punk Fake Tough Guys (FTG). Yes I’m calling them FTGs.
Amazingly (and I can't believe I'm about to say this...)
…NBC will be the one that kept that call honest. Creds to them for showing the ENTIRE chain of events, rather than what AV is whining about.

This is hard evidence of how much Thomas and the B’s have thrown the Sedins off their game.
Every post game they are whining about something, trying to get the refs to solve their problems. This quote and the quote about solving Thomas “I don’t know …. do you have an answer for me” are absolutely shocking. I’ve never seen a team so on tilt. Often we have the impression that the Bs will impose their will on team we consider to be not be a physical team (a bunch of pussies), Montreal is the main example, yet it is definitely an exception when the Habs don’t give us everything we can handle. Because of the Habs I’ve come to expect every team to give us their best punch every night, I’m surprise how the Canucks wilted in Boston, really the first time they’ve faced adversity since vs Chicago.
All playoffs I was hoping Vancouver would win the west, because I believed that the pressure from the people of the city/country would get to them and that they would eventually choke(Mainly I was terrified of Detroit). After the ease in which they beat SJ and lets be honest, they dominated Games 1-2 of this series, I was eating my words. It looked like we’d never stop their forecheck, to not escape with a win was pretty close to a death-blow.
There is no doubt the hit turned the tide. We’ve all seen this before 2002 McLaren on Zednik (I was there that night). The talk for this last week has been does momentum carry over from game to game. The talking heads say no, I disagree, it does and it’s up to the team on the ropes to turn it back …. They are definitely capable of regaining momentum and home ice is the way they will do it (If they do it at all).
The road only gets tougher from here.
Go Bruins Go!

Detroit, while tough, is sunsetting. I have nothing but respect for those guys…I mean Babcock I a gentleman and a true coach, but as SJ has figured them out twice, I’m definitely thinking next year will be better when the Sharks actually start playing games BEFORE. January. Shitload of injuries, even before the playoffs. Jumbo has a separated shoulder an the tip of one finger broken off, but he still wanted to fight Bieska in G1. spoke volumes when Bieska backed down. Beat part of Jumbo is his Bruins pedigre and when it shines through.
Nothing for the B’s to fear in the Canucks. Just keep pressuring the puckholders, and controlling the lanes. B’s have them figured out—it is now just a battle of nerves and will.
Go get ’em, Bruins!

…Lead the league in takeaways, and completely transformed himself into an incredible 2-way player. His scoring suffered, but, as the Captain, I believe his ability to feed goals by others served to help lift the rest of the team.
And yeah, he never forgot his pedigree. That’s why I love the guy.

BTW....
Why does everyone, it seems to me, outside of the Boston fan base think that ‘on paper’ Vancouver is the superior team? That knucklehead Cotsonika keeps printing that, yet under the current NHL regular season scheduling/format, there is, in my opinion, NO objective way to rate how much better one conference is over the other. Not enough of a ‘sample’ straight up against the oppostion (We played Vancouver ONCE in the regular season), and not enough of a sample against common opponents either. This season long drumbeat of ‘The Western Conference is Better’ is totally ridiculous. Look at these finals. Even though we have played 12+ periods of almost flawless hockey, everyone outside of Boston seems to be amazed that the Cunucks don’t just blow us out.
I think that the reasoning has to do with the West generally being the more competitive conference, as it lacks true perennial bottom-dwellers (save for Edmonton) like the Leafs, Isles, Thrashers, and Panthers. Just because everyone is still in with a chance for a playoff spot in March doesn’t mean it’s a better conference than the East, though, it only means that the teams are closer together. 8 teams can fight for 4 playoff spots, but if none of those teams is any better than the Leafs, is it really great shakes?
Northwest is the worst division in hockey
Seeing a President’s trophy team coming out a of a weak division makes complete sense. Van got to pound on Edmonton, Colorado, Minnisota and Calagary all season long. The false sense of confidence and feeling of entitlement are working in the Bruins favor.
Total points by division Pacific – 496, Central – 468, Atlantic 459, Northeast 454, Southeast 453, and bringing up the rear Northwest – 427. This method of comparing qualtiy of opponents is not perfect but the discrepancy between the Northwest and the rest of the pack is stark.
The Northeast wasn’t exactly a powerhouse either this year. The Bruins got to play the Leafs and Sens.

Agreed, it wasn't.
But, there are two other teams who put up enough points to at least make the playoffs. I’m not saying Vancouver’s division games were close or that the Canucks pounded them, I’m just saying that in a division where nobody else makes the playoffs, either your team is the reason the other teams aren’t making it, or the other teams are just plain bad, or a little bit of both, perhaps.
For Horton!
In contrast, we played Montreal, Philly, and Tampa many times over the season, giving plenty of real hockey played, with current rosters, as a guideline as to what might happen in a playoff series.
Just because Vancouver looked so ‘perfect’ against the teams they were playing constantly should not automatically persuade anyone that it meant they were superior to Boston. And I admit that argument would work the other way if they came out and said that Boston was obviously the better team, with the same lack of real experience to back it up.

for example
The Canucks are the only team in their division to make the playoffs. That has to skew their record a little bit and possibly make them look a little better than they are, no?
For Horton!
I have been having to listen to this for the entire playoffs. First we did not have the speed or skill to match up with Montreal and their goaltending was supposedly better too. We all know how that worked out. Then we played Philly and it was the old “Well Philly is in their heads after last season” hmmm SWEEP. Then Tampa had to top end skill to make us look silly and our defence would finally crack and we would be exposed. Hmmm Eastern Conference Champs after that series. The lead up to the Vancouver series all I heard was the depth, skill and speed that the Canucks have will exploit the bigger slower offensively challenged Bruins. Vancouver will take the cup in 4 or 5 games. Granted its all media talk so what do they really know. Then today on the radio on the way in all I heard was how Boston cannot keep scoring the goals at the rate they are. Yes to a degree I agree that we wont be able to score 6 goals a game but we did have the 5th most goals for this year so I would say that demonstrates that we know how to put the puck in the net.
For Horton!!
VAN IS FASTER AND MORE SKILLED…but not after we beat on them for a period or two. The whole difference in the series is, we’re playing OUR game, not theirs. The first two games, they played puck control and opened us up with passing. We didn’t fare very well, but we didn’t get blown out. Then they came here and Mr. Rome woke the sleeping bear. Personally I hope Vancouver stays in it’s identity-crisis funk, and we don’t wake THEM up until it’s over.
Just like against the Habs;
if we play our game, we win. If we try to play theirs, we don’t.
For Horton!
Actually, not really.
Someone did a great analysis several weeks back over at Fear the Fin that showed that the margins people were giving the Canucks were horribly maligned if you compared only playoff teams, as opposed to what the records were against all teams during the regular season. (Check it out here).
According to that analysis, the Sharks were actually favored in the West, but, as we all know now, that didn’t happen for a variety of reasons.
The more impressive stat, though, was the EC Analysis. According to that, the Caps should have steamrolled through; instead, the middle-ranking B’s have found a way to outplay people well above them. Boston has every right to be proud of this team.
They are just a force.

I see what you did there...
but that was my point, in a roundabout way. They’re not playing this on paper, and the B’s have found a way to rise above every opponent they have faced thus far. Even if its just thru sheer perserverance.
I just hope that Van stays asleep, or confused, or waiting for the refs to call the game differently, or whatever they are doing over there.
West isn't as physichal as the east.
Sure, there are a few guys that pack a wallop (Douglas Murray, for instance), but in general, you just don’t see the scrums and PIMs like the east conference.

I just think its amazing that some people are surprised that Boston is tied with Vancouver at this point, when they had zero data on which to base, either way, as to what might be expected.
Its all just media white noise, and fan based delusions. The conferences are almost two separate leagues, with very little interaction on which to base the ridiculously high confidence level of who is superior to whom.
I was BLOWN away when the commentators were talking about how this was a cheap and dirtty play. Was MArchand just supposed to stand there while one twin sister tried to play tough guy and take a run at him ?? Funny, when Hamhuis did SAME THING to Lucic and flipped him on his head they called it a "GREAT " hip check . PAthetic.

Hawks Fan
I don’t get to watch Boston play very much, so I’m not familiar with the players. That being said, the one thing that stands out to me, and has stood out, is that it seems like just about every guy on the team has the same skill set. I know now this isn’t the case the more I watch. But still, the drop off from the top line to the bottom isn’t all that great and it seems from my novice eye, that guys embrace that and they try to flat out our work you.
Anyway… you don’t need anymore of my opinion. All I know is, I couldn’t be happier right now for you Bruin fans, and original 6 team handing it to the one team I hate more than any other has been fun to watch. Best of luck the rest of the way.
I’m a Hawks fan first and foremost, but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if I find myself donning a Bruins cap from time to time after this series. Win or lose… I like this team!

original 6 team handing it to the one team I hate more than any other
Sounds an awful lot like last year for me… granted, Montreal takes pole position over Philly in the hate-race, but still
I'd like to add
Not just an O6 team (fuck Detroit and Montreal), but another O6 team that survived decades of Montreal, Toronto and Detroit having free pick at all the best players. When that was abolished, then had to deal with expansion (and therefore not so easy to raise a couple dozen Cups) and a long drought. Sounds all too familiar.
Hopefully your drought ends in the next week. Good luck Bruins.

Cannot stand the Canucks crying over the calls.
Most teams even when they dont agree with ther refs come out and say they ahve to move on. They complain after every game about something. Yet agian, showing no class.
What's sad
is they’ve done it every series and don’t seem to understand they are the common denominator. Just like the chippy play. Every team they play they accuse of being chippy against them and fail to realize none of those teams play anyone else like that. I don’t remember a lot of dirty scrums when I was watching your series with the Lightning. There is always some physical play after the whistle but it’s non-stop with every team that plays Vancouver and they’re always trying to play the victim. When everyone in the league thinks you’re dirty, there is probably something to it.

That's because
The NHL doesn’t want the Canucks to win! How can you be so naive and not see this completely obvious fact? The conspiracy is so deep and clever the NHL is giving Van more power plays because Bostons penalty kill is scoring on them. It’s also obvious that Thomas should have been suspended for slashing Burrows because Tim Thomas is a dirty player. I will prove it by posting this GIF shows Thomas slashing but doesn’t show the slash that happened 5 seconds prior. Also, he put his blocker near Burrows face…. That could have killed him!

I think it is funny..
Even when Vancouver gets way more powerplays they can still complain about the refereeing..I mean what do they expect?
I’m starting to think they want the refs to just start throwing Bruins out of the game for no good reason. They need to instead look at what they are doing wrong. First of all, they are trying to play Bruins hockey right now. They want to agitate, be chippy, get under the Bruins skin…go ahead and ask Montreal and Dallas how well that works. You aren’t going to beat the Bruins at old time hockey. If the Canucks went out there very business like and just played their game, used their speed, and kept their composure, the series would probably look a lot different right now. At the very least they wouldn’t be coming off two completely lop sided games.
Great win Boys!
Keep up the great work and bring the cup to an orig 6 team. Vancouver will always cry when they don’t win and make excuses why they lost and never give credit torwards the opposition. The comment made by One the the Sedin saying he would rather lose 8-1 rather then the games before, means he is making excuses for his and his brothers lack of no show. Comments like that made Lou lose his captainship last year. when saying after losing to the hawks 5 -1, said at least it wasn’t 7-2. lololol. I have learned that this Vancouver team, their Organization, fans all lack one thing….. hockey sense. Their is a reason why the only statue they have in front of that building were they play in with their first coach holding a white towel. I tell Ya, the more and more I watch Tim Thomas the more and more I think he sooo deserves this cup.
Aside from the Bruins winning
this was the best part of last night’s game for me…
OK, that’s all I got until after next game.

As for waving the white towel,if you knew your hockey history was from a past series… Funny how every other sports teams franchise since then hands out towels to the fans prior.. Check the history out you goon.
You have the momentum. Thomas is awesome I will give you that… Would you fight Mcquad? Marchand is a little pest like Burrows who has gotten under our skin.But he turtled just as bad .. Yeah but it was A Sedin coming at him… i thought they are a bunch of girls>?…
Game 5 will be bit different though Beantown… The refs will call the slashes ( by both teams) We will at least have a ice surface that can be played upon. Your mucks rucks and stickwork will be penalized. Get ready for Game 6 cause you will be fighting for your playoff lifes

HORNTON WAS HIT AFTER HE PASSED THE PUCK.
A little different from getting HIT BY someone that was going to FOLLOW THROUGH on THEIR HIT, DESPITE the whistle being blown.

I like how two people can watch the same thing and see completely different things.
The first person to drop his gloves, indicating he wants to fight, is Ballard. Ballard bypasses Kelly, who throws down to accept the challenge, because Ballard wants Marchand. Kelly then engages with Orteskdwoihtdagorgio, which is when Ehroff comes over and grabs Kelly. McQuaid then peels Ehroff off of the two of them, McQuaid gives him one shot, and Ehroff falls to the ice. Meanwhile, Daniel is off as a spectator with some other Bruin, basically to stay out of it.

How did he turtle? His gloves were off right away.
Regarding the Sedin “miss” (or “Miss Sedin?”), was Marchand supposed to just stand there while Sedin flew toward him at full speed after the whistle?

No, that’s not what I said.
I didn’t say anyone had to stop when the whistle blows; I said,
was Marchand supposed to just stand there while Sedin flew toward him at full speed after the whistle?, meaning, if you see a train coming, you get the hell out of the way. Who wouldn’t?

Daniel’s gloves were not off. Marchand’s options are as follows:
1. Punch him in the face. This is a blatant penalty and you have a case.
2. Pull a matador’s cape out of his pants and shout “Olé!” as he spins Daniel into the boards.
3. Take the hit and risk getting his face smashed into the boards, AKA getting boarded.
4. Duck.

I take this statement two different ways:
1. If you were referring to Sedin as a “big tough guy” and actually think that’s true, then you’re deluded and have no sense of reality.
or
2. You meant that sarcastically and thus are admitting the Sedins are pussies.
So, from your statement and the two possibilities of what you meant, we can infer either way, that you are incorrect.

If the Bruins are going to overcome some long odds and history and win the Cup, the best path to it is to win tomorrow night and get the chance to close it out at home. Frankly, I don’t think they want any part of a game 7 in Vancouver. Tomorrow night is crucial. Whoever wins that game wins the series. And no, McGuire, I don’t need to ask Olczyk for confirmation of my thought. It can be done.

I just wanted to drop by and say....
… Thomas is starting to remind me a bit of Hextall. And I fully support more of that line of thinking in the net. Good on ya.
Yeah so you see it one way and we see it another.. You can’t really say that the Canucks have been doing all the cheap shots? R u saying we do more stickwork to injure than you ?
The reality is yes the Bruins are the bigger tougher team. The first two games we played our game. The second two you played yours. The series is tied 2-2. You call us a bunch of girls divers… Can you say Ferrence… You guys are so worried about the Habs it’s fucking funny. The Habs suck. Can you say the same for San Jose and Chicago.
The thing you guys don’t get is you black and gold glasses think jabbing slashing and two handers are part of the game. Burrows has a go at your Goalie. He’s a girl? Our star player goes to run one of your girls. Your girl turtles and then Erhofff is supposed to fight after gettting cut already and then fight aMcquad…
When we play our game tommorow, you guys come up with hack slash hold and lots get called don’t be surprised. Thomas is in a zone and he is good. He is the answer.
See the game for what it is. This series is far from over,. Replan your parade, we did.
uh?
We aren’t worried about the Habs, we just think the Canucks play like them. Why would we be worried about a team we sent to the golf course?
Maybe you should see the game for what it is. None of us think this series is over. Not even close. Perhaps you should learn to read?

Most people I talked to admit Burrows is in the wrong.
But then they try to compare it to, say, Thomas slashing Burrows, and they’re all “well, THAT’S way worse!”
So then I bring up the fact that Burrows initiated contact. Suddenly, he’s taking extra liberties by playing the victim.

Steamer12....
Are you seriously that freakin stupid. You out all people should not speak about gooning up games and calls not going your way. I have been reading your post about how Marchand duck was bad and should have taken a hit…LOL are you Fin joking. So Hamuis who’s filled with cheap shots is ok to duck and flip a shark’s player and not even get called. When you post comments do a little research before you try to post a comment. You know for a fact your team can not win unless they play dirty, I don’t need to tell everyone that, The best part of you guys making it to the finals is not because your outstanding players. Its because you played in a confernce that only one team came out of their and made it. You are going to sit here and say your a great team when you play the majority of your sch. against teams like Edmonton, Calagry. LOLOL. If your a great team then why is it that you can only score one goal in game one and win in overtime in game two. Where is the explosive fire power that you have…….zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I am sorry but Lou is the most overrated goalie their is and its showing. Finally the two countries are seeing what a classless bunch of cry babys your organization, team and fans are. And the commentators are done with you guys! they are even making fun of you! lolol.
P.S. good luck with your cap issue. Lou is gone.
Lou will retirewith that team....
…he has a 12-year $64M contract with them that he signed this year.
So, you could,, quite literally, call him,
“The $64,000,000 Question.”

How is Hamhuis a dirty player? A hipcheck isn’t dirty, and when done properly (i.e., not like the one Hammer put on when he injured himself game 1) is a beautiful hockey play. It’s a lost art that not many guys try to use anymore. But definitely not a penalty.
Also, where is Lou going exactly? For better or worse, he’s with the team for awhile. People doubt him, but he does make the team better. There’s a reason that he’s also nominated for Vezina this year. Every goalie has an off night, especially when their team decides they’re gonna take the night off. Thomas is an awesome goalie, but please don’t try to say that he hasn’t had an off night. Even in the last series, he was giving up 5 goals a game. The difference is that the team in front of him remebered to show up for those games.
He's saying that if Vancouver thinks Marchand is dirty, then so is Hamhuis.
They both made hipchecks to dodge hits.

Good One… I am not cool disagreeing with your opinion and comments… man you really have to scrape the barrel with your knowledge.. You say someone does not understand hockey Look in the mirror Mate.
I never sais someone...
…I said you.
What lack of knowledge? I know a hipcheck when I see one, and I know how it’s done because I’ve done it. You duck, and you let the train roll over your back.
The difference between us? You seem to think that if Burrows does it it’s legal, but it miraculously becomes a dirty hit when Marchant does it.
Don’t expect to come int our house, acting like “i’m all that” and thinking you’ll get respect. You won’t.
I have never been on the Canucks board to deliver my opinions because:
1. They will see it from their perspective (as expected)
2. I make it a policy not to piss in another person’s house.
Your “clever” picture clearly indicates you do neither. And I strongly suspect that you’re one of those that has 2-3 SBN accounts to protect your “main” account from a permaban.
As you brought up the Sharks: don’t pretend to understand me in any way. I’m fully aware of the Sharks issues, and most of them had more to do with themselves and how they wrecked themselves the second half of the season to get into the WC Playoffs to make up for a poor start. I don’t blame other teams for my teams failures.
I guess that makes the third difference between us.
