Let's get this thread goin now that shit's finally starting up again. After taking part in Gnartron's playoff thread last season, I thought it'd be nice to have one thread going all season, where anyone can talk about any game, any team, any trades, etc.

I'm gonna start this thread by saying LOL @ Toronto.

Go.

The only penalty that was there was interference but honestly I would have hated to see that been called. Checks like that happen all the time and if the refs started calling that consistently- hahaha NHL refs/discipline being consistent!- I would probably want to throw my tv out the window. Nothing wrong with rubbing the player out into the corner and unfortunately this time Raymond came out a little worse for wear.



And jesus guys, all they were saying was that based on the standards set for the suspension that Rome received, Boychuk should have gotten a suspension as well. You can argue all you want about the hits being different, anyone with a set of eyes can see that, but you cant argue that based on the criteria for Rome's suspension Boychuk should have had one handed to him as well. No one is saying he should get one and I think the majority of you understand that but some of you just want to make something out of nothing and it is getting really annoying.

this is exactly the problem. there is no specification of this rule by the NHL. it just kinda seems to vary with how the play looks to the reffs. which to me sounds really silly. im more just pissed off cuz i fucking love raymond and hes filthy and we re probably gonna lose him for a long first part of next season as well. fuck

well see, despite my long drunk post, thats what im trying to get at.


let us all agree that for the stanley cup finals, regardless of who we support....getting to game 7 and going balls to the wall for the final win and cup is what we all love about hockey. its the relief or heartbreak that goes along with every seasons.

this has nothing to do with what anyone else is talking about right now, but Bruins fans feel me out here.

it pisses me off that marc savard is the only bruin not in van right now. claude said his health is still different from "week to week and day to day." horton, somehow, has been healthy enough to make the trip out there, but savard, more than a year after his hit from cooke and another hit in colorado, is still unable to even leave the east coast to watch his team play game 7. just makes me so mad over that hit by cooke all over again. savard we're all still thinking of you buddy.

I respected Raymond a lot as well, him and Malhotra are probably my favorite players on the 'Nucks. But seeing a beloved player on your own team go down like that with a serious injury is really hard to watch.

And now maybe Canucks fans can understand what Bruins fans were feeling when Horton was laying motionless on the ice. It's hard to see that and not want some sort of revenge and not be pissed at someone. I agree that the suspension was too much now that my emotions have cooled down since seeing that hit.

The biggest difference between the NHL using the precedent set by the Rome hit to suspend Boychuk as many people on here are arguing is that Boychuk's wasn't late. Fraser agreed that it maybe should have been interference or a hook, and if it was interference it would have been because of the hook, not the fact that it was late (which it wasn't). He said that there was nothing wrong with the fact that Boychuk rode him into the boards.

"When Mason Raymond was fully turned from the hook and balanced once again on two skates in a bent over position, it appears as though impact with the boards was perhaps five feet away. It doesn't take long to travel that distance. I did not see any evidence that Boychuk drove Raymond with any excessive or significant force other than what might be deemed normal on a finish of a play of this nature."

Very few people are saying that Boychuk should be suspended, people are more irritated at the lack of consistency in NHL discipline. What I'm annoyed with is, watch the Canucks when Horton is taken off, it's essentially a line of sticks tapping on the ice and the B's fans applauding (which is what you should do regardless of what team the guy plays for). That is not what happened last night and anyone in that arena who was doing what we could hear on the TV should be ashamed of themselves.

i feel like most, not all canucks fan understand that this was a hockey play gone really really bad. not a dirty hit. we re just using it as a point to show how unjust rome's suspension was. the interference thing on boychuk is meh. some will be for some will be against it. i guarantee if the media makes the hit a big deal, bandwagoners everywhere would turn it into the horton hit. and it would be just as much if not a bigger deal because of his injury.

yea, i dont agree with fraser's opinion though... if you have someones head between your legs, finishing that hit is excessive, just like how horton wasnt looking, finishing the hit is excessive... raymond was just as vulnerable if not more... the hit was mch smaller with much more dramatic result

if the canucks lose tomorrow night i feel like this raymond deal will turn into a gigantic shitstorm by the media and fans

true. i might not agree with dingosean when he says we should always be classy and not chirp the fuck out of each other but there is always a certain level of respect that needs to be shown. when a player is injured you dont start yelling shit and whatnot, thats just gutless.

I agree with you, I'm disappointed in the Bruins who did not tap their sticks on the ice or boards when he was being taken off the ice. But as for the fans, there's a post by Melvs a page or two back that explains it all. When a player on a team that has a reputation for diving (whether you think this is justified or not the reputation is undeniable) goes down in what looked like a relatively soft hit, you encounter a "boy who cried wolf" situation. And as soon as the doctors came out and it was obvious that he was really hurt, they stopped chanting "diver" or "flopper" or whatever it was and resumed their prior "Lets go Bruins" chant.

sure, but in my opinion chanting "Go (team) Go!" when a player on the other team is getting helped off the ice by doctors and visibly cant stand up on his own or anything, thats fucked. like even if youre not concerned at all and really want the guy to be injured at least fuckin pretend youre concerned, show some respect

I had the game recorded and just watched it again and it seemed like everyone's reaction was different to this injury than Hortons. The Canucks players didn't even hit their sticks into the boards or ice or anything as Raymond was being helped off the ice.

Also, the "Lets Go Bruins" chants by the fans stopped as Raymond was being helped away and a lot of fans were clapping for him as he went down the tunnel...

is this regarding the media or the officiating? the media is the media. they do what they can in order to be profitable. but if you feel the whole NHL system is unbalanced in this final and they(reffs and disciplinary board) are making things more 'interesting"


or am I just another stupid American NBA fan that just likes Hockey fights and Don Cherry's sport coats

True, that was pretty embarrassing to see fans chanting and stuff when raymond was down...but like Natty_Ice said all that ruckus calmed down when the extent of the injury was realized...

I think it was hard for b's fans in the arena (cause they dont show a replay) to know if he was hurt or not because it was in the corner of the rink so not a lot of fans could actually see it and vancouver is known for diving/embellishing

don't think we're all like that tho, i was the first one on this thread wishing raymond the best because i was able to see the replay...i dont want to see anyone seriously hurt on either side

End of discussion in my opinion. Quit the bitching, game 7 tonight and that is the only thing that matters.

I like our chances if Loungo starts instead of Schneider as they've been saying he will. Schneider was downright dirty and kept game 6 from being another 8 goal game for the Bruins. I'll be glad to see him on the bench when the game starts.

Yeah thats absurd, sounds like his first hockey article..


Vanc fans - your city shut down tonight? I heard they were closing roads at 3 and no liquor sales past 4...

boston is almost as bad - fat fuck mumbles menino said no viewing party at the garden and put a parking ban on streets near garden, fenway and faneuil hall, he also told bars to remove all outdoor seating, black out their windows so people cant stand outside and watch, and told bars to not let anyone inside after the 2 period...fucking ridiculous

wow thats fuckin gay. seems like theyre trying to prevent a party that is inevitably going to happen. this is why riots start, the cops try to contain everyone and stop them from partying, but if the bruins win, the fans are gonna fuckin party no matter what, the cops are just gonna be a little obstacle

If Boston scores early, especially on a soft goal, B's will win. I'm thinking 2-1 B's in 3.

a point i want to make. first off im a bruins fan, but very unbiased, i pegged the canucks to win the cup back in october.

The Sedin brothers need to learn to play north american style hockey.
Theyre still stuck on swedish hockey, where they play more of a Canadiens/Lightning style of hockey: lots of speed and finesse. theyre not going to get any sympathy from the refs in the stanley cup final games. when the goalie covers the puck, theres going to be a scrum in front of the net, almost always, its just the nature of the game. So when Brad Marchand is punching you in the face, stick up for your damn self and play physical instead of asking the refs for a penalty. Its the nature of North American hockey, theyre not going to change decades of tradition because of what youre used to in europe.

That being said, on paper the canucks are the better team hands down. no questions asked. but hockey isnt played on paper. so go b's baby.

T-minus 3 hours boys.

i'm going to say boston 4-2, though i'd love to see van take it say 2-1 or something close like that.

but to be honest, boston has looked amazing lately, and if luongo isn't the best player on the ice, theyre doomed.

I agree with what was said above. If Boston scores in the first 5-8 minutes, they'll win.

If the game drags on scoreless, and LOLuongo can get his confidence up, it will come down to who gets the lucky goal.

In the distant future when many hockey legends had retired and sadly passed away this unfolded:


Bobby Orr, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with faded Bruin flags in the windows.
"This house is yours for eternity, Bobby." said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Orr felt special indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3 story mansion with a blue and green sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flag pole with an enormous Canucks flag, and in every window a blue or white Towel.
Orr looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-star defenseman, considered one of the best players of all time, and I even went to the Hockey Hall of Fame!"
God said, "So what's you point Bobby?"
"Well, why does Trevor Linden get a better house than me?"
God chuckled, and said, "Bobby, that's not Trevor's house, it's mine."

no disrespect to Bobby meant, just thought it was funny.

This is the most nervous and excited i have ever been.

GO CANUCKS GO, BRING THE CUP HOME BOYS!!!!!
