Nothing to be nervous about TT, Nucks are going to win this, I thought there was a chance in game 6 but this is a "home" series....

Where's a good place to catch a Lightning game if not at the Forum? I had tickets to a few games this season, and ended up another night at a Champp's where the Heat game was the highlight, with one tiny screen reserved for the hockey game.

Yes, they represent Vancouver and Boston. Perhaps BC and Mass... beyond that is ridiculous.

No it was a victory for the USA! USA! USA!

Fans in Miami should thrilled... USA victory. Mavs won the NBA championship, no Toronto thus USA should be ecstatic.

Yes it is that stupid IMO. And this from a Cdn which I know puts me in the vast majority of Cdns opinions on this matter.

I think most people, when picking between two teams they don't really care about, can have a little more of a reaching reason. Most people probably don't care too much who wins, so they'll pick the American team, but if they don't win, oh well. They're not going to lose sleep over it. Personally for me, that's part of it, but I also want Boston cause I'm a huge fan of Thomas and I went to a Jackets at Bruins game at TD Garden and liked the Bruins fans I interacted with, so I want Boston. But if Vancouver wins, it doesn't really matter.

Fair enough, but I think that applies more to Americans. The complex driven Cdns (sorry LSUCanFn) drives more of them into an us vs them thing. I was roundly criticized by my family and friends when I went for the Lighting in 2004 over Calgary (because they played a better brand of hockey). Looks like we are on the same page.

frick you. I went to Boston for 5 days and attended Game 3. I thought the fans in the area (outside my 4 hours in the stadium) were great, including drinking it up with some South Bostonians at a bar watching game 2. In the Garden, we had a few issues but I went in with my eyes open.

Frick no. Actually, My mom is a native of Toronto. She's a die hard leafs fan and so is her family. My Dad could give a flying frick about hockey.(they met at LSU '88?) The rest is history. 2006 was my first ever hockey game between the Florida Panthers against none other than Vancouver Canucks. I ran into none other than Alexandre Burrows at a Starbucks of all places an two hours before the puck dropped. He snubbed me out of an autograph. I haven't let go of this grudge ever since.

Nucks are now down Hamhuis, Rome, and Raymond plus injuries (according to the Vancouver Sun and something called The Star) to Edler, Alberts, and a sore groin of Kesler's. if the Canucks win the Stanley Cup tomorrow night then who wins the Conn Smithe Trophy? Could Tim Thomas win it in a losing effort? Interesting to see what happens. If Claude was smart he would put Seguin on pp1 over Campbell. I'm still trying to figure out if the Bs are better in Boston or the 'Nucks are playing worse. Probably a combo of both, but I think the Bs definitely have more jump in Boston.Schneider is going to be good and they would be nuts to trade him away this off season.

The home team has won every game in this series so far.Bruins have dominated in Boston, while the games in Vancouver have all been one-goal games won by the Canucks. Roberto Luongo will start for Vancouver in goal barring something terrible. He's been great in Vancouver and terrible in Boston. If he gets comfortable like he did in Game 5, the Bruins will have a tough time beating him.The motivation is obvious for both teams: Win the Stanley Cup.

Vancouver 1 Boston 0 OT Winner to Henrik Sedin.

Really hoping for OT. That would be absolutely amazing.

Also, though I want Boston to win, it would kind of be cool for Vancouver to win since they're home. That hasn't happened in a few years now. It's always exciting to see the home crowd as the Cup's won and see it skated around on home ice. Still cheering for Boston, but that'd be cool, too.

Nothing beats a Game 7 in hockey. Especially Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
