Luongo "Cursed": Canucks All Swede and No Finish

Watching Vancouver get manhandled by the Bruins made me feel sick to my stomach; I nearly had to turn off the TV.

Vancouver needs to get a backbone and defend themselves. Theres was a scrum in front of the Bruins net where Marchand punched H Sedin repeatedly in the face, he looked helpless.

4 goals in less than 5 minutes says it all. If Vancouver wants to win the cup it'll take a miracle. They've been outscored 19-6 in the series, and have actually led games for a dozen minutes.

Vancouver Blows 2-0 Series Lead In Stanley Cup Final!

Congratulations Boston! Talk about a team that found enough courage to take a step back off the ledge. You also have to hand it to Tim Thomas. The guy has shut the door.

Marchand just dummied three guys too at the end of the 4th game.

Higgins can't score on 3 breakaways. Luongo lets in 12 goals in 2 games. Sedin's haven't done anything. Kesler lost his edge. Ballard blew it last game. Salo is -100, the guy is out of position on every Bruins goal, I mean cmon you are professionals! The Bruins have more SHGs and the Canucks have PPGs.

The Canucks look tired, they look broken. The Bruins look passionate and like they want the cup more the Vancouver does. The Bruins keep beating on the Canucks like that old schoolyard bully. I cant help but feel bad for them.

Vancouver needs to figure out Tim Thomas. Vancouver needs to knock some sense into Ballard, and especially Salo. Maybe teach the boys how to shoot and put the puck in the back of the net.

I really think Rome's hit on Horton wasn't late. It was a clean hit. It is unfortunate Horton got hurt, he's a good guy, and I wish him a prompt and full recovery.

Game 5 will be exciting no doubt.

Vancouver, Boston Game 1 Preview

With handicappers already giving Vancouver the upper hand in the series, it will be interesting to see how the two teams match up on ice. In terms of distance, this is the furthest two teams will ever have to travel to play each other in Stanley Cup history.

For Vancouver, Kesler's health will be a huge concern. For Boston, playing a full 60 minutes of hockey.
Goaltending on either side has shown glimmers of brilliance, and the occasional brain fart.

This is going to be an amazing final.
