        So stupid...people take their sports entirely too seriously, get a life people. My teams keep losing to the eventual champ, it sucks! (Flyers to Blackhawks/Bruins, Eagles to Packers, Phillies to Giants)

          I did win £14 though so fuckin YASSSSSS
          You can try to take whatever you want away from the Bruins. They outclassed the Canucks, and your Rangers blow. Bring home Lord Stanley WOOO:jhenbeatkwon:

              Kind of a strange end to a strange series. I thought Thomas was very good, but Vancouver didn't get that many "great" shots. It seemed like whenever Vancouver had an open net, they would whiff on the shot completely.

              I think Vancouver needed to come out like gangbusters and score early to take the pressure off Luongo, but they came out surprisingly weak. Boston didn't take nearly as many shots, but they controlled the puck. Vancouver couldn't really handle Marchand, and it appeared that whenever he would get the puck Vancouver's defense would lay back and allow him plenty of room. Luongo also had a couple plays where he tried to make saves while dropping his stick, which was odd. This cost them the 2nd goal, because the puck ran up his stick while it was down on the ice and into the goal.

              I didn't really like Vancouver, especially after the GM's comments during the Chicago series, and I thought it was fitting that the very last second of the game Bieksa shot a full ice-length slapshot into Thomas' gut. Whatever.

                Vancouver was out of gas.

                  Dumb Tweet Alert.

                  "No excuses for the idiots in Van who started and participated in riots but I will say Bettman and his vision for a the NHL is 2 blame"

                  followed by

                  "Well.... not to blame per se but def a catalyst for Canadian hockey fans frustration"

                  That makes no sense what so ever. Of course woman who said it is a Canadian who cheers for Buffalo.
                  All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

                  "rammer" and "cummings"

                  The NHL series is a giver, Madden takes the load.

                      First goal I'll let slide for Luo since it looked like he didn't see it through all the skates. Second one, you have to have that. Third, well he seem to have just gave up. You know Thomas would have stuck in there like a boss, got his ass ran over, gave a buttend, and go about his business.

                        Never thought I'd say this but seeing all the rioting that happened in Vancouver might cause me to divorce my allegiance to the Canucks... if it wasn't for the NHL returning to my hometown of Winnipeg I wouldn't say that, but now... I'm not sure if I can keep rooting for the Canucks the way I have, and may have to go against everything I believe in regarding loyalty.

                            I think people's comments like this are being a bit silly. It's entirely correct that the scene after the game was disgraceful, no doubt.

                            However, they did this in 94. Montreal does this after every game. Calgary had problems in 2004. Edmonton had problems in 2005. Then there was the guy that was put in the hospital after the Giants/Dodgers game. Lakers fans rioted after their Game 7 win in 2010.

                            I could list 100's of post game riots in sports.

                            No sense in picking on a city for it, it's just retarded drunk males being retarded drunk males. It's a worldwide issue with sports. I didn't even touch on football in Europe either.

                              I give Vancouver credit...at least they rioted after they lost. I've never understood why cities riot after they win. You'd think they'd be happy.
