PhoenixFlare500 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 GAME 7! Yay Av's starting Luongo. He said that no matter what happens he's their starter. Plus, it doesn't hurt his case that the result of game 5 turned out the way it did. I think they should be fine starting with Luongo for game 7, but yesterday they should've used Schneider first.

Mithril Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Luongo is solid at home. But yes, given Luongo's track record at TD Garden this series, we probably would've been better off starting Schneider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepontrying Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Canucks will win simply for Raymond's sake. That hit was dirty and the league is a joke for playing double standards. Late hit + serious injury (and we are talking about a guy who might not even be walking) is unquestionably dirty and should lead to auto suspension. Just because one of the disciplinary dudes in the office is related to a Bruins player doesn't mean the league can turn a blind eye like this, and consistently favour Bruins on all the calls. Give me a break. I thought MLB is a joke when it comes to decision making, with NBA as close second - NHL takes the throne after this mess.

Missed call being interference perhaps but not a missed suspension. Stuff happens in the game and this was two guys trying to make a play and something unfortunate happened.

keepontrying Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 trying to make a play? perhaps if boychuk didn't decide to make a late shove to board raymond hard enough to break his back? it's true that it was unfortunate that raymond was stuck in that vulnerable position and the two were initially trying to make a play, but seriously, a late shove was unnecessary.

Its called hockey and it happens. It's not like his head was turned, not engaged with another player and then getting coldcocked into oblivion.

The league punishes the play, not the outcome. The rome hit was a late hit to the head, which is against the rules. The boychuk play was just him bringing raymond into the boards to take him out of the play, which is not illegal. Also, as I recall, the Colin Campbell doesn't make the decision to suspend someone when that player is on or playing against his son's team.

Raymond doesn't even have the puck, so it's a late hit, and that's illegal. I agree that rome's hit was worse because it was to the head, but a late hit is a late hit. The fact that the league didn't even bother reviewing the play is mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break. I thought MLB is a joke when it comes to decision making, with NBA as close second - NHL takes the throne after this mess.Colin Campbell doesn't make decisions anymore. He stepped down when the Bruins made the cup finals. Raymond doesn't even have the puck, so it's a late hit, and that's illegal. I agree that rome's hit was worse because it was to the head, but a late hit is a late hit. The fact that the league didn't even bother reviewing the play is mind boggling.The league (Mike Murphy) did review the play and a suspension wasn't warranted.

thatonekid Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 In general finals talk, here's hoping for a good game 7. A detailed look back at game 7 I thought this was a good read. Or at least worth a passing glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curi0user Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well this was a snoozefest, you could totally pick up on the hostility and yet no one acted on it. I WANTED ACTION. seems like the canucks technique was terrrible in this game, i dont even think they remember how to pass and Luongo was mediocre at best and it's never good to be mediocre in the stanley cup finals.

Chaplin Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Needless to say the better team with the best goalkeeper, Tim Thomas won and they deserved it for not giving up when they went 2-0 down and then 3-2 in the play offs..Great mentality.

Erk Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 :-/ holy anticlimax. Couldn't even give them a fight. I'd feel way better if the Bruins had won in overtime, the stanley cup final game 7 should be exciting to watch. Pathetic. I actually don't blame Luongo all that much. Not that he played well. The whole team slowly eroded since game 3, some out of their control, some in it. What a sad end to an amazing playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Wow, the riots are a total mess! I feel like I did when I was in Europe during the World Cup... Check out the attached Luongo pic for entertainment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
