Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Pursuit

[drjeff]

Man, if I only knew that all it took for the B's to score a goal in Vancouver was me asking for it in +4 font size in this thread, I would have done that before game 1! :lol:

Boston Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup Champions - sounds mighty fine if you ask me!

Yeah, they're not taking it well up North. :lol:

 

[ScottySkis]

Great for Boston

damn

WTF? :blink:

I guess it is similar to 2003 when the Red Sox lost to the Yankees in game seven. The Canucks lost in 1994 in game seven. They are probably frustrated, but man I didn't see that at all last night. I went to bed when NBC coverage ended. From what I saw a fair number of Canucks fans stuck around for the presentation and seemed to be good sports.

So proud!!

Karma Wins!!!

FWIW I voted that the Bruins would go all the way. Figured what the hell? I also wore yellow and black to work yesterday....my lucky yellow ski tie that in the winter brings snow. I guess it worked again! :lol:

Judging by the post game ceremonies, I think it's safe to say that the Canuck fans aren't exactly fans of Gary Bettman

So, they finally won the World Series and took home the Lombardi Trophy? Does that mean I'll stop hearing about them everywhere I go?

Seriously, I've gone years of my life without hearing anything about the Bruins, or hockey at all for that matter. Not so much lately...

I guess a congrats are in order! :beer:

You know, it is very true. Even in January folks talk only about the Red Sox.

Congrats to the Bruins, their fans, and the City of Boston. Hope you had as much fun on the ride as I did the years the Devils won. A really entertaining Stanley Cup Playoffs this year.

It's funny. Boston, New York, and Philly fans have this reputation of being so brutal while Vancouver fans have always been thought of as relatively tame. Don't remember any rioting in Philly last year when the Flyers lost.

(obligatory dig) Take care of the Cup this summer till it comes home to NJ next summer. Let's Go Devils.

Perhaps more than any Boston Professional Sports title I've seen in my life, I really wanted this win for Boston and the New England region. How they played as a team, so much fight, so much heart, so much class (except for when it's time to not be classy), the Bruins players were the better PEOPLE in this series.

The Good guys won!!!!!

Boston Sports is a big reason why I live in New England. Because our teams represent our people. The best people in the world live in New England.

Hooray for karma!

Ahh, Boston, city of bandwagon fans.

It was pretty friggen cool to see them win last night. I still think the Red Sox '04 victory was more epic, but this was definitely behind that in terms of championship wins in the city.

 

[deadheadskier]

that's going to leave a mark. slowmo at 30 seconds :lol:

Not surprising that both CBC and NBC are reporting huge viewership. It was the most viewed Hockey Night in Canada Broadcast: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/stanleycup/story/2011/06/16/sp-nhl-game7-ratings-us.html

So did anyone go to the parade?

And if anyone wants a jersey, this place has some for really low prices: http://www.ice-hockey-jerseys.com/boston-bruins-c-190.html?page=2&sort=20a

Seems too good to be true....
