I really hope we take it, the footage from last time is just embarassing. For some reason I don't see it happening this time if we lost, people are just so disappointed they have just been going straight home early when a game doesnt go our way. Either way, the 94 riots are just shameful:

real sad to see raymond out with a fractured vertebrae, he has some great speed.  Hopefully he's healed up for training camp.
Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here.

Yeah I'm worried about him. I don't understand for the life of me why they lifted him up and skated him off the ice with a spinal injury. That was crazy. Also Boston was chanting something about their team as he gets taken off the ice? Come on, have some class and at least clap for the guy.

If the real Vancouver Canucks actually show up for the game, and sits Luongo, they have a great chance. Other wise get 20 people from the stands with jerseys, dress em, and play em, almost the same.

And this 'home ice' phenom is totally unexplainable, same 200X85 dimensions, one rink we get low scoring, other mass scoring.

And someone wake up the Sedin's please..............

Home ice advantage gives the home team the ability to make the last line change. So if you're the home team, you have the advantage of matching your lines to whoever they put on the ice. That alone is a huge deal, you almost always get to have the matchup you want while the away team is continually pitted against the best matchup against them.
Plus, crowd momentum is influential, the amount of energy at those games is unreal, blowing the olympics out of the water.

Plus, yes rink dimensions are the same, but otherwise arenas are riddled with differences. The arena in Boston is warmer at ice level, making the ice softer/ stickier than elsewhere. Boards will all have different bounce to them depending on location and humidity, and there is no real standard for mounting the glass. You'll see some stadiums where the seams around the blue line will actually chip the puck in towards center ice instead of continuing around the boards.

All small differences, but it would be like trying to play pool where the felt and bumpers were changed from what you always played. It's the same game, but it feels different and you have to adjust.

Choopie, I still play and have played the game, know the quirks, my comment is why Vancouver seems to choke in Boston during the playoffs, almost like they are not even there at times.
Boston boards are 'dead' and yes the June ice in Boston is sloppy, and bouncing pucks abound after about 5 min in a period. And yes Boston had 'blue boards' that tend to skip board runners out towards center.

These guys are pros, study the videos, adapt, you can't play Vancouver at Boston and vice versa.
Boston plays 'goon' games at home, Vancouver has been playing lake hockey in Boston,officiating has been marginal at times, and the injuries on both sides has really shown the problems developing in the game.

Vancouver scored big during regular season, now they have seemed to forgot how, and yes the Sedin's need to wake up and play the game.

Well Boston did it, and as usual after goal 1 the Canucks went home. Tim Thomas is phenominal, deserves MVP. So wait till next year, head up to the Wild for our NHL games, and we got the Lincoln Stars and Omaha Lancers of the USHL, and the UNO Mavericks tp keep us busy.

Rumor is Lincoln/Omaha is in the running for a AHL Team in 14, hope so.

This is disgusting. Shame on the city. I left downtown as soon as the game ended and came home.

Well, people in Vancouver know how to riot. Get any sweet pics choop?


Also, to those of you saying that Boston is an American team... aren't 16 of the players from Canada? Plus like 4 more are from Europe or something like that?




Classy.
