Get a load of our fellow Justice League: Twitter edition cohort. @faqu94 sends his best along with a picture of himself getting ready for Game 7. @michealrioux later pointed out: “I love how he wolfed down a bag of Old Dutch chips right before the pic."
Classic case of crushing Old Dutch and taking an epic pic if you ask us.
Game 7 for all the beans is all that’s left Nation. It's a good old fashioned GDB: SCF7.
THE GREAT WANYETO
"It's time for bold action and declarations of victory. Good luck fellas. Bruins 5 - Canucks 2"
– The Great Wanyeto. Before Game 6.
NOT TOO SHABBY
As a person who sold his TV to attend Game Six of the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals, we can identify with the importance of the big old W the Bruins were able to take home. But the Oilers shaped hole in our heart can attest to the fact that Game 6 wins - no matter how dominating they may be - do not a Stanley Cup winner make.
So when we say good luck to the Boston Bruins we mean it, understanding that as a fan the loss stays with you for a good long time. But as a player what are the odds are you are going back to the Finals again in your career?
Someone with a calculator! Quickly now! What percentage of NHL players in the SCF have appeared in a Cup Final game again in their career?
Can’t figure it out? Har har har.
Neither can the Canucks it would seem.
Go BROONS. Win it for Tim Thomas.
But they have spicy cheetos and Snickers ice cream bars!!
mmmmmmmmm old dutch ketchup chips.
I dont know if I want my ice cream to have Spicy Cheetos and Snickers in it. That sounds like a terrible combination...like the Cup and Vancouver*

"What percentage of NHL players in the SCF have appeared in a Cup Final game again in their career?"
I don't know but here's a fun fact, kids: in 1919 the Stanley Cup Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and Seattle Metropolitans ended in a no decision due to the Spanish flu epidemic! Kerpow! Zowee!
For the love of Brule!
check this article out about the new 2011 stanley cup champs!!!

Jayzuss!!!!
Following in the footsteps of Travis Dakin (commentor #4), I am doing the unthinkable and also (briefly) changing my profile picture from Paul Coffey to Ray Bourque. Go Bruins! (Paul, this is only temporary, you will always be my hockey hero).
Took awhile to change, apparently.
Any chance this site can become "Bruins Nation" for just one night?
I have a feeling this is going to be a dirty dirty game and the refs are going to let it fly. I think both goaltenders are going to get run over tonight and a possiblility of a lot of goals both ways. As much as I regret saying it, I think the Canucks are going to have a controversal game 7 win tonight. And they will need to call in the army to get all the crazy asians under control as they celebrate their first true Canadian tradition.
You know whats kinda sad. I went to the Vancouver Army site to see what articles they had going and even though they are in the SCF they only seem to have one article a day. Oilers didn't even make the playoffs and average around 4 articles a day.
I like the Canucks.
Now Sedin is backtracking about Guaranteeing the win. God I hate this team. They cant even guarantee a win properly. You dont apologize for telling the world you're going to win. You just go out and win or come back on your shield.
He's already got one foot out the door. Even he doesnt believe they will win.
Boston 4-1
Conn Smyth to Thomas
Canucks fans go back to
eating Edamame and picking Mushroomsbusiness as usual.i too have gone to nucks army and couldnot believe that most of the articles the last couple o weeks have had no comments. maybe nucks fan cant read there4 unable to comment.TODD how in the hell can a goalie with a save % of abt .700 on the road be mvp?
maybe if the article were in Chinese or Japanese they would get more responses.
just checked nucks army gd thread posted at 10:30am 1 coment and 2 replys at3:30 sad also there poll shows 67% pick boston to win
My fun facts of the day.
#1 - Not only has the team that scores first won the last 6 Stanley Cup final games 7's, but there hasn't been a lead change in a finals game 7 since the Flyers blew a 1-0 lead against the Oilers in 1987. The moral, score first and you win.
#2 - If you exclude empty net goals, the last three final game 7's were all decided by a score of 2-1.
My call for tonight, bruins go up 2-0 and win 2-1.
that is just horribly racist, i am both from vancouver and chinese and i can read. most canucks fans aren't asian anyways...
Tim Thomas shuts the door and Bruins finally win one 3-0 in Vancity.. 3rd goal is the ole empty netter... Timmy Thomas gets the MVP... and I don't care how devoted of a Canucks fan you are... if you think Luongo is deserving of the MVP yer delusional. The guy's looked like a peewee wet paper bag on the road.. should have been pulled in all three games if his coach would have had any brains in game 3... Bruins deserve this more. They've been more consistent on their road games where the Canucks were a no show. It's a travesty if the Canucks win this. At least if they do it'll be 40 years before they do it again....
Oh yeah.. and bring on the Riders and Esks on TSN on Friday!!
YAAA BABYYYYY YAAAAA :)
I cannot believe how excited I am for this game. I really haven't been following the playoff's that closely this year but the SCF's has got me fired up. And it is only because of one reason...MY HATRED FOR THE CANUCKS!!!!
I don't even know if it is the Canucks so much, I respect the fact that they are a good team but damn I hate some player's and all of those fans!
GO BRUINS GO!
NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY HEY GOOD BYE..... 2-0 START FLIPPING POLICE CASS LOSERS
HEY TODD YOU WERE RIGHT LOU SHOULD BE MVP HE SCORED ONE MORE GOAL THAH TIMMY.
woo hoo 3-0 good thing this game is on nbc that cbc crew led by homer houghson are cryin on the air ...havnt seen cbc show the dejected losers outside
Since lighting the Olympic Cauldron (paid by tax payers for the Olympic Games and NOT the Canucks)... What is the goals for goals against ratio?
The Hockey Gods Are Always Watching.
Yeah the hockey gods are watching, that stantion bounce was karma for the San Jose series!
Wonder if the guy who paid $14K for a pair of tickets feels he got his money's worth.
At least fans get to see the cup raised in Vancouver.
Wait for it... wait for it... what's the sound... the collective out of the Vancouver Canuck bandwagon jumpers just got loosed....
Ahhhhh... as my 6 year old son loves to say.. Vancouver Canucks Suck...
This will be a glorious night....
Muhahahaha! Remember this tripe?

Keep the negativity coming hockey fans of losing teams. Kesler takes that negative energy, swallows it down and turns it into body checks and goals. Luongo takes it and shoves it in his pads to make them bigger and block more shots. The Sedin twins and Burrows... well they don't understand English very well so they don't even know about your bitterness. They haven't had time to learn it what with all the perfect passes and sweet goal scoring they've been doing. Bieksa... well you're lucky he's so busy captalizing on bad bounces or he might come to your house and eat your babies.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go plan a parade route. GO CANUCKS GO! BELIEVE IN BLUE! KES WE CAN! IN LU WE TRUST! BIEK-CELLENT! WIN DA TURD & DA CUP!
I would have never guessed that Bieska is a worse goalie than Luongo.
not by much
and how fitting...the crowd was waving white towels at the end.
Boys, there's something wrong with my beer tonight. It tastes.....so...... sweet!!!!
~Wow. classy vancouver~
cue the "Boston Model"
Congratulations to the Vancouver Canucks, the greatest hockey team ever assembled (according to the very knowledgeable and winning fans of Vancouver). Classy fans all the way, throwing stuff on the ice at the end. Even when the Oilers lost the Stanley Cup on home ice, Edmonton fans never... oh wait.
Mad props for this one Mr. President.
And the classy Vancouver fans waste no time to set fire to the first overturned car. What is the over - under for fatalities
So happy, so happy.
Watching a dejected Kesler was probably the best sight I could ever see other than the Oil hoisting Stanley!
THANK YOU BRUINS!
There was an article in the Vancouver Sun today that headlined "Vancouver police don't expect repeat of ’94 riots".
these riots are scary and embarrassing for the league.
Fantastic play by play tho. Kudos to CBC.
Stupid riot took away all the fun I was supposed to have in relishing the Canucks losing. Oh well, there's always THE ENTIRE SUMMER!!!
This seriously could not have gone any better. I kept saying to myself "Flames lost in seven, Oilers lost in seven, Canucks WILL lose in seven". A 4-0 loss ON HOME ICE to boot?? Christmas came early!!
What a day, what a day. I'm really excited to see everyone incredibly depressed at work tomorrow. Which shirt should I wear, Messier or Ranford?
Vancouver has a good chance to be back in the cup next year 2012. The only teams in the west that will improve will be Chicago and LA. SJ looks like it could decline, Det always good but not good enough.
In the east Boston, Philly and Pittsburg.
