If Vancouver has any hopes of winning this game, they should just pull the goalie now. 50 minutes of 6-on-5 should be enough to put 4 goals past Thomas, and it's not like their goalies are doing anything anyway.

looks like they took your advice but forgot to do the whole pulling the goalie part

I love how as Luongo was getting pulled they had the quote he made during the press conference the other day up on screen.

Something something pride something something fall.

Broooooooooooooooooooooooons! Game 7! Please please figure out how to take a shrink ray to the Garden and take it with you!

seriously though what the fuck is up with the nucks

they've lost all of their pazazz

The Bruins crumbled under Tampa Bay's powerplay and the nucks are supposed to have the best powerplay in the NHL and they're like 2 for 30 or something ridiculous

The Otaku Suppository

Just once, figure out how to win a game on the road this series. For f's sake. Spray paint a crude B at center ice if you have to and invite actual bears to sit in the stands. I am willing to try anything. How can you whup them so badly at home and then barely squeak out a loss every time away? It's mind boggling.

Any head injury should result with a suspension, and deniers should be put in their place.

so are head injuries special or does this apply for back/neck ones too?

Staleghoti

Well that was awful to watch

Hopefully the winning at home trend continues.

Knew Boston was gonna come with everything they had, Nucks seemed cocky in pre-game stuff too... uggghhhhhh

Hey, I support your habit. Especially when my team wins.

I didn't expect them to win at all, but I didn't expect luongo to shit the bed so hard and so quickly either

that said the score was better than either of the previous away games so they shhhhhhould take game 7 unless Luongo chokes even harder

The Sharks were the BEST Powerplay and Pk's this season yet again

They really need to build a 2nd and 3rd line

Hanging out by the Garden was so much fun tonight. Looking forward to being down there again on Wednesday.

I swear to the hockey gods if the Bruins win the cup I'm getting their logo tattooed on my arm.

MViking

Also, I sat next to the only Vancouver fans on the train back to my town. Everyone was pretty generally rowdy, but friendly to the Nucks fans.

Didn't see much in the way of Bruins fans supposed assholeishness. Though I suppose it might have been way worse if the Bruins had lost.

Tonkka

I'm just excited that I get to actually watch game 7 instead of hearing everyone react while I just cook food for them.

I'll have to listen to it on the radio at work like a tool

Bummer.

It must be nice to have playoff games that run from 5-8pm.

chromdom

It's not as good as ones that start at 7:30, but yeah, it's pretty sweet

games ending at 1130 make me risk being a tired piece of shit at work the next day

Media Release: Mason Raymond sustained a vertebrae compression fracture. He is expected to be out of the lineup for 3-4 months.

So using the same criteria as the Horton hit, that he didn't have the puck and it resulted in a serious injury, that should be a 4 game suspension, right?

Kochikens

Raymond had Boychuk's stick caught between his legs when he was awkwardly run backwards into the boards. He remained face down on the ice for several minutes before being helped off the surface and was then transported to hospital for further evaluation.

The play went unpenalized and the furious Canucks called for a league review. That review isn't expected to occur.

“The referee said he lost his edge - I don't know,” said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin. “I'm sure for one game, we can have guys step up and play those minutes.”

Boychuk claimed he didn't know what occurred on the play.

“I have no clue what happened,” said Boychuk. “The ref was yelling at me to let him up. I tried to let him up, but he didn't get up. I don't even really remember the play. I don't know what was wrong with him.”

The puck was at Raymond's feet when Boychuk and Raymond got physical with each other. Boychuk started the check legally and finished it because that's what good defensemen do.

It should be a FORTY SEASON SUSPENSION

LTM

What was it some people called for on the Chara hit? "He should be suspended for as long as Pacioretty is out"?

Staleghoti

Arrest him!

I read the word spiiiiine somewhere and that means he's paralyzed!

Jasconius

Raymond was lucky to stand up. When I saw that live I thought he broke something. He should have been on a stretcher. That's a brutal hit. No cushion at all. Just pure spine compression.
