Unlike the Heat, the Canucks choked!

[Renew Deal]

They were the better team with the 2-0 advantage! The Canucks turned into thugs and pissed off the Bruins. That was a huge mistake.

1. And didn't show up the last 2 games

[joeybee12]

2. I think the Bruins were the better team...

they lost the first two games but played well...they definitely looked like the better team last night.

Trivia...they're the first team to be down 0-2 in the finals and come back to win.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

4. Nope.

42 Toronto (down 3-0)
66 Montreal
71 Montreal
09 Pittsburgh

All down 0-2 in cup finals and won best of 7.

ETA: GRAAATZ to the Broons & their fans.

6. That's what they told me on ESPN! nt

5. I'd say the Canucks had the edge in skills, except for goaltending,

and that was evident in all seven games. But the Bruins were the better team, and certainly the strongest and most determined...

8. The Bruins were the better team, by far.

[joeybee12]

9. They certainly played better as a team...

Vancouver seemed, for lack of a better word, disjointed...and while Vancouver supposedly had better players, or star players, doesn't matter if they get outplayed.

[Upton]

3. Yeah, Vancouver was feeling the pressure..

coming from carrying the hopes of not just Vancouver and the province, but the entire country. Canadian based teams have now lost their last 5 Stanley Cup Finals.

I guess you forgot though about the 15 point lead the Heat blew in game 2 with about 7 minutes left...now that was truly a choke job.

[HuckleB]

7. Hardly.

They eeked out three one goal wins. They were never the better team.
