    Has there a more deceptive 3-3 series in Stanley Cup history? While the series is teid, the Vancouver wins were all by one goal, and the Boston wins were blowouts. I have to imagine that in terms of total goals, Boston has at least twice as many as Vancouver - maybe even three times as many. It like Luongo has an evil twin that plays the games in Boston.

    Yeah, but this game 7 is in Vancouver, right? The evil twin (or the weak-ass twin, take your pick), is sitting in Logan airport.

    Go Canucks!

    I'm usually an Oilers fan, but at least a Canucks one just for Game 7. :D

    Yeah - it's in Vancouver. Seriously though, it's like it's two different guys. He didn't make it half way through the first period in Game 6 before he got yanked.

    I don't watch regular season hockey - not that it's easy to find - but I do take interest in the playoffs. I don't have a horse in this race, and there's no real "good guy"/"bad guy" dichotomy in this series, so I'm just hoping for a good game. Usually I'll root for the underdog, or the team that's gone longer without success. But it's been over 30 years since the Bruins last title, and I cannot recall Vancouver winning the Cup... well ever. I remember them losing to the Rangers some time in the 90s, but I cannot even think of the last time they even were in the finals before or since.

    I predict that Boston will be leading 3-0 after 2 periods.

    I'll never understand the rioting that often occurs after a hotly contested sports match. WTF is wrong with these idiots. Over 100 people injured.

    Yeah - it's usually the city of the winning team that sees chaos on the streets - although I guess it makes slightly more sense that it would be in the losing city.

    Yowza - I didn't realize it was THIS bad.

    EDIT: I guess it wasn't all bad - if there's a riot going on all around, what better time to get busy with your girlfriend in the middle of the street:

    What a bunch of absolute idiots. I see it's not just European 'Soccer' that struggles with hooliganism.

    Personally, I lost interest in who won this once the Caps get knocked out, but well done Bruins none the less. Tim Thomas deserves a bloody knighthood after his performances.

    My only response is that he is a stupid kid. We set the age of majority at 18 and he is only 17. He may have the body and looks of an adult, but clearly he doesn't have the intelligence/wisdom. Personally, I wouldn't take away his future, he potentially has a lot to give. What I would do is make him pay monetarily (over time if necessary) and a **** load of community service.

    This may be more appropriate for an alley discussion, but I see a lot of this with Teen Snook's peers. He is 15 and many of the girls look like they are in their twenties (which makes me a perv) until they speak and then you realize that they are still children. The same is true with the boys. My soccer team this spring had a handful of boys who look 25, but don't have the mental capabilities of an adult. Personally, I blame growth hormones in the food for making these kids the way they are physically.

    Not that this makes it OK, but the police car was already thorough trashed by the protesters by the time he got around to doing that. That said, if he's charged, the article said it would be for arson, which carries a hefty prison term if convicted.
