Vancouver pouring it on...

Pic isn't showing for some reason, in any case rewatch the youtube video at 1:08 and show me where Rome's head was hit at all. It's clear to anyone watching the replay, his head wasn't hit at all. It was shoulder to back.

I agree with you that it was boarding, I just don't think it was a major. Of course, if it was Marty St. Louis or Gionta (someone small), that isn't even boarding but a regular hockey hit. Too bad for McGinn that Rome has a glass jaw (especially considering Rome is actually the same height/weight).

Rome does not have a glass jaw. I hate the guy, but he's not a pansy.

Would have been a lot different it it hadnt been for those 5 consecutive penalties.

Didn't see the game but wow, Tampa with the comeback. Boston may be having flashbacks of blowing 3-0 leads from last year. Gagne's goal was purty.

I was a T-Ball game for most of the hockey game. When I got there, all the parents were quite happy about being up 3-0. Then, as they got text msgs during our game, the mood soured.

I might have to change my avatar now, however. I hope we give him another chance soon and he gets his mojo back.

You don't have to change your avatar. Roli is a class act, just read this... If there's anyone deserving to win a Cup, it's him after what he did for that family.

That's an awesome story. Thanks.

According to the Tampa Trib, it looks likely that they'll stick with Roli, which I'm glad to hear.

Nothing on the Boston Globe site about it, but "We're going to win," Thomas declared Not a big deal since both teams have played their very best and very worst at times this series.

I kind of want to see Smith starting after he pulled out all the stops in game 4. The guy deserves it IMO.

 

[MotF Bane]

Smith got the start. TB went up a quick 1-0.

Bruins look sloppy, I'm worried.

 

[BrokenVisage]

lol this starting goalie combination gets my vote for having the most generic American names.

Hard fought game by the Bruins, but I want the Lightning to win this series

Go Sharks!

I don't know how the Bruins don't even get a shot on goal for 10+ minutes at a time, can't score on the PP, and still find a way to win. Amazing, it's like they have an on/off switch or something.

Its called Tim Thomas. Not that difficult to see if you're actually watching the games.

Looks like this is pretty much the Canucks series now, oh well - as long as it wasn't Detroit I can be somewhat happy.

If you get there Nucks, and Boston is there too - you better make sure you take down the cup and win it all. Too many arrogant Bostonian's around these parts for them to win another sports title.

Yep. He was amazing last night. Smith did quite well also, but unf. not enough.

May 24th Greg Adams scores in 2OT, sending the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Final.
