“Hockey fans rejoice!”
Okay, let’s hold up a second before that gap in your teeth becomes so pronounced you can no longer eat corn on the cob.
The Vancouver Canucks were the best team by far in the NHL during the regular season (117 total point, 10 better than Washington). They have the best man between the pipes in all of hockey (Roberto Luongo has 38 wins which ties for the best). And they should NOT be even close to winning their first ever Stanley Cup.
The Boston Bruins ought to be up 6-0 in the series. This series should be so over that the Bruins should now be getting over their champagne hangover. The B’s should be getting that grisly silver taste out of their mouths. The Chowder Chunkies should be lying on a beach somewhere with their country singing heart-throbs. Boston should have won already.
Tim Thomas has given up a total of 8 goals in the six NHL Finals games. And Boston has scored 19 against Thomas’ opposite number. Vancouver has won 3 games, by 3 goals all coming in the 3rd period or in overtime.
Boston is clearly the best team in this series. Tim Thomas is clearly the best goalie in the WORLD right now. Boston should be Stanley Cup Champions in only a matter of hours.
But that’s the beauty of sports, the beauty of hockey. It doesn’t matter HOW you win, it’s IF you win that’s all that really matters.
GAME 7: BOSTON @ VANCOUVER 6:00 PM
