I was right.
link to post where you picked the Bruins to win the Cup...as in before the Finals began.

Call me crazy but you picked Quebec. IIRC.

Congrats to the Bruins....on a a game played full of heart!!!

Nucks....what can you say.....in game 7 you folded like a cheap suit.
Sure you hit the wall that was Thomas...they guy is incredible, but
if you can't find a way in at home in 7 to even put one in the net....with all that
talent, you don't deserve Lord Stanley's Cup.

....and stay classy Vancouver peeps.......you jackasses are as predictable as anything.....you would think that after many moons have passed you would have learned to better yourselves since your classless acts in '94....but nope....you have shown the world that you are still a classless bunch of fans in B.C.

I didn't pick Boston.

My ORIGINAL sentiments however, did come true. This was after watching Vancouver nearly choke against Chicago...my gut feeling then was they lacked the poise and heart to win it all. I even said that. It didn't happen against Nashville or San Jose...but, ultimately, against Boston, it did.




And for Pagani's sakes...please, let's not go into this again.

pass the pipe, bro!

It seems to me you are grandstanding about Vancouver's loss.
You never said Boston would win the Cup, but that Vancouver would not win the Cup?!?!?

Where did you claim before the series began that Boston would win, and Vancouver would lose? I don't recall

I absolutely am grandstanding Vancounver lost.

I hate them almost as much as Detroit. Duh. And how clearly do I have to explain it to you: I PICKED BOSTON TO LOSE TO VANCOUVER IN THE SERIES.

BOSTON TO LOSE. VANCOUVER TO WIN. I PICKED THAT RIGHT BEFORE THE FINALS WHEN I KNEW THE MATCH-UP. YOU CAN FIND THAT POST BECAUSE IT IS THERE. VANCOUVER FOR THE CUP.




But, my post which you're trying to ridicule me on where I'm talking about being right about Vancouver was based on what I said prior TO THE FINALS AND EARLY IN THE PLAYOFFS. I SHOULD HAVE STUCK TO MY GUT FEELINGS.

YOU UNDERSTAND NOW? OR DO I NEED TO WRITE THIS IN GERMAN...?

Fans or not, there are a LOT of Canucks jersys in that mob.

After this disgraceful and disgusting display by Vancouver-ites I could not
be more thrilled and delighted that Boston won the cup.

Congrats to Boston and all their fans.

I'm not defending them. As I said earlier, they are not fans. By looking at the photographs, the average age of the rioters looks to be late teens/early twenties. Probably nothing more than the spoiled brats of parents who seem to be pouring millions of dollars into Vancouver these days. The REAL fans, by far the majority, went home. The assholes doing the rioting would have done the same if the Canucks would have WON the cup. Of course they would be wearing Canuck's jerseys. They were looking for an excuse. Being a somewhat of a hockey fan, I think Boston deserved to win because they outplayed the Canucks. If you want to think that Vancouver deserved to lose because of a bunch of spoiled brats bent on destruction, then that's your privilege.

The local sports radio does "drunken recaps" after the games and find some crazy people to talk to. The self titled "big scary man guy" made himself a local legend when he loudly proclaimed, "Don't make the big scary man guy angry!" during last years playoffs in one of these interviews.

Under control. But, lots to clean up.

Hey...I'm not the only one who thinks your team was one cheapshot too many instead of just playing with their heads down...So, how was my assessment "horrible"...really, I want to know.

From CNNSI:

This series can be summed up in two parts: what happened before Aaron Rome's hit on Nathan Horton and what happened after. Boston seemed dormant emotionally at the time, down 2-0 in the series and looking too much like "Mac" in the old Charles Atlas comic ad -- at least the pre-lifting Mac who got sand kicked in his face. The hit on Horton was a cheapie, but for Boston it proved ironically priceless. It gave them a rallying cry, and from there it was all different.

The Canucks should have learned a valuable lesson from this series, too, if they get another shot at the Cup that is: until you've got the chalice in hand, keep your mouth shut.

Crowd Attacks Man During Vancouver Riot
A man attempting to halt the looting and destruction of a storefront is attacked and severely beaten by the riotous crowd (relevant portion of video begins at 3:15 - Warning: Graphic Video)


http://www.realradio.fm/cc-common/ma...rticle=8715092



Just wow, sore sore sore pathetic losers. Way to stay classy and beat your own fans up... fucking disgusting. Now I'm actually glad that the Bruins won, Canucks fans don't deserve the cup.

AND what is even worse, I'm sure they would have rioted even if they won the cup.

Nothing to do with being sore losers, dude. As you said, they would've rioted even if Vancouver won...

They were looking for any excuse to do what they did.

I hear the riots were bad in '94 when they lost to the Rangers in game 7. I have no remembrance of that; is this worse or was that worse?

It looks like a lot of people are being identified on the Vancouver riot facebook page. Hopefully they get what they deserve.
