The Cup of Stanley 10-11

[Ropey]

Another weird goal.

Those are going in for Boston. They aren't going in for Vancouver.

This is shaping up to be an interesting series, if this gets tied up its like we start over.

it's a whole new ballgame.

Vancouver in six or seven. I say six but I've been known to give wrong projections before .

a friend of mine is going to game 5

The Bruins are wearing down the Canucks physically. The Canucks just can't keep up.

I blame Luongo. He is a freakin' sieve. 7 goals on 23 shots. Is that a record? I've seen pee wee games with better goaltending stats. He's stinking up the place! Seriously, he has a confidence problem.......

And I think these last two games have shaken it dramatically.

He also had two very bad games against the Blackhawks, who blew them out in those games in the first series. So he's been through this before.

He DOES have to play better. Because if he doesn't, Boston will win.

they should put him in for the next game, his backup was a damn wall!

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Just win, baby!

I heard on the radio this morning that Luongo is starting tonight.

 

[Valerie]

I don’t think he’s lying this time. Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said Thursday that he would start goaltender Roberto Luongo against the Boston Bruins on Friday night in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

“You can bet on that,” he said.

Of course, Vigneault said he would start Luongo against the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 6 of their first-round series, and he didn’t do it. He benched Luongo and gave Cory Schneider a surprise start under circumstances that seemed, at least on the surface, very similar to the ones the Canucks face now.

The Canucks had been outscored over two games then, 12-2; they have been outscored over two games now, 12-1. Vigneault had pulled Luongo in back-to-back games against the ‘Hawks; he pulled him last game against the Bruins and could have – should have – pulled him the game before that.

No kidding this time: Luongo starting Game 5 - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

 

[Montrovant]

The only problem is that Luongo is in large part the reason they won the first 2 games. Yes, he's been crap the past couple of games....but he's gotten you to what is now a best-of-3 Finals, do you put in the backup at this point? Playing well in relief is not the same as playing well as the starter.

Either way, whoever starts in goal, the team in front of them needs to play better. With Thomas playing as well as he is Vancouver can't allow Boston many chances.

 

[Toro]

Of course he's going to start Luongo.

Ya dance with the one that brung ya.

 

[Zander]

Of course he's going to start Luongo.

Ya dance with the one that brung ya.

True dat!

We should have a hard hitting and very close game tonight. I expect Luongo to show up with a vengeance. Both teams want this and they are very well matched. I would not be surprised if we see another 1-0 game.
GO BRUINS!!!

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Of course he's going to start Luongo.

as long as the b's make it past the first period it will probably go good.

 

[Montrovant]

Playing Luongo appears to have been the right call!

 

[Ropey]

And that was a blanking of the Bruins. Onward to the hive ho...

 

[Toro]

Crap! These guys are giving me a cardiac!

Vancouver has won 15 games in the playoffs, 11 by one goal, 3 by two goals, one of which included an empty-netter.

Virtually every win is fricking nerve-wracking!

 

[del]

vancouver's defence played much better.

good game-too bad we lost it.

Ever has this been their way. You can change the entire team and ownership and this still happens. I've been there for both drives to the Cup.

Go figure.

 

[Zander]

another 1-0 game....I expect this series to go seven. Boston has pounded Vancouver on home ice....
