NBC coverage ended just after 11pm est unfortunately.

And they're trying to grow the game...? An American team that hasn't won since the 70s just beat a Canadian one in Game 7, they have their American goalie hero in Timmy Thomas (Michigan, YES!), and they don't attempt to sell this thing to the unconverted public?

[Vladifan 680]

To be honest I am NOT surprised that Vancouver fans would boo Thomas. I understand why they'd boo Bettman but come on don't boo Thomas.

I don't think they were booing Thomas. In fact they cheered him twice; they also cheered Lucic and Recchi. I thought they were pretty much a class act.

Meanwhile, congrats to the Bruins and Timmeh Thomas!! And GOODBYE, LUOWNEDOH!

Do those douchebags in Vancouver not realize that, hey, that was actually SOMEONE'S CAR. It's not like it's an empty mailbox you're overturning. Morons.

I wish Dirty Harry would pop out and shoot those ******* punks.

And that there's families with kids leaving the game nearby.

[Vladifan 680]

So, uh, I think I won the playoff picks game. Do I get anything as a prize?

Ummm, hellleuoo? If you're talking about picking Boston to take it 4-3, you ain't alone. You just better be ready to share, bubba!

[Red Wings Addict 787]

LOL, ya I'm sure Boston is going to win the cup now

Damn... Never watched a riot before as it happened.

[IllinoisRedWingsFan 49]

Were you even watching? They cheered Thomas when he hoisted the cup, a pretty damned good cheer for the guy on the opposing team. They booed when Bettman was out there. God Bless Vancouver fans for booing that piece of s***.

No I wasn't because both TV's at my place were being used for stupid reasons. But I must have misread earlier reports. Then again I agree for booing Bettman I would boo him as well!

Surprised?

Hey, I picked them during the first round!

Looks like the cops are nailing lots of idiots in Vancouver.

[IllinoisRedWingsFan 49]

How many people will be playing hookie ya think? Read it for yourselves.

Congrats, Boston! Way to pull it out and add insult to injury by shutting them out.

Luongo is going to get crucified. I am still surprised Boston did it. I called them in the finals earlier this year, but only half believed it would happen.

Anyway, good for the Original 6!

Always bugs me that Cup coverage cuts off so early every year. There should be post-game on NBC.

[P. Marlowe 748]

They're feeding the fire with trash. Wait, is that Torres?

Oh.

Never mind.

Congrats on your EXcellent taste! :beerbuddy:

[Guest Crymson]

This was perhaps the most pathetic game 7 performance I've ever seen. That it was in the finals makes it worse than the time the Avs dropped that 0-7 game to the Wings. Geeze.

[BigWillieStyle 662]

*cough*

Dammit!!! I was just looking for that one. Wonder if he'll come back to school us some more.

I wish Dirty Harry would pop out and shoot those ******* punks.

Just shows how absolutely classless a lot of fans are. I'd be happy if a meteor somehow struck Vancouver, as long as the Bruins are already out of the city.

[edicius 3,269]

Chara's favorite player growing up was Lids.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Damn... Never watched a riot before as it happened.

Very depressing to watch.

[Lonewuhf 47]

Very depressing to watch.

Also infuriating.

[P. Marlowe 748]

Chara's favorite player growing up was Lids.

Rask's favourite was Bob Essensa!

Edit: Oh, I didn't know that Essensa is a member of their staff. Must be cool to Rask.

Random thought: Isn't it odd that the finals went until mid-June? Seriously? This playoff run seemed to take forever.
