Chara's gotta be more aggressive than that.. Yikes.

Completef****** joke, there is no other way to describe it.. The guy who shouldn't have even played in the game is literally the difference on all three goals....

Vancouver is going to win the Cup i.e. Next season can't come fast enough

[jeff48109]

well, its also a joke that Horton scored the series winner against Tampa, when he should have been suspended.

[evilmrt]

So I finally get to a TV as soon as OT is starting. Burrows scores on a brain-fart from Thomas and Chara not caring. NBC coverage over.

HOORAY NBC!

[MGreenberg]

Pure stupidity by all Bruins involved in OT. What the f*** was Thomas doing there diving like a mile out of his net. And does it always seem like players who should be suspended have the biggest games? Like the five OSU players who should have been gone during the bowl game.

[Barrie]

Reminds me of 2009 when Malkin should have been suspended for Game 3.

Gonna be interesting sports talk radio on Monday.

I haven't been watching the game since the officials have botched the last few playoff games (awardind phantom PPs). And with biting now allowed in the NHL, I don't watch hockey when the kids are awake because NHL hockey is now bad for kids. However, the little I did flip through the game to watch 2 minutes here, 3 minutes there, it was all Bruins. Canucks have had the easiest road to the finals that I've personally ever witnessed (and I have been watching hockey for over 20 years). Bottom line, will be a tragedy if those gutless Canucks win the cup. When they can get away with such coward and gutless antics as biting people, it proves that the sport has gone to s*** and has become the official trailer trash sport.

The way Canucks play the game is a disgrace to such a great sport. Now it has become trash, and kids should not be allowed to watch the game. I need to go take another shower, I feel dirty after watching half of the period.

Anyone know what kind of ratings the finals are drawing? I dont' know if anyone is even paying attention, shy of hardcore hockey fans.

I heard in Boston for Game 1 they got higher ratings than the Celtics-Lakers. Also I heard Game 1 was the highest rated nhl game in the US since 1999.

We coulda had this route if we woulda won the president's trophy. Instead the wings chose to suck on defense most of the year.

I heard the NHL didn't even draw a 1 rating which his horrific in game 1. But, I have no link, just heard it on the radio.

Hence whY i'm asking.

2008 we had an easy road to the Cup.

My source if from the radio as well. Although I find it hard to believe Game 1 of 2011 was more watched than the Wings-Pens and Flyers-B.Hawks finals!

[Chairman Maouth]

Nearly as good as the win; Lapierre trolling Bergeron.

Here's a link from nhl.com

Highest rated game 1 in 12 years. Still didn't come close to beating SCF Game 6 last year which was the highest rated game in 36 years or something like that.

Oh ok, highest rated Game 1, that makes sense.

Really? That sucks, good thing in Detroit we can see the CBC feed. I know I should maybe tune into the NBC feed to help the US ratings but I cannot stand their play by play.

At least they don't have a hard on for the Canucks like CBC does. I get that there will be a slight bias but come on.

No, he shouldn't have.

[GMRwings1983]

That's the weakness with having a goalie like Thomas.

He's too wild and unpredictable, which occasionally causes him to do stupid things even in the most important moments.

[dragonballgtz]

It's pretty easy to filter out the bias parts and I rather do that than listen to NBC which is shown in HD.

As far as the actually game goes the Bruins are so up and down in games it's amazing. Even after they scored the second goal I was just waiting for Vancouver to tie it up and win it. Nucks can move the puck so damn good once they settle things down it disgusting.
