Agreed, I think one of the Vs. announcers made the flippant comment right after the play (think this is where this is coming from), I see nothing wrong with it.

cant really tell if Sedin did not have possession and control of the puck and was making every attempt to avoid the goalie. I would have called a roughing or interference penalty (if sedin didnt have possession) against thomas. the crease is there to protect the goalie however, this means that the goalie must respect the players moving outside the crease and allow them to play the puck. thomas knew he was going to be beat so he charged at sedin. Its a tricky call but i would have penalized the goalie. But i fef minor hockey and my take is very different then the NHL. I monor hockey goalie does that and i down the team one player for 2min
Great game last night! Canucks continued with the cheapshots and dives, while the Bruins played a solid, physical game of hockey. I loved watching Timmy retaliate after Burrows slashed the stick out of his hands.
Great work by Boston last night.

good point, Craig.
Vancouver did something that was very smart. We all know Luongo was shaken for the remainder of the series, I am surprised that they pulled them though. Smart move on their part, but just surprising.
That was great for Thomas to get a shutout going into the 5th game, his confidence will be high, I just he stays closer to the crease like he has the last two games.
Can't wait for the next game.

you couldn't pay me to watch the nba finals. but the stanley cup is must see tv!!!
I couldn't agree more. I just could never get into basketball, playing or watching. But I can remember when I learned to skate, before I have cognitive memory that is for sure and I still play to this day.
There is so much to the game besides the rules...enforcers, mental strategy, tempo, etc.
Unfortunately we are in the minority in the US, I don't know the stats, but I think it is safe to say more follow basketball than hockey.

this will be the third final game that i have shut off in my life. the funny thing is the first two times was last week.
not true, remember the Habs series? it was flipped flopped from the Vancouver outcomes; started off two losses at home and two wins away...
