Thread: Canucks are going all the way

Just gotta say that the Stanley Cup is Vancouver's this year.

I believe.

from Vancouver perhaps? I haven't followed the NHL for a number of years...I'm English, but love the Ice Hockey. I support the Aves, so I'm hoping they can defeat San Jose and progress...although I wouldn't have a clue to their chances; sometimes the #8 seed can upset the #1s. I now live in Oz and I think the Hockey is only shown on Fox Sports, through Foxtel - which I don't have.

Bummer. I don't care, as long as it's not Detroit.

No offence to the fans but its not my cup of cha.

Big ugly hairy dudes with no teeth who are bitter that they weren't gay enough to be ice skaters....

hahaha....it's not quite that simple but I like your take on it. Amusing. The fact that they could be 'bitter' makes them into hyper-aggressive yet uber-agile and skilled Ice Hockey machines ...cue lots of rugged smashing into one another, amazing 'dekes' from all the fanciful European sorts - that's pirouettes to the non-technically versed - and the odd scrap. Chuck 'em in the sinbin and we're off again.

Bloody marvellous. Ice Hockey is beautiful :ymdevil:

Hate the Canucks now..loved them till 1996

What changed in '96?

Penguins are taking it again

The Canucks are awesome now. I think Vancouver could have a shot.

Penguins are a possibility. I actually hope San Jose does alright since they've always choked so bad in the playoffs.

I didn't watch hockey for 10 years or so, but I've really been back into it for the past 2-3 years. I like the rule changes. They help prevent the thugish goon game referred to, and encourage a faster more skilled game.

Not to keen on Ice Hockey nowadays, but, I used to see a few London Knights games at the London Arena.
