Vancouver said he'll be in net for game 7, with all the crap the Canucks have pulled this series I hope Boston can figure out their road woes and win the cup denying Canada once again.
Damn. That would be nice though, as much as I have a relative soft spot for Canada getting the cup, I can't justify that enough to actually WANT Vancouver to win. Not to mention, I just don't like Vancouver anyway.

Man, Luongo has just been COLD on the road. Way too much of a hot/cold goalie. Will he get the start in Game 7? I mean he does play much better at home, but still...after how on/off he is...I wouldn't be surprised if he's benched.

He's the only goaltender ever to have 2 shutouts in a series, and be chased twice in the same series!  He got yanked in less than 10 minutes in Game 6.

I don't usually care much who is the "better team" in a game or series, because only the scoreboard determines winners, not better teams.  However, Boston has been the better, more complete team in this series.  In their roads games, they lost 1-0 with 18 seconds left in Game 1, 3-2 in OT in Game 2, and 1-0 in Game 5.  Meanwhile, they won 8-1, 4-0 and 5-2 in their three home games.  Boston has had a chance to win EVERY game in Vancouver and couldn't get a bounce to go their way, Vancouver never had a snowball's chance in any of the games in Boston.

Talk about shitting the bed!  Roberto Luongo had had the weakest championship performance of any pro athlete I've ever seen.  If hockey was more popular, he would've completely let LeBron off the hook!  He sucked ass!  It was one soft goal after another.

Even worse, he criticized Tim Thomas after Game 5 for being too aggressive.  Even worse than that, he complained that Thomas didn't go out of his way to compliment his goalkeeping skills.  Seriously, Roberto Luongo must go down as the Byun Yunk Kim of NHL players... the All Star player who completely falls apart in the only tournament that matters.

Can I toss the Sedin twins who did little this series into the mix especially after one of them guarenteed a game 7 win only to retract it saying he never said it.
