commentary...

when your team have out-scored your opposition,23-8,and have a goaltender,with a goals against average(G.A.A.),of 1.15,and a save percentage,of just over .963,stopping 230 of 238 shots,in the Finals,you are supposed to win... when your team were 2-33,on the power play,have scored only eight goals,in seven games,and the other team has more short-handed goals,than you have power play goals(Boston had three short-handed goals,in series),you are supposed to lose... Vancouver never played like they should have,in entire series... they played like goons the first three games,and disrespected the Bruins,in the press,and even Roberto Luongo made Tim Thomas furious(in private),about how he would have stopped Vancouver's game winning goal,in game five,in a 1-0 loss,for Boston,the day before game six(puck bounced off him at a weird angle,and the bounce went off his stomach padding,as he tried to stop puck)... when Vancouver won the first two games,the fans,in Vancouver,even thought they had won the Stanley Cup,even though they had scored only four goals,in both games,and won 1-0,nineteen seconds left,in game one,and won 3-2,eleven seconds into overtime,but Bruins had out-played the Canucks most of first two games,or even played the Canucks,to a standstill,in first two games of Finals... honestly,i had the same feeling that the Bruins were playing much better,and that it reminded me of the Sharks/Red Wings series,and the Sharks had been out-played most of first three games,except for game two,against the Red Wings,but in that case,the Sharks won three games,because of a single defensive breakdown,in each game,and were the better team... however,Vancouver won both games,but really did not impress me at all,because Boston was playing very good defense,and unlike Jimmy Howard,the difference was Tim Thomas with those outstanding overall playoff numbers... Thomas made only two mistakes in series,and both were game winning goals,for Vancouver,by being over-anxious,at end of game one,and in first eleven seconds,of overtime,in game two,when Vancouver's Alexandre(correct spelling)Burrows scored on the second fastest overtime goal,in NHL history,but that was high point in the series,for the Canucks,and turning point of series was when Aaron Rome pounded Nathan Horton,into ice,with late hit,in first period(at 5:07),of game three,and left him,with a concussion... that was rallying cry,for Bruins,"let us win it for Nathan...",and Canucks were out of sync,after that game,in series...
