Wow, this is really frightening. And to think Michael Moore said Canada was so peaceful, no murders, no crime, people leave their doors unlocked at night. I know, he'll probably blame America.

Hey, I think one of these guys is Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo!

It's been a long time coming. I have been a Bruins fan from the time my cousin got me interested in watching games on TV38 back in the early eighties.
It's sad that their great announcer Fred Cusik didn't live to see this. His voice will always echo in my mind.

Yes it was a sad day in Vancouver and surrounding area yesterday. We were not happy with the outcome of the game or the fact that the refs were total idiots. May of had not effect on the game but still looked totally stupid. The canucks did nothing to overcome timmy the Giant. Congradulations to the Bruins and their fans. Although the pictures may look like a lot of fans started this riot, pictures are deceiving, it appears that the riot would have happened either way, people were it the area with gas bombs, that had no idea of the outcome, so riot was planned before the game outcome. Looks real bad for the Olympic city to have this, but was NOT Canuck Fans that started it, although some are pictured in bad acts. Oh ya we still have vandalism up here and stupid drug stuff, we are not saints. But we still like Pontiacs as well.

Wow that brings back memories. I recall watching with my dad on an old tv....in fact one of my best memories is 1983(when my parents took me and my brother to our first game-still my only Bruins Game) when Brad Park scored in OT against the Sabers. Good times.

Great for hockey..Original six win with an real American goalie on a blue collar team that won with heart and toughness. Enjoy!

I didn't really care who one. It would have been nice that Vancouver won it being Canadian and all but it's also nice that Boston got it being one of the original teams....

Speaking of Canadians and Boston, what's with all the Canadians on that team? More than half of the whole team is from Canada with the remainder being from Europe and some from the US. Is this typical for the NHL teams these days or is it a fluke that the Bruins are mostly Canadians? And because of that this summer the cup will be mostly in Canada and then Europe and the US. So did Boston really win or did Canada win?

The club won the cup, the players are from all over the globe. I think MOST NHL teams are made up mainly of Canadian born players.

Ya I know, just funnin with ya all!

I'm not a super big hockey fan(spend most of my winter time working on my cars) but I try to watch the Flames games and always the playoffs so I was a little surprised when you said MOST NHL teams are made up of Canadians so I checked the Bruins roster for one and it shows 17 Canadian, 6 European(unless you count Chara as two!), 3 American so there ya go. I had no idea it was that lop sided...

Anyways it doesn't look good for Vancouver when they loose and then complain about the refs all the time. They made a lot of cheap and intentional shots on Boston and also got away with lots too...like the elbow to the head Chara took with no penalty....
