Last night was game 7 in the final round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Boston Bruins crushed the Vancouver Canucks at the Rogers arena in Vancouver to bring home the cup. The Bruins took the game by storm with a 4-0 win. The Bruins definitely out played, out hit, and out skated the Canucks. The Bruins certainly had a great year and an even greater playoff run with all their wins against Canucks being blowouts. The Canucks should not dwell on this loss because they had a great year and playoff run as well.
Tim Thomas put on a more than impressive performance throughout the series with the record amount of saves in the playoffs and and impressive 37 saves last night. Who other than him should receive the Con Smith trophy. Mark Recci played very well also, especially for his age. He definitely went out with a bang, finishing his career with a Stanley Cup win. Luongo on the other hand deserves nothing but a pay decrease with his terrible goaltending through the series. Letting in about 4 goals in one period in game six, but on the other hand he had 2 shutouts in the series.
I interviewed Jonathon Brosinsky about this game and he had lots to say. Jon said he thought the game was terrible and that the canucks are a great team with great chemistry but they just didn't have what it takes to beat the Bruins. I asked how he felt about they way both teams played throughout the series and his reply was that he felt that Boston really ruled the series because every game that Boston had a chance to play hard they took it. Vancouver is a good team but they didn't play to their full potential. Jon thought had faith in Vancouver and thought they could pull it off but they just never pulled through.
