I really tried to stay out of this. I knew my temper would lead me to say something I would regret. But I've had it!
Vancouver had been working really hard. They're had never been a cup in franchise history. But they never gave up. They worked hard to accomplish their goals and they stayed together.
I know what I'm about to say will rile all the boston fans and honestly I do not care. So if you don't want to hear about how your precious team wronged the Vancouver Canucks, stop reading.
This was not a fair match. The boston players made huge hits and the referees weren't calling anything. It was like they were paid to not call anything on Boston and call really stupid stuff on Vancouver. I'm not trying to say they were innocent of everything. I'm saying that they were given NO credit. And the commentary! OH MY GOSH! Most of the time we muted the tv because it got so bad. Luongo this and Luongo can't be trusted to play and Burrows is a cannibal.... Where do they even get THAT from? The Burrows thing was completely blown out of proportion! The dude stuck his glove in Burrows mouth pretty much. Who wants a stinky, sweaty, thick hockey glove in their mouth. What did you think he was gonna do? That doesn't make him a cannibal. And, sure, Luongo let in a few goals. Does that make him the worst goalie or whatever? No!
And let me give you proof of the corrupted referees. A Canucks player takes a horrible hit from a Bruins player and breaks the vertebrate in his neck. Breaks a vertebrate his neck! The dude pretty much breaks his neck! And they don't call anything! Even a minor call would have been fine, but, and this its a big but, THEY DON'T EVEN REVIEW THE TAPE! A guy breaks his neck and they let it go! And then a different time a Canuck player makes a clean hit on a Bruin player against the boards, mind you a CLEAN hit, and THEN they call something! Where's the justice? A guy can break another player's neck, but a clean hit against the boards and they give him a penalty? I hope those referees and the player who broke that guy's neck are ashamed of themselves. I hope the neck breaker guy feels guilty and apologizes. He at least deserves that, even if the league purposely does nothing.
But what really tipped me over the edge and made me post was the PP who says the Boston Bruins deserved to win because the Vancouver Canucks had a dumb name! How can you say something like that! A team deserves to win when it's players work hard for it and actually play the sport and don't act like a bunch of goons. That's all those Bruins were doing out there! And insulting the Vancouver Canucks' name insults the Canadian culture. No, I'm not taking this too far. Canucks is a Canadian word. The closest way you'll understand it is "sharks" or something. So, you just went and insulted the Canadian culture. And for the way you talked, you sounded like you don't know jack about hockey or the NHL or nothing, so you've really got no right. And I think Bruins is a stupid name to. They could have just gone with "bears" and been done with it, but no, they went all fancy.
Possibly my biggest pet peeve is bragging, so when another PP came on declaring like that it made me mad. It's all right to be proud, but bragging the win of a clearly unfair championship, it just blew my mind. Have some respect for the losing team and its fans. All of Canada had to be cheering on Vancouver, the place where the 2010 winter olympics were held so that's a lot of people. And I haven't even mentioned the Canadians living in America(like me) that were rooting for Vancouver. But even though the league was, I'm not going to talk about the canadian/american NHL hockey teams thingy. That's too far.
As a side note, what does the lunar calender have to do with the win at all?
(i guess i gotta say it) but I'm sorry if I offeneded anyone by including them in this post. What can a hot-tempered heartbroken girl do when her team lost unfairly in the biggest game of their lives?
1. Vancouver had been working really hard. They're had never been a cup in franchise history. But they never gave up. They worked hard to accomplish their goals and they stayed together.
and boston hasn't? we've only ever won 1 cup. and that was way back in the '70s.

DID YOU NOT SEE HORTON CONCUSSED ON THE ICE? rome definitely deserved that game suspension. luongo said some pretty nasty stuff about tim thomas. and who actually lets their team lose 8-1? marchand didn't put his finger in burrows' mouth. burrows could have lifted his hand up and removed it, instead of biting it. marchand didn't really care though, it was more the fans and other players that cared.

i don't think you should let things like that frustrate you.
ummm did you just call our players goons? who's got the cup? ok
it was all banter. the bruins rules insult everyone. they're there for laughs.
you could have just gone with sharks

hi friend!
i literally logged on before school, checked the score, what did you want me to say? 'oh hi everyone. bruins won. i'm going to school now bye'
IT'S A MAJOR THING! i posted twice, and i pretty much just said 'ladies and gentlemen, your stanley cup champions, the boston bruins'
i don't really see any problem with that? i didn't say anything rude about the canucks. i haven't even watched any games because of time difference so i can't judge. i've just picked up on highlights and checked the scores. i respect vancouver, i mean, i'm going on holiday there this summer! but allie (disgirlallie) is canadian through and through and lives in virginia, and she was rooting for the canucks, and when we spoke about it earlier, she said we deserved to win.
6. As a side note, what does the lunar calender have to do with the win at all?
us bruins fans have superstitions. like our tumblr 'adam mcquaid prayer circle' worked. but in 2004, the red sox won the world series. there was a lunar eclipse. everyone was just commenting on how it was very similar.
i'm sorry you don't believe we won fairly.
all's fair in love and war.
and it was voted one of the most memorable WS in the history of MLB!
