ESPN is calling for Boston to win tonight's Stanley Cup Finals. I think its totally up in the air - the Canucks play completely inconsistently from one game to the next and Boston really has nothing but a hot goalie - which can be everything in the Cup. I will be routing for Boston - partially because Choose to Lose is in effect and they wont have my tears - and partially because of predictions like this ::
"The dive"
Against which Bruins player will Maxim Lapierre feign a ghastly injury in Game 7 in the hopes of drawing a penalty? Having pretended to have been impaled by Chara in Game 5, we are guessing he will throw himself to the ice like a sack of potatoes when he brushes against Johnny Boychuk or fling himself into the end glass while passing Adam McQuaid.
Prediction: We'll see it."
I have felt at times that I've been watching soccer with all the flopping the euro-trash players on the Canucks have been doing. "Working" for penalties is about un-hockey as can be - this is a sport where you punch someone in the face if you dont like their play - you dont depend on some dude with a whistle to win nor fall down on the ground crying like a frenchie. I want Vancouver to win - but like the Canucks with Mark Messier, this Canuck team is a bunch of jerks and posers and if they arnt going to win right they shouldnt win at all.
