Get in there! 2-0!!!!
God I'm tired.
Chance here for Canucks to get back into it
Nope 3-0 !!!!
Ah Shart:(
Barring a miracle this should cap a remarkable 10 years for the city of Boston. Championships for the Patriots in 01,03 and 04, Red Sox in 04 and 07, Celtics in 08, and now the Bruins look like finally adding to thier history with a first Cup for 39 years.
Got up late so watched the recorded stuff til I caught up with Live tv at the end of the second period.
Vancouver have been completely without ideas. Haven't done anything since the third goal went in.
Boston are deserved champions and I'm delighted for Recchi and Timmy.
3.36 to go...
4-0 now.
Empty net goal.
Well done Boston!
Pathetic behaviour from the crowd at the presentation.
There ain't nothin wrong with booing Bettman(its was expected really even if the canucks had won he still wud have been booed), they gave the Bruins a good reception though.
didnt take long......sigh
Video here
Doesn't matter. The booing continued whilst Thomas had the trophy.
Deserved win for Boston. They are worthy champions.
I thought the booing turned to applause and whistling while Thomas collected his trophy.
well, there goes Canada's reputation as very polite and civil, or maybe it's just a Vancouver thing....anyway, what time is it? 19 past Luongo.
Couple of bc heads I know said they expected it whether the canucks won or not.
I loved Hockey Night In Canada's closing montage and credits. How fast did that season go by? Some great moments from strong teams and great characters. Well done Bruins.

Also, I like it when Don MacLean throws in a few lines of poetry. Not the first time. In the video above he uses a few lines from Robert Service's Spell of the Yukon. I'll miss him and Don Cherry as much as the action in the off season!
Worth mentioning that the still frame from the video wouldn't be out of place in the totty thread either! I hear those Vancouver girls are a riot.. sorry.
Yes they are...Quote:

Well, its long overdue at this stage but I gave to say Setanta/Premier Sports having the rights in Ireland and Britain is a pain in the hole.
They are using a lot of team/fs coverage and its not a patch on HNIC.
Pretty underwhelmed so far with the season as a result.
Setanta's coverage is very poor compared to ESPN, but at least it's something. I'm hoping ESPN will buy the rights for the playoffs when they come around. I've gotten to see Jagr and the Flyers play twice so far this season, so I'm happy enough! I'm still not fully attached to one team, so I'll just fanboy over Jagr for the time being.
"Something" sucks when you are used to the champagne of HNIC. I'll sit down tomorrow night and plot my way through the weekend.
But ESPN America used the local feeds too. Apart from HNIC, there is no national games at the moment
Versus start their coverage this week, so I'll assume Setanta will take that.

Watched Boston @ Toronto last Saturday night, and they used the HNIC programme, but didn't show Coaches Corner.....?????
Leafs on Setanta Ireland tonight v Tampa Bay from 0030. NYIAOW!
Also dodge, could you change the title of this thread to just Ice Hockey. Cheers.
Having serious trouble with coverage this year. It's so sporadic. Very disappointing.
Beaten by Vancouver again at the Air Canada Centre.
8 years and counting. Getting really pee'd off at Setanta. They had the CBC:HNIC coverage and during the period-breaks they cut to endless ads and idents.
Watched Boston - Flyers on Saturday and most of Flyers - Dallas last night. A 6-0 defeat and then 4-1 win for the Flyers. Giroux made a big difference returning from injury with a 4 point game.
The big day is later. Love the Winter Classic. Fingers crossed for some CBC coverage and my first acquaintence with Mr Cherry all season.
6pm Setanta Ireland
Boom
Amazing season so far for the Rangers, hopefully will continue against the Flyers tonight ;)
I'd expect the coverage to be NBC, they probably have the international feed on this one.
So, seems yet again Setanta's pathetic coverage continues.
They are showing Connacht v Leinster now rather than at 830. I'm livid!

Seems the game has been delayed by 2 hours...

I'll take that back for now Setanta.
Jagr and Hartnell have been great.
That's because Jagr is a beast of a man, and a sexy beast of a hockey player.
Great comeback from the Rangers from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Lundqvist saved a penalty shot with 19 seconds left too.
Great last period there.
Shame Setanta don't give us the intermission chat. :(
Another great performance from the Rangers, top of entire league now. Lundqvist showing again he's by far the best 'keeper in the NHL. Hopefully the wins will continue at home to Florida on Friday. Glad the "winter classic" is over and done with for another year. Not a fan of it at all. Hockey is far better indoors with the fans right up against the rink
