OT: The Official Stanley Cup Finals Game 7 thread

[Uncle Rico]

Can't help thinking how awesome it would be if Fred Cusick and Johnny Peirson were still around to call this game (I guess Peirson is still alive; Cusick died in Sept. 09). Maybe for old times' sake I'll download that Emerson Lake & Palmer "Nutrocker" song and crank it.

Let's just hope it doesn't turn out to be one of those nights for the Bruins...

I usually try not to respond to my own posts but I did some research and found that -- according to Wikipedia -- the version associated with Channel 38/Bruins in the '70s was actually done by the Ventures and was called "Nutty."

2-1 B's

Chara and Bergeron scores.


Keys for the Bruins:

Score first- Luongo always gets shaken when the opponent scores first.
Finish your checks- Have to be physical tonight unlike game 5 in vancouver
As Recchi put it..have fun out there and give 100% on every shift

GO B's

And to add to that: Glad vancouver fans are staying classy over on their forum. I just read like 3 threads. Calling for our players getting hurt and they hope the city burns after we lose. Their team cheap shots like no other and players guarantee wins and say i would have saved that goal. Felger got something right here: http://boston.cbslocal.com/?podcast...k=true&config_file=config.xml&dcid=CBS.BOSTON

The Gilardino dive against Celtic at 1:12 was one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, ever...gives reinforcement to those that claim Italians are divers...

We ARE the world's best muff-divers:wha::rocker::rocker::rocker:

One observation on the decade of dominance by Boston Teams: One of my favorite pictures was one taken during the Celtics championship parade. It was a of a kid with his parents wearing a home made T shirt. It said "Nine Years Old....6 parades". I love that shot. It says it all.

BTW it was in the Globe IIRC, I think it would be great picture to share if some one with the know how could access it.

Reminiscence: I was a big hockey fan back in the late 60's early 70's.(in my early 20's) Never missed a game on Channel 38. Worked part time in bars where the Bruins hung out. I had to ask Cashman to leave a dozen times (a real nice guy even when drunk), shared baseball gloves with Sanderson in a summer bar softball league (he owned one...a bar, not the glove....the glove was mine )

Well after we we watched the Bruins win the cup in St Louis, all my roommates made plans to go to Logan and meet the plane when they came back. I don't remember the time, except It was late and we were drunk. I don't know how we managed to get to the airport. At the time I had a cast on my ankle, recovering from a football injury. My last memory of that trip was getting on the down escalator (a long one) with my crutches and falling almost s-l-o-w- m-o-t-i-o-n all the way down. My friend thought I was dead....but I popped right up in a second and kept heading for the gate. No fool like a drunk fool. the next morning was another story. I ached in places I didn't even know I had.

Those were the days where it was the BRUINS who owned the town. The Celtics were unappreciated, the Red Sox weren't a cult, and the Pats were still looking for a place to plays. The Bruins were good, they were characters, and they were accessible. They literally were the reason about 20 public skating rinks were built in the Greater Boston area.

Its nice to see them have another shot at the Cup. I wish them luck....but if they win, I won't be going to the airport this time to see them land.

Best of luck Bruins.

Have to say the last month has been real fun to watch.

 

[patriot lifer]

well, the way these games have been going, if we we're not blowing them out then it'll be a tight loss. May the schwartz be with them. opcorn:

Some of us are old enough to be spoiled. Growing up, it was rare to go more than a few years without a championship until '86
Born in '59 just in time for Celtics championship #2,'60,61,62,63,64,65,66,68,69, Bruins in 70,72, Celtics in 74,76,81,84,86......
Then '01,03,04,04,07,08...and hopefully....'11
IF the Bruins win, the coaches of all 4 four of the major sports teams will have won championships with those teams. Has that ever happened before?????

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

The team that has scored the first goal of the game has won all six of the Cup finals contests.

So important to score first

Game starts at 1 AM here in London...

You have no excuse to be sober then! After the Bruins make history feel free to torch a couple of cars (preferably ones with Manchester United bumper stickers) in true sporting tradition .

Just saw this via -- of all people - -Breer on Twitter.

Nathan Horton pouring Boston water on Vancouver ice at Game 7!

Great stuff.

Just got in from the beer store, getting quiet out there around Halifax, got my case of Keiths....come the hell on B's....you can do it....!

I think a Lunar Eclipse just happened.

I seem to recall another Boston Sports team that clinched a championship the night of a Lunar Eclipse too

Hopefully that bodes well

Yup. Shaughnessy pointed that out a few days ago, same as '04 Sox in Game 4. The stars, literally, could be aligned. Check out the Google home page.

Opposite here.

They're playing "Where the Streets Have No Name" at the arena - -Patriots fans must see that as a good sign (SB 36 halftime show).
