@Vancouver Canucks

I guess they took it personally



Tonight, as the two best teams in the NHL met up 13 years after that infamous 2011 Stanley Cup Final series, it was a game I was excited to watch. The Vancouver Canucks were looking to secure a 13 game point streak first time since 2011-12. An 8 game point streak on the road for the first time since 2010-2011and Thatcher Demko was trying to extend his streak to 10 to set the franchise record. In other words, plenty for the Boston Bruins to play spoiler to and top of it during the All Star break, you probably saw this clip of Jeremy Swaymen getting hugs from the goalies. All except one, Thatcher Demko left him hanging. Well some suggested (in fun of course) that the Bruins may have taken it personally and with the beating they put on the Canucks tonight, it sure seemed that way. They scored not 1 but 2 short-handed goals with Brad Marchand getting it started. This was the 3rd straight game where the Canucks gave up a short handed goal to start the night. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

  1. Obviously probably won't happen but imagine if Bruins and Canucks go to the cup. Wonder if vancouver would riot again?

  2. As a B's fan, this made me very happy. There was NO WAY Heinen should have scored that shortie.. He blew by both those D like they were asleep.

  3. Teams that fail against Boston are the ones who lack discipline, I think there is such top end players for Vancouver, they are a great team, but they can’t let petty stuff get to them, every team at every level has this happen to them. I know rivalry can create some great tv, but all it does is mess up the players rhythm, if they go into the game thinking it’s just another hockey game like any other they would be fine, but just like the leafs, they put way too much pressure on the players in order to create a big spectacle for the fans.

  4. Why is there beef between 2 teams of players who weren’t even around in 2011. 2 completely different teams and players so how is there beef?

  5. That Tocchet coaching style may be wearing heavy on a team that is relying heavily on an outlandish shooting percentage and a hot goalie.

  6. It’s funny my dad came Into my room. I was playing video games and he told me to guess the score I said 4 0 Canucks winning and I didn’t check the score once

  7. And THAT is why Vancouver will exit the playoffs in the first round.
    They don’t have the grit.

  8. 5 all stars, with an all star coach.. what an embarrassing team. On paper they should’ve won this game.

  9. I dont like using the word hate, but there is 3 things I do hate in this life, the Boston Bruins, the Vancouver Canucks, and Elias Pettersson. I wish both teams could have lost that game.

  10. Don’t forget.. the Canucks point leeched off the terrible Sharks and Oilers at the early part of the season. That’s 10-12 points right there.

  11. Nucks are overrated. Good, but not great. Idiots in my town talking Final matchups! I love the team, always have and will, but it’s marquee games like this that make me reserve plans for a parade, haha!

  12. Nothing can replace the memory of Boston losing to the Panthers in the first round of the playoffs. It lives rent free in my head and forever will.

  13. This was the third time since the 2011 finals that the Bruins have beaten the Canucks 4-0, and I remember years ago (2015 I believe) the B's did it in Vancouver. Being at that game, it was certainly fun to rub in the first 4-0 win against the 'Nucks since those finals on the way home

  14. Big bounce back Win over Vancouver!! Bruins dominated the game but I expect we will see a different Vancouver team when we play them later in the month. LETS GO BRUINS!!!!
