OFFICIAL: BOSTON BRUINS 2011 STANLEY CUP CHAMPS!!!

[hodog16]

Loved it. Niemi lit up like a Christmas tree and Eager showing what a fool he is. Almost seemed like Vancouver was on the PP for the entire 3rd period 

.
PP is rolling and the Sedins are back. Go for a split in SJ and then wrap it up in 5.

I agree. I'd go:

Lucic - Krejci - Horton
Marchand - Bergeron/Peverley - Recchi
Seguin - Kelly - Ryder
Paille - Campbell - Peverley

That would work well. I also wouldn't mind them dropping Recchi to the 4th and having Peverley play wing with Marchand and Bergeron. And I'd love to have them experiment with Seguin playing with Bergeron and Marchand. Really a ton of options for Claude to mess with. Hopefully he gets it right with whatever settles on.

Dude was out at Caeilis after the game, bought everyone a round. 

Amazing time. Both games were great, so happy I went.

Wouldn't make no sense, because that's the official State bird of Georgia.  

 
Did Winnipeg keep rights to the name Jets like Seattle did for the Sonics??  

Also heard the Oilers are finally getting a new arena in downtown.

It is a false alarm, there is no deal with True North and Atlanta, but they are very close.

The Jets name and logo are owned by the Phoenix franchise so technically they are owned by the league so if the team is to be called the Jets again then True North will have to buy the rights from the league.

Can they keep the player's benches in the foreground of the camera shot, like it is now at Rexall Place? For whatever reason I always thought that was cool...

- DEFENSE...awesome job in two areas tonight. controlling the neutral zone and our blue line. and clearing the front of the net. solid. (even kaberle)
- thomas...no complaints tonight, obviously
- bergeron's return and impact on this team....could not have been any clearer. the back-checking, PK, faceoffs. not to mention he set up pevs for a gimme but pevs could go up over the bar (or under it

)
- thank you, clown claude, for sitting thornton. i love the guy...but he's def the odd man out right now
- lucic...except for one turnover...great effort. the effort is there. the goals will come. his assist on krejci's goal was perfect.
- PP

great effort. they did every one of the little things needed to beat a team like tampa. for instance, lucic and seguins simple spin and dumps leads to the ference goal.

bergy didnt miss a beat. made lecavalier look like a rookie in the faceoff circle.

now just push down on the throat. dont let up.

oh and welcome back winnipeg thrasherjets or whatever.
