Hell yeah, Tim Thomas. A congrats to Luongo was not only classy, but probably pissed Roberto off and caused more riots in Vancouver. Also, the fact that he is still rocking the 70s stache because his daughter likes it is fantastic. When you're that good, you can crush a stache and not have to explain it to anybody.
Did everyone know that "Vezina" is German for whale's vagina? Stay classy, Tim Thomas, stay classy.
I'm honestly so pumped for all the true Bruins fans out there. I'm not one, but can absolutely understand how they feel. I remember how it felt when the Sox won in '04, making all the crap that fans had put up with for so long a distant memory. Thankfully, for me, it didn't have to go seven games, but it didn't really matter. I watched the game with my Dad and even though they were up 3-0 in the ninth, he started to lose it when the Cardinals got one guy on in the ninth. He didn't want any craziness, just an end to the game and an end to the "1918" chants. A majority of Bruins fans either weren't alive the last time the Bruins won the cup, were very young, or lived through it and deserve another chance to see it and live through the excitement.
So, for all the true Bruins fans out there, enjoy it, embrace it, and I really hope they bring the cup back to Boston for you.
I don't remember, in my lifetime of watching sports, someone who talked this much trash and not only didn't back it up, but looked SO bad that he had to get yanked from a game. I mean, this was unreal! Three goals on eight shots, with the first two shots being must stops. I wonder if those would have been easy saves for Thomas? Just sayin'. Have their been two more hateable characters than LeBron James and Roberto Luongo so close together and performing so inconsistently on the big stage?
Anyway, now it's a one game playoff for the Stanley Cup. The Bruins have scored two goals in three games against Luongo in Vancouver, so they have to prove they can take one on the road. This is going to be the first game seven for the Bruins in the Stanley Cup. Considering they are an original six team, that's saying something. I honestly have no idea what to expect, but they need to be aggressive from the drop and man, if they could ever score first, I may have Bruins Perma Wood.
On the lone goal in game 5 and the difficulty in making a save on that type of bounce/shot:
"It's not hard if you're playing in the paint," said Luongo. "It's an easy save for me, but if you're wandering out and aggressive like he does, that's going to happen. He might make some saves that I won't, but in a case like that, we want to take advantage of a bounce like that and make sure we're in a good position to bury those."
F*CK YOU, BRO.
Look, I know the quote his been dissected and over-analyzed by everyone at this point, but on what planet is this a smart thing to say about a goalie who has clearly outplayed you in the Stanley Cup Finals? I mean, I know he probably had one foot out the door on the way to a techno club, but you have got to be kidding me.
Look at that suse's ugly f*cking face. He said waht he did because he is clearly jealous of the press Thomas is getting for his outstanding play. Guess what? Thomas wouldn't be getting praised if he had given up 12 goals in two games.
Then, when asked about his dumb ass comments the next day, he comes up with this gem:
Claude Julien and Tim Thomas have had perfect responses for all of Luongo's insecure whining. At this point of the Stanley Cup Finals, should a Vezina Trophy Finalist really need this type of massaging?
Two things are clear to me:
1. This dude loves to roofie chicks at techno clubs
2. This guy needs a serious confidence boost, maybe a life coach or something. I bet he would love to be part of a flash mob.
In honor of Mike Millbury absolutely CRUSHING the Canucks and specifically the Sedin twins during the broadcast last night, I thought we would us his idea for the "Lunchtime Look-a-Like."
These dudes are straight up creepy. You know they pull the old switcharoo on their hockey bimbos all the time. They probably still dress alike and share underwear, really creepy stuff. Now, while I get the insult, and I have never actually seen the movie "Thelma & Louise," weren't they supposed to be badass? Like, didn't they rob banks and bang young dudes, and drive off a cliff rather than go to jail?
The Sedin twins are the exact opposite of that. They haven't brought anything to the table and hopefully it stays that way, especially with this guy manning the net:
OK, I've broken down all the film, called all my sources in the Bruins organization and I think it all comes down to this...
If the Bruins score more goals than the Habs by the end of the third period OR score first in overtime, they should win the series. People, you normally have to pay for analysis like that. You're welcome.
To all you real hockey fans out there, enjoy the game and stay away from the Tobin Bridge if they lose.
I'm not a hockey guy, but I'll watch playoff hockey and anytime you can make French Canadians go home unhappy, you have to do it. Also, whenever you can flip all those people off after scoring a goal, you have to do that too. I just wish he didn't say his glove got stuck and just said, "Yup, I flipped all those fuckers off."
If you're like me, you're not well versed in matters pertaining to the NHL. However, since Mr. KC Jones enjoys hockey, I have found myself watching it more and more over the past three years. Now that the Bruins are facing the Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs, I've been wondering about why they are sometimes referred to as the "Habs". Seriously, what is the connection and what could that POSSIBLY mean? So, on this dreary Tuesday afternoon, I'd like to drop some knowledge on you. If you are wondering what this means and/or how it came about, click on the following link. I know I'll sleep more soundly tonight.
