EastCoastNiner Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I didn't want to make a new thread, and I wasn't sure where to put it, but Tony Gallagher and Jason Botchford are the two most annoying, pompous, arrogant, and stupid people I have ever heard speak. http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=978439 SOOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING! Also, I know Tony Gallagher was the moron that wrote an article saying the only way the Canucks would lose is if the NHL was on the Bruins side because of Campbell, and bitched and moaned about it. That guy is so damn annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy is so damn annoying. Did you seriously listen to all of those? lol Also, Botchford's fairly knowledgeable but he doesn't have great sources within the organization. Gallagher's just a moron.

EastCoastNiner Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I still maintain we would've won if we didn't lose Hamhuis. It's basically taking 2 d-men out of the equation because Bieksa is awful when he's not with Hamme. I'll start off by saying I've barely even talked about this series on otr and wasn't bragging or anything when the Bruins won, so I'm not trying to troll or stir up anything. I'm not saying you think that, but I'm getting that point out of the way. Now, I disagree with you. If there's a top team in the Western Conference that the Bruins matched up well against, it was the Canucks. The Sedins have never been able to do anything about Chara. Also, the games the Cancuks won, they won low scoring games, so the addition of Hamhuis didn't matter too much in those games because the Canucks won. I just don't see any way that Hamhuis is going to single handily change Vancouver's defense (I understand certain players pair better with others), and change the following scores in Vancouver's favor. Game 3: 8-1Game 4: 4-0Game 6: 5-2Game 7: 4-0 Those are all four of the losses that the Canucks had in that series, and none of those games were close. The problem was Luongo sucking big time in those games, and Tim Thomas playing like an animal. The Canucks, on paper, have a very nice top six, but the Bruins really smoke them with the bottom six. Even though on paper Boston doesn't have as much firepower in their top six, they are very good defensively, which negates what Vancouver can do with their top six. However, Boston's bottom six is excellent, and quite possibly the best in the NHL, and that plays a major roll. It also didn't hurt that Krejci decided he was going to be a goal scoring machine, Marchand decided to be a playoff beast, and Tim Thomas was flat out amazing. I would not be surprised if there was a re-match in this year's Stanley Cup Finals. I know physicality isn't everything, but this past Stanley Cup Finals really showed me how much playing a physical game can really hurt the opposing team. The Canucks should have another very good regular season, but we'll see how they do in the playoffs. It's going to be a very competitive Western Conference. There's the Kings, Sharks, Blackhawks, Red Wings, ect. That conference is going to be an absolute dog fight, but I think Vancouver can pull through.
