NEW.ERA Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Well Calgary Puck is a terrible site. As the playoffs have gone along I have grown to accept that the Canucks actually might pull this off. I'll never cheer for them and of course i'm hoping for them to get beat, but if they do win at least the Flames and Nucks have one ring to be happy about.

NEW.ERA Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Cry me a river Vancouver, Colin Campbell won't even preside over this series as his son is involved. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 You know theres always the tin foil hatters that say he will.Let me add to the previous statement: I think Colin Campbell should not have as much power as he does for 2 reasons: he is BAD at his job, plain and simple, and too many times could he run into this "conflict of interest" where he needs to hand over his job duties. Have a committee do it, and lay solid ground rules to it, and be done.

Lights Out Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Go Vancouver. Boston has become unbearable ever since everyone became a bandwagoner because their teams didn't suck anymore.Now yes, the most loyal of the Bruin fans don't really fall into that category (hockey is a different breed of fan) but I'm so fed up with Boston that I have to say screw them.This, this, a million times this. And if the Bruins somehow win the Stanley Cup, we all know that the entire city of Boston will suddenly own Bruins sweaters and championship gear and know all the rules of hockey and pretend to be "a lifelong fan of the Bruins and hockey," when they didn't give a crap about it when the Red Sox, Pats, and Celtics were winning titles.

In the grand and temporal scheme of things, let their fans or "fans" celebrate how they please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yes, Boston has the right to celebrate how they please if the Bruins win the Stanley Cup. However, I have the right to complain when they inevitably do it in the most obnoxious manner possible. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Both teams have gone a combined 77 years without a title and outside of a little blip of success a few Cup appearances here and there. Both don't have that bruting powerhouse talk. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Vancouver doesn't have Boston's front-running reputation.I've never really seen Bruins fans as frontrunners...The general Boston fan. Not necessarily the Bruins. I did say that hockey fans (Bruins) are definitely a different breed and that they're the most die-hard of die-hards.

The_Admiral Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 As I said a few pages back, the Bruins aren't really included in the Dan Shaughnessy/Bill Simmons/other asswipes tradition of making Boston sports a tedious exercise in self-loathing, affection-seeking, and all that crap about "New England's eternal Calvinist suffering" or whatever, so it's not fair to lump them in with what we nationally consider "goddamn annoying Boston sports." I can guarantee you nobody's going to write a column if they lose about how this just shows that God has determined that New England will forever till its rocky soil with no hope. They'll just blame Claude Julien. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleRush Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 ^^^True. Especially the blaming Claude part. Though I've already seen the barrage of Bruins t-shirts being worn about the central MA area. Conversely, does someone actually think the entire populace of Vancouver won't do the same if they win their first Cup ever?Even if it's just pride they won?

Brass Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 So the pizza chain Boston Pizza (because when you think of Boston, the first thing that pops into your head is pizza, of course) is temporarily changing their name to "Vancouver" Pizza for the series.Does this also mean that Tim Horton's is changing their name?
