I'm conflicted. I've never been a Canucks fan. If I can be classified, i would say I'm a Leafs fan first, but perhaps Original 6 support second. So I should be happy for Boston to win. But the swirl around me is that I should be patriotic and support Vancouver. Still the team doesn't strike me as having any personality - more of a collection of elite-ish players. And being a Toronto supporter, I have always appreciated the blue-collar effort that teams like Boston & Toronto put forward. A never say die attitude.

As for patriotism, I think that last time I counted, both teams had 17 Canadians on their rosters. So other than venue, it's a dead heat.

As far as the players are concerned, I think Boston is more Canadian than Vancouver.

But it all comes down to the names, logos, colours, and locales.

Boston is Boston.

I suppose it would be nice to see the Canucks win their first Stanley Cup and to bring it back to Canada. However, I was just at the Hockey Hall of Fame on Sunday, gazing at the old Stanley strips.

The Vancouver Millionaires are on there for 1915, in their pre-NHL glory.

i think all sports teams should be forced to rename themselves the millionaires.


the philadelphia millioinaires are taken to extra innings by the cincinnati millioinaires.
the dallas millionaires defeat the miami millionaires in the nba finals.
the boston millionaires take on the vancouver millionaires in a dramatic game 7.

It looks like the Millionaires will take it.

Well that just about wraps it up for another amazing NHL season - Congrats to the Bruins and their "throwback hockey"

I'm thinking that they will be enemies of the Leafs next season, especially in the playoffs.

I'm glad it was a return to old time hockey, and I think if Vancouver didn't dive so much, many, many more calls would've been called their way...
