On Wednesday night at the Rogers Center in Vancouver, Game 7 will be contested after Boston picked up a 5-2 victory over the Canucks in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals to tie the best-of-seven series at 3.
Both teams have won every home game, but the guys from the Great White North will be mighty nervous heading into the final game, as will their fans. A Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley Cup since Montreal hoisted the chalice in 1993.
The Bruins dominated the game from the start, taking a 4-0 lead within the first 10 minutes of the first period. Roberto Luongo was pulled and the Canucks had no answer for Boston's emotion.
I was mighty surprised that the Bruins were able to come out strong again in their own building.
Boston has been the better team in this series, and I really didn't think Vancouver would have won the 1-0 games. I thought the Bruins were more suited to win the close ones, while the Canucks had the edge in high-scoring affairs.
Tim Thomas is starting to look like Patrick Roy. Even if Vancouver wins, I would say Thomas deserves some votes for MVP.
It should be an exciting game Wednesday. If you're a Canucks fan, drink a few Molsons tonight, and get ready for the big one. You're team will need you.
If Vancouver can keep it scoreless in the first 30 minutes, or take an early lead, it will be fine, but if Boston takes an early lead, the Canucks could be in trouble.
I may have a few beers myself.
