I won't be around for game comments tonight (5 pm, Versus), but I figured I'd update this old classic to reflect modern-day events. After all, Vancouver's never had much luck in this final round of the playoffs -- may as well poke some fun now.

Go drama.

Gotta respect the classics

I like the shark’s glassy-eyed stare and how his rounded head makes him look like a dolphin. So apropos for the mood of the piece.

though, whether they actually end up winning the cup or not, the last game (it ended like 8-1 or something, right?) has to be one of the most embarrassing sc final games in the recent history…

i believe real winners are smart and start their summer holiday in may, before the temperature hits to 30c… ;)

8-1 indeed. And that was after a scoreless first period.

i’m assuming luongo was kidnapped by bruins fans and replaced with toskala somewhere between the 1st and 2nd period….

problem with him is he’s consistently okay 98% of the time, and then he goes and shits the bed most epically.

I don’t even know what to think. I thought after game 3 Vancouver would come out much stronger, but no. Yeah it wasn’t an 8-1 outcome, but I don’t think you can say 4-0 was much better.

by Angy on Jun 8, 2011 10:39 PM PDT up reply actions

When the score was 3 – 0, I think Eddie Olkyckshs said that the Sedins were -11 in the series. At that point, Boston had only scored 13 goals on Vancouver and I’m pretty sure two of them were on the power play. That would put the Sedin on the ice for every even-strength and short-handed goal of the series.
