Stanley Cup Finals: Boston Bruins vs Vancouver Canucks

[Darth_Calo]

I think the Bruins will win in 7. It will be a great series, and Vancouver is a great team, but I think this is Boston's year. Their power play is awful (5-56 this postseason) but they have proved they can win without it, and occasionally it breaks through. Tim Thomas is still a great goalie. maybe it's hopeless optimism from a Bruins fan but my pick remains Bruins in 7.

 

LOL @ the knucklehead that voted "Yoda on ice"

 

BTW, a Bruin is a Bear people.

What is this horses or something? Eh, Yoda.

I'm having trouble deciphering what exactly a "Bruin" and a "Canuck" are.

Well I know I've been referred to as a "Canuck". I dunno how that pertains to this supposed sport, though.

[Darth Avlectus]

Bruins, you mean like what Adam Sandler sang about on DWI, Stan and Judy's kid?

 

Cannocks?

Further research has confirmed that "Canuck" is indeed a slang term for Canadians. However, there seems to be another hockey team, the Montreal Canadiens, who would appear to also be named after people from Canada. Seems a bit repetitive, no?

I tend to agree. Even being Canadian myself, I've always failed to grasp the fascination with this... hawk-key thing.

The same knucklehead that added "Yoda on Ice"?

 

What can I say, I'm from Texas where we use ice the way God intended it to be used. To keep beer cold and to make margaritas. You know the important stuff.

I'm with the Kandahar Slaughterers myself, but then the Bagram Jehadis are a strong pack too, with the addition of Ahmed Shah Razakhzaada.

They play the true sport. Hurrah to them!

I like hockey, except that pro hockey doesn't really interest me much.

[Pho3nix]

I'm rooting for the Canucks...

You crack me up

[Darth_Calo]

Wow, thanks people. whoever added the Yoda on ice option (that wasn't me!) is funny but should step forward to take credit. (again, wasn't me...) I sometimes wonder why I bother trying to talk about s*** OTHER than Star Wars here...some of you people have got to have some interest. right? xD guess not.

[The Doctor]

Actually, I think mim did take credit for it.

Maybe I'm on his ignore list.

We regular members can't add moderators to our block lists. I tried once, a long time ago.

[Darth_Calo]

no I just didn't see his post. I have a tendency to skim forum threads, and i missed his. Kudos dude that was funny, kinda sabotaged my thread though...

 

but I'll grant you that it was funny.

[The Doctor]

Don't take it too personally, mate. Pretty much every poll that's posted around here has a 'Yoda' option added to it.

[Darth_Calo]

I'm not taking it personally--like I said I thought it was funny

 

although in fairness it did sabotage my poll haha but it was funny so it's worth it.

So, we've found out what a Canuck is....but what the hell is a Bruin supposed to be?

read my first post...

[The Doctor]

So you're pitting us Canadians against BEARS? What've you got against us, exactly? O_O

[Darth Avlectus]

<snip>what the hell is a Bruin supposed to be?

I believe it's a synonym for a bear originally; as in reynard circle fables, or a eurasian brown bear.

Didn't notice the edit.

[Darth_Calo]

you guys are funny. Yes it's the Boston Bears vs the Vancouver Canadians. ha. the "Yoda on Ice" option would be my pick for "Who will win the NBA Finals" although I guess that'd be more of "Yoda on parquet" (the material basketball courts are made of) but that doesn't have the same ring to it as "Yoda on Ice."
