And you really don't think the same stuff doesn't happen everywhere, do you? Are you around every single encounter between fans in both cities to know this for sure?

I'm sure it does everywhere,just seems kinda childish in a way.it's only a game and Vancouver wins this year.get used to it biatch.game 7 Vancouver :glugglug

Are you fucking kidding me?
watch this again....

His skates never leave ice before impact. He's playing D, going after his man.. Skating backwards. He’s going for a check.. Half a second late. I agree Late hit, but if Horton had his head up like he was supposed to and had his body ready, this would have been old school “Hello, nice to meet you” bodycheck. 2 minute penalty for interference . What are you people smoking?

Dont argue with him vanillaice. Hes a sexually frustrated candian boy. Hes just another wanna be porn guy who has no way into the biz other than promoting someone elses biz in his sig. Prolly cause no one ever would hire his arrogant ass. Do you think I give a fuck what he says.. nah hes simply the movie of the nights entertainment. He bashes me because im old and fat and no ice hockey skills...
A - Im 49 years old and I play 8 games a week
b- Im 49 years old 6ft1 and 230lbs maybe a bit overweight but at almost 50 im allowed
c- I get more pussy and have gotten it more than any one man deserves. Sure I paid for it but I made money from it in the end. In the end we all pay for pussy anyway.
d- Ive been around the world 3 times,, played tourmaments in 4 countries

My life consists of shooting porn, getting blowjobs, playing hoclkey, reffing hockey and working tons of events at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

THERE IS NOTHING THAT ASSHAT JUST ALEX CAN EVER SAY TO BOTHER ME. Dont let him get to you. Just ignore him

I think Vancouver will win in 7. Boston just cant score up there. Not sure why.

tying too hard to appeal..
Still be a loner and bitter when you die. Give it up. :2 cents:

I thought u knew it all.

This message is hidden because Just Alex is on your ignore list.

I don't know man, I was at a lot of Winnipeg Jets games through the 70's, 80's and into the 90's. Was in the arena when they won the Avco Cup (was the old WHA's equivalent of the Lord Stanley), but I don't recall ever seeing a pack of Winnipeggers surrounding someone wearing an opposing team's jersey and even lightly harrassing them much less making them fear for their life.

Just saying.

Can someone who knows more about hockey than me clear this up.

This is just an example I am using, not saying it is 100% accurate.

Say you are the Brazil National Football team, You play a game against the French National Team in France, if Brazil is the better team it doesn't matter where they are playing, Brazil will beat them. Even if the fans are 90% or more French supporters, they will still win.

There is a home advantage, but Brazil will not care too much about that, if they are the better team and have been the better recently in other matches either against France or any other nation/team they should be expecting to go to France and win.

Now, we have Boston and Vancouver.

Boston starts the series off playing away and they can't score, the second game they get a goal but still win. Then we go to Boston and the Bruins absolutely Slaughter Canucks in the first game and shut them out 4-0 in the 4th game of the series.

Now, what happened to Vancouver? why are they so much different playing at TD Garden than the Roger's Center?

They should have been the better team and they didn't show up, wtf is that about?

Then last night we go back to Vancouver, and a team which killed Vancouver 12-1 over 2 games has now been shut out away (again)

The Boston team showed they can pull Vancouver apart but they go on the road again and may aswell have stayed in Boston for game 6.

Why does this happen? It makes absolutely no sense!

Home advantage / Away disadvantage shouldn't tilt a game that much when we are talking about professionals.

I could understand amateur teams travelling and losing, but not the top stars.

Vancouver should have either gone to Boston and taken atleast 1 game from them, or when Boston went back to Vancouver they should have continued to dominate!

Ugh, this argument again. See after the hit? See how his skates leave the ice? It doesn't take Einstein to tell you his upward motion during this hit aimed at this head results in skates leaving the ice. Why are you arguing physics?

You have a point and I was trying to figure this out last night. I've never seen home ice play this much of a role in a series before. I don't think it's the actual arena, however. I think it's a large part in the travel, time zone changes, jetlag, etc. Why the home team plays better is probably simple comfort during such travel combined with the fans energizing them just enough to have the edge.

Then when you get into specifics, star players shouldn't be impacted as much, but the Sedin sisters have essentially been shutout home and away, and Vancouver has scored roughly the same pace regardless of the building. Both teams have looked sluggish while on the road, like expected, but the biggest x-factor has been the play of Luongo.

The 8 goals was a situational thing. After the first few goals, his team around him essentially just gave up the game and made it much easier to score. As strange as it sounds, that game could have just as easily been a 2-1 or 3-1 game.

Ofcourse they leave the ice AFTER the hit. Have you ever played hockey Einstein? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Upward motion? Its called skating backword, slowing down and bracing for impact.. Dooooh...

Please tell me you actually saw the game. There is no forward motion. Rome is tailing him men iand then delivering hit.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=pUYqTE3cnuQ

shit doesn't fly in vancouver

i'd personally enjoy getting in the face of a vancouverite who was making an ass of our city

first thing my mother said to me when we went on vacation is 'you're representing your entire province'.. it's important here

What you said really makes no sense, I'm sorry. Skating backwards slowing and bracing for impact = upward motion on a check?

And secondly, how many times are you going to ask if I've played hockey? I've already told you yes numerous times. Are you that dumb?

If you actually did play hockey, you must have been on the receiving end of one of those dirty hits one too many times because not only do you keep asking the same questions, you're arguing with physics. Stop being such a fucking fanboy and accept that he did a dirty hit.

You've already admitted it was late, and you admitted Horton wasn't looking, and evidence shows it was to the head. That CLEARLY falls under:

48.1 Illegal Check to the Head ? A lateral or blind side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principal point of contact is not permitted.

I'm sorry if your hero got suspended for playing dirty, but please stop making an asshole out of yourself trying to defend it, it's not working. What's next, are you going to take on the cause of Burrows and act like he doesn't bite, dive or pull hair?

If that's true, it's pretty badass, not being sarcastic. Aside from some whiny fans trying to defend dirty hits, dives and bites, Vancouver does have some quality people. I was shocked during the first game when they not only didn't boo the American anthem like Montreal is known for, but they were very proud of their own by singing it loud. Was very impressive when I'm using to seeing the actions of fans on the opposite side of your country.

Honestly, I'd have no problem with the Canucks winning if Burrows wasn't a complete piece of shit player either. A team that talented doesn't need a guy playing so dirty and bringing it down. Sticking your leg over another players and falling back is an embarrassment to the team and the sport.

Oops, I should have also added Lapierre with Burrows as players who should be playing soccer and winning there, not in the NHL https://youtube.com/watch?v=M9YNTSo9aeE I mean jesus, he gets tapped by the stick and acts like he got shot in the stomach all the way around the rink?

Gotta give him credit though, he definitely stayed in character the whole way through.

They do really have to fix the way they call diving though. In that play, had they called him for embellishment, they would have had to call Chara for spearing. Same reason Lucic went when Burrows dove.

Yeah booing another country's anthem at a sporting event is about as low class as it gets.

This type of hit was par for the course for a top level D-man like Scott Stevens... at most, worth a 2-minute interference penalty. The problem these days is that hockey players are now literally wearing solid armor. NHL needs a "padding, not armor" rule for player equipment.

I will say this about the feet leaving the ice.. his feet were on the ice at the time of impact and its nearly impossible to make an open ice hit without feet leaving the ice, feet leaving the ice by throwing your body at the player befire the hit is the penalty. The main problem with this hit is how late it was. I dont think it was an intention to injure him but I do believe he got what was given to him. He may regret it for the rest of his life by not being on the ice if Caschmucks win the CUP. I have more of a problem with all the rediculous diving and embeleshing this team does. Burrows going down off the faceoff in 1st period was pathetic and he should be suspended for actions detrimental to the NHL.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this! I can't stand it when people boo an anthem. Show some respect!

yeah show some class right?

I'm no Vancouver fan - can never forgive them for 1994 - but Horton was too busy admiring his pretty pass to realize he was going to get completely fucking murdered.

Oh, look! I made such a pretty pass! Maybe we'll score a goal! Go team go! I've got to get into position... SMASH!

In every decade but this one, that was a clean hit.
Rule Number 1: Do not watch the puck.

Yea, definitely Horton's fault lol. That's like blaming a guy for not looking before going through a green light and getting t-boned by some dick running the red light.

Players usually don't expect to get smashed through center ice a solid 10 feet after they've gotten rid of the puck. Should he have looked sooner? Yes. Should he have nearly had his head taken off because he didn't? No fucking way.

You want to enjoy head hunting, pop in a VHS of old school hockey and jerk off all night if you want, but in TODAY'S NHL that was a nasty hit.

I also don't give a fuck if you consider it a clean hit in every other decade. In other decades goalies didn't wear masks, players didn't weak helmets, goal posts were at the end zone, and baseball players didn't use gloves. Most people tend to learn from stupid decisions and correct them. Removing dirty hits like that is progression regardless how "purists" like it.

It's like those morons who try and compare football hits from the 70's to now when players are much bigger and stronger, yet our bodies are still just as fragile. Like in porn, the NHL always needs to adapt or die. If they continue to be dominated by the ulf samuelsson's instead of the Cam Neely's, a 70's VHS tape may be all you'd end up having to remember the NHL by. Only psychopaths go to games to watch dirty players like samuelsson.

I have to admit that I see what you are saying to a certain extent - the camera angles and slo mo of that clip are tough to surmise... but I do think the forward momentum of Horton causes the lift off after the hit, not before, which would be an illegal check in the style that Ovechkin seems to love trying to get away with. The hit was still kind of late, definitely too high, but I do agree that he isn't leaving his feet to hit Horton.

i cant afford a TV to watch ANY sport...

cant wait for game 7! bruins man!(hopefully)

So how do you feel about Mason Raymond being driven in to the boards when he didn't have puck? Similar situation, the guy was finishing his check and wasn't just going to let him go or "change his mind" like that idiot joe was suggesting. Shit like this happens so fast you don't have time to change your mind or let him go by.

I will be there I arrive at 220pm then hopefully customs wont be too long.

Yeah I agree with you, there is factors that could influence the play and the players when at home and away. But I have never seen them play so much of a role like you said.

I was trying not to talk about a specific game/series, but this series really is making me laugh sometimes at how 1 sided it is for the home team having the edge. I know Vancouver hasn't done as good as Boston at home when you look at the goals scored. But they have had an edge at the Roger's center.

Happened again last night though. Back to Boston and Vancouver should have kept the goals against down like they have at home. But instead they go 4-0 down in 5 minutes and can't come back.

So in theory, Wednesday should be Boston winning because they just dominated the Canucks again. They should have the momentum and they should know they can beat them.

They were both tangled up you asshat. You are more and more the complete hockey moron. I guess now youre a producer in LA huh. What happened to your other sig. Being an idiot doesnt pay. Youve probably never played a day in your life

Yeah dude this is the strangest series Ive ever seen.

wait wait, our guy has a fractured vertabre.. does this mean the person who did the hti doesn't play tomorrow?

Definately!

Has anyone else noticed this? Even the puck dumps and clearances off the boards seem to be going in favour to the home team.

When Boston was in Vancouver on friday, they seemed to have trouble clearing the puck out of the Boston end, kept falling to a Vancouver player on the point and kept the pressure going against Boston.

Then at the other end it seemed a lot easier for Vancouver to clear it from their ice into the neutral zone. Boston couldn't keep it in at the line to keep the momentum going.

Then last night, apart from the last 4 minutes of Canucks pressure. Whenever Vancouver was in a similar situation the roles were reversed. Boston could clear easier (noticed it mostly when Vancouver were supposed to be on the powerplay) Vancouver struggled to get the puck out and it kept falling to Boston players more often.

Maybe that is just me, but it seemed that way the last 2 games atleast. Didn't really notice it in the others but was probably happening then aswell.

I didnt see the play to closely Richard as I was shooting at the time and only saw brief highlights. Im sure the league looked at it and thought players were just tangled up.

The Hockey Gods are a strange bunch Si.

Oh, fatass got me off his ignore list. Tangaled up?
