Well there you have it. 5-2 and the Bruins bring it back to Vancouver for game 7.
I'm so happy game 7 is at home, I can tell you that much.
There is no excuse for Roberto Luongo's actions - or lack there of I should say - however, I can tell you right now that the TD Garden Arena in Boston is cursed. They have soft ice and ghosts, you heard it here first! After letting in 3 goals in the first period poor Luongo got replaced with our second goaltender Schneider. Most of you may have noticed that there was a lack of defence while Luongo was in net yet that same defence was present when Schneider came into net. The answer as to why this happened is quite simple. The Canucks have a lot of faith in Roberto Luongo; he's their wonder wall. Sometimes(like in game 6) the Canucks become overly confident in Luongo and they leave him with all the dirty work as they play more offensively. Schneider comes in net and that sense of comfort soon disappears as our defenders linger around the net more to help the Goalie out. Tim Thomas is not only fast but he's good, in fact he's great; he also has an amazing back line in front of him to deflect the puck.
Marchand shot one over Luongo's shoulder scoring the first goal of the night for Boston and 35 seconds later Lucic's stick and the puck became well acquainted as he shot one through Lu's legs; after these two goals the Bruins knew they'd meet us in Vancouver for game 7. Before any of us could take a breath and start swearing our heads off, Ference defeated Luongo and a little over 10 minutes later Ryder got one in past Schneider. Before Krejci scored the 5th goal for Boston(against Schneider), Henrik Sedin scored his first point of the finals in the first power play of the 3rd period. Lapierre made the end score 5-2 as he shot one in past Thomas at the end of 3rd. Hey, atleast it wasn't a shutout.
What does Luongo have to say about all of this? "You can't hang your head and feel sorry for yourself," Luongo said. "That's the worst thing I could do. ... I had a good feeling all day. Before the series started, I said I enjoyed playing in this building. Just got to move on right now. Got to believe in myself, right?" (NHL.com)
Thats right Luongo, you go on and keep believing! As for the rest of us, we'll just get on our knees, look up to the sky and pray. Although we don't need that many prayers, we do pretty well at home against Boston. Its just a matter of how much confidence the Bruins bring to the ice(hard ice, if I do say so myself).
Ladies and Gentleman I got the inside scoop for you. Here are some photos from last nights games in Boston! I can tell you this much, our fans are a lot friendlier than their fans - mostly because we're Canadians. Boston who are you?

| Oh hello Canucks fans in BOSTON! |
