So I've got to get back to this blogging thing- apologize for the long layoff.
It's showtime in Vancouver tonight- the Stanley Cup is in the building, and someone is going to walk away with it tonight. This series has been all over the place, with one player making the difference both ways.
Even in defeat, Tim Thomas has been great. It's a good bet he leaves with the Conn-Smythe trophy tonight whether or not the Bruins leave with the cup. The Cannucks have only scored something like 7 goals in the series- pretty tough defense from the Bruins netminder.
The X-factor has been Roberto Luongo. When his head is on straight, he's the best in the game. When its not, watch out- he's a siv and a half. For Luongo, the game isn't about the space between the posts...it's all about the six inches between his ears. If the Bruins get an cheap goal past him early, you may as well put one of the Sedin twins in net, because Luongo will have left the building.
The hoisting of the cup is one of the best moments in sports, and someone is going to do it tonight. My bet? Give me the Cannucks-Luongo won a gold medal last year on his home ice with a great performance. I'll always take the higher ceiling over a safer bet.
