Certainly, but they both beat iced hockey.

And I agree that the Test will almost surely be a draw.

Can someone explain to me what this "iced" hockey obsession is all about? One of the more peculiar BE-isms to emerge in recent weeks ... Would you say "lawned tennis"?

Also, how is cricket "beautiful"?

Either way, it's all a bag of shite, until someone bleeds :D

Mmmmm.....I'd say 5 Stanley Cup finals in the last 30 years is pretty impressive compared to say..................the leafs!

It is a way we demonstrate our innate superiority by being condescending towards things Canadian.

Pathetic. Also, their uniform's shit and the goalie looks like a total twat, someone who looks like he's eaten the Stanley Cup already. Chara just looks like a freak.

I'm not a Canucks fan at all but between these two teams in the Final I really hope the Nucks stuff 'em. :D

Perhaps others have told you, but you need serious counseling/anger management.

I was looking for a math problem today for something I am doing. I found this and as it mentioned hockey thought it would be culturally relevant. I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't - though it was about hockey :thumbup:

I thought it has been almost 40 years since they last won any silverware?

Whatever.

Nasty hit by Storm there. Play the puck not the man. Even I know that!

Nathan Horton looks worse for wear now.

You've adopted the one 'l' spelling all too easily ... unless ... you're one of THEM?!! :D

I am calm, even though king of the donut mountain kicked aside pretty much everything during the game. Awful hit tonight. I might even reverse my original stance on Boston being very dirty - the Canucks were woeful this evening (not just in their clean play either).
