Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x Ok, scratch that... he was traded. Hmm...guess I'll root for Canada, then. Go Canucks. Win the cup so the Sharks can say they were eliminated by the best...
Originally Posted By mele I'm still rooting for the Bruins. Frankly, I don't really enjoy the playoffs at this stage. I prefer the regular season...way more fun; I like it when the games aren't so important. (I'm already stressed out enough!) We have a lot of inside jokes about quite a few players; I miss laughing about them. I miss the fighting, too. LOL
Originally Posted By vbdad55 As a Hawks fan, who are you cheering for? -=- honestly no one. Watching because I love hockey but can't root for either team. My secondary choices are also gone already..so it is what it is..
Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, I'm with you, vbdad. Who I root for is likely to change from game to game or period to period, or even play to play. All I know for sure is, I'm glad that both teams are from places where cold weather is common.
Originally Posted By mele Joked with my husband about driving up to Vancouver to greet the Bruins. He likes the Bruins but Vancouver is his favorite team. Boston is my second favorite team, after the Pens. (Tim Thomas is the man. What an awesome smile.) We're gearing up for war in our house. ;-)

Originally Posted By mele Burrows is a diving, hair-pulling, finger-biting little um, witch. Fact. Pathetic. So disgusted that he wasn't suspended for at least one game. Lapierre taunting Bergeron about that bite shows how little class that team has.
Originally Posted By mickeymeg I would bite someone if they stuck their finger in my mouth too. They were both fighting like little girls, but I don't think a suspension was necessary. It was a fair bite (yes I know how that sounds =) He dove at the puck and put it right in the net last night =) It was a beautiful move. sorry to stir the pot, but I am really loving the outcomes of these games so far. It is so awesome that a team I have always cheered for has a chance finally =)

Originally Posted By mele It was a face wash and Burrows shoved the finger into his own mouth. I live with a rabid Canuck's fan and he has no problem admitting as much. He was embarrassed by it and even more embarrassed by the taunting last night. Biting is against the rules whether you'd do it or not, meg. I would hope that in an official capacity, you'd remember some forms of sportsmanship and professionalism. <<I would bite someone if they stuck their finger in my mouth too.>> I guess you could cause a lot of physical damage if you used the same excuse in a contact sport... Things happen in the heat of the moment; I'd respect Vancouver's team(and fans) if they at least admitted what happened instead of lying about it. Why pretend a douche/dirty move isn't? Taunting the team with it the next night tells me more about the team's attitude than the actual action.(Not that they're doing anything other than living up to their reputation.) Why does the supposed best team need to resort to that kind of behavior (and, even worse, be proud of it)?
Originally Posted By mele I'm not saying that the Bruins aren't responsible for losing the game...I just think Burrows should be fined for what he clearly did and it shouldn't be celebrated. It's embarrassing and really takes away my interest from watching the game(s). And fighting is one of my favorite things about the game. I don't even mind somewhat dirty hits in the spirit of the game. This definitely doesn't fall under that category.
