I love Tony's passion. I am yet to feel that way about Nucks fans. But i have had those same feelings for all Habs fans and most Leaf fans. I am sure the feelings are mutual on all sides of rivalries.

Thomas is unreal.

[shooker]

Thomas is unreal.

agreed. his first 5 mins saved the game for the bruins...well prolonged it

[Shep]

Yeah, he was the only reason it was 4-0.

[shooker]

Game 2 tonight. Fuck the bruins lets go 2-0. Predicting a 5-2 Canuck win!

[Nick]

Assuming way less penalties I'm going with 3-1 in favour of the Bruins. Horton & Kev with a nice little brouhaha.

[Scott]

3-2 B's.. split going to Beantown

The 2011 Stanley Cup Final began with the highest rated opener since FOX held NHL rights in the late 1990s.
NBC earned a 2.7 final rating and 4.562 million viewers for Bruins/Canucks Game 1 Wednesday night, up 17% in ratings and 3% in viewership from last year (PHI/CHI G1: 2.3, 4.428M), and the highest rated Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final since 1999 (BUF/DAL G1: 3.4, FOX).

Keep in mind Game 1 aired on cable (ESPN or VERSUS) from 2000 to 2008. In 2009 and 2010, Game 1 aired on Saturday night.

The last time a Canadian team played in the Stanley Cup Final was 2007, when the Senators lost the Ducks in five games. Game 1 of that series drew a 0.5 U.S. rating and 769,000 viewers on Versus. The first game to air on NBC (Game 3) drew a 1.1 and 1.631 million viewers.

An unsourced quote:

It was more watched in Nashville than NY or Chicago, among other bigger cities.

Well Fuck me. My butt hurts from those last two games. If they lose tonight i may lose faith, but if they win, shes a whole new ball game. I do like the Canucks but I am really starting to hate some of the players. That video Kareem posted by that fan sums it up pretty good.

That's the playoffs for Rome. Dirty hit.
