FIST !

Roberto got FISTed FTW

I might get lambasted for thie - but even Flames fans had to grin at that goal. Eberle's a keeper.

YAH.... DAMN NICE BEARD ON YAH HISS!

AND EQUALLY AS NICE IS THE FIST YOU JUST LAYED

Suck it, Canucks.

How did you not include a video or picture of Tim Thomas laying the best hit of the series? Watching that will never get old.

Wanye,

your dedication to this level of spite and hatred is commendable.

i agree whole heartedly....suck it whineouver cheanucks!

Didn't the Canucks get pumped in G4 against the Hawks? Didn't that subsequently lead to them losing their identity and entire ethos of how to play system hockey for an entire week?

Big difference is that the Hawks had a goalie named Crawford, and not a man who stands 8'6" with arms like tree trunks and a beard red as the fire of hell like Tim Thomas.

Prediction - Corey Schneider starts game 5 back in Van.

When I met my wife the first thing I did was educate her in hockey. I taught her to love the game. Took her to See Mark Messier in his last season. Bought Cool Hockey baby clothes for the first born. Now whenever she can she watches with me. I see it was a good decision.

I really expected that from Vancouver about 10 games ago but I was surprised last night as I was beginning to wonder if my picking them to loose every series was ignoring the facts. Its good to know that my scientific mind is still operational.

Nathan Horton love soup! Nathan Horton love colouring book! Nathan Horton love bubble wrap!

Luongo got FISTED worse than Kermit the Frog. It was great, go Bruins, stick it to those Left Coast Losers!!

Not the best goal I've ever seen but doesn't get much prettier for a first goal...

You are so right That would of been the biggest news of the game and still should be. I have never seen a tender do that. He deserves his name on the cup for that move. (Hockey gods smile take notice and put suck dust in Vancouver water bottles.)

Watched the Horton video several times, and made a not so funny observation....Watch the referee in the background, arm never goes up to call a penalty. He's got a birds eye view of the entire sequence. What the?

First FIST! Damm I hope I did that right.

@ Wanye : Really like that Nation Radio; especially that sexy music coming back from commercial. Oh, and its gotta be the Nuge!

Hay you can now see your team live a few times a year. It is indeed important for Winnipeg to have a hockey team. Don't you dare miss the Fist Oiler game we will be expecting you to post pics of Oiler fans.

Vancouver is the absolute best team in the league.....at losing!!! They just make it so damn entertaining. They dont just lose games, THEY GET PUMPED!

Ive done some very serious statistical analysis of the canucks in the past few games. By looking at the GHOP (goalie hits on pansies) and GLIBGBC (goals let in by greasy barely canadians), the bruins are completely dominating this series!!!......statistically speaking of course

I was watching that game with a friend of mine who is a canucks fan and I just kept laughing. The thing is EVERY time something happens canucks fans think there should be a penalty. It's absurd. But according to my buddy the hit on Horton "wasn't that late, it was a pretty clean hit"... It's quite something to be friends with someone who likes a team like the canucks ... I wouldn't recomend it.

Re: the Thomas Hit. That was probably one of the BEST moments in hockey I have ever seen. Simply outstanding.

Here's the Thomas check...

BOOM! POW! You lose comrade.

THE NHL HAS FLYING REFEREES??????!!!????

That really has to be in the top 5 plays of the year. For me that is nearly as good as Eberle's goal.

Friend or not if he's a Canuck fan I recommend a right hand to the Jaw. It feels really good to do that, just sayin. Went to an Oilers n Nucks game wearing Oil colors(Oilers actually won!) got some classless tasteless heckling from those a$$holes after the game. Knocked this drunk punk out! It was a Beauty

It was so awesome.

Luckily you wrote nearly as good as Eberle's goal. If you wrote as good as or better Wanye would promptly have you banned.*

*Without bingofuel I am pretty sure Wanye has no idea how to ban someone. Hard to believe he can even post the articles between trips to the bottle depot. :)

Iceberg, meet the HMS Canuck, HMS Canuck, meet Iceberg.

Is it wrong to take joy on this fine overcast/rainy day?

I'll say it. Thomas crushing the twinkie was the BEST play of the year to date.

I'm all Oilers all the time. Only been in the Peg for 4 years, raised in Sherwood Park. Although, I would pay good money to get a ticket to the home opener at MTS Center this fall. Go Oilers!! FIST!

At this point, the Canucks losing in game 7 would feel better than watching the Oilers win the cup.

Until the Oilers actually do win the cup, then that will feel better than anything, ever.

Until I get within a close enough distance to drug Kate Upton and gently place her in the back of my panel van....

I was a little surprised to hear that Rome got a 4 game suspension for the hit to be honest. It was a late hit for sure but I don't think there was a deliberate attempt to injure with it like when Torres left his feet and threw an elbow at Johnny Boychuk with less than 5 minutes to go in the game.

mega props, i support everything you are saying.

Every now and then you say something that I can finally get behind.

I'll get the van.

I'm not in favor of drugging anyone except getting rid of those kind of misogynistic comments banned. The Horton hit may just prove to be all the motivation the Bruins need to win the cup. Frankly I haven't even watched more than 5 minutes of these finals. I'm watching the NBA finals instead.

I'll be honest I'm not a Canuck fan but when I watch that hit. I don't think it was a suspension. I honestly don't think it was that late. It was less than a second from the time the puck left Horton's stick to the time he got hit. Tell me, if you have already started to go for a hit, can you stop in a fraction of a second? Not likely. I didn't see any other evidence to suggest it was dirty in any way. I think the reason this has been blown up so big was due to the fact that Horton was injured. The injury is likely due to the fact that he was admiring his pass while heading into an opponents zone rather than looking at where he was going. We was injuried because his head smacked the ice after the hit. I think that had he been paying attention he wouldn't have been injured. I can't blame Rome for following through with the hit because it takes an individual a fraction of a second to press their brakes in a emergency. Now you have two guys heading towards each other with speed and you expect one to stop in a fraction of a second. Physics won't allow it.

Misogynistic? Seems to me he said he would be gentle. That's not misogynist that's courteous.

It's not technically rape if she doesn't remember.

*It still is*

Gimme a break Willis...and that's a reference from the old Different Strokes show for all you young punks.

surprise sex, not rape

*i am joking btw*

What'choo talkin' 'bout, Common Sense?

I think you are misremembering the actual sitcom Gimme a Break!

It's ok; that's what happens when you get old. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

Paging Buzz Killington, line 4. Buzz Killington, line 4.

Jeanshorts and Baggedmilk: "hey, you wanna play the rape game?"

Girl: "no."

Jeanshorts and Baggedmilk: "That's the spirit!"

The hit was extremely late. I don't know if you've played hockey before, but one full second after making a pass like that is an eternity. Horton made his pass and then made two full strides before Rome stepped into him.

He wasn't expecting the hit because the play had moved so far up ice and he was trying to get back in the play. Every player on the ice was watching the puck and the play (except Jim Rome).

When you make a pass at the red line, there is no way you should be expecting to get hit at the blue line.

The ref and the NHL made the right call for once.

Your explanation of the hit is flawed. Check out Rome when Horton passes it. He is moving backwards, not charging at Horton with no time to veer or stop. Also, it was nearly a full second between the pass and the cheap shot hit.

And your explanation that it was the ice that injured him is great. By that logic, Claude Lemieux shouldn't have been suspended in 1996 or Dale Hunter in 93 since it was the boards that mangled Draper's face and separated Turgeon's shoulder.

I watched the replay again after reading this and you're right. Rome doesn't even begin to make his move to hit Horton until AFTER Horton passes the puck. That just makes it worse. I hope Horton is ok. Could be a long recovery.

That's a fair comment. Is it also fair to say that if you make a pass at the red line, you might be expected to take your eyes off your pass for a second somewhere between there and the offensive zone?
