majordowner Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I recently watched it.....and realized the Canucks didn't really play that badly. Tim Thomas stole that game early and once the Bruins scored, they just lost the will to win and got discouraged. One of those early chances go in, it's a different game. I think a lot of people lost sight of that after the riot footage started and iced the loser cake with s#it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taelin Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have never watched it as it is too depressing.To make things worse I live in Saskatoon now and a retard 2 blocks from me Painted his stucco home Bruins colors and air brushed a huge Bruins Stanley cup sign covering his whole garage door.I am reminded every day when I drive by that house. IT ALSO DEVALUES THE NEIGHBOURHOOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedinary Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Can't stand it watch it again! The 1st time around was hard enough to sit through. And I also turned off the tv after 2nd period. NO WAY I can watch Chara lift the cup. I did turn on the tv afterwards and saw the riot and THAT almost made me puke. Can't image how my body would've reacted if I watched Chara lift the cup.

lateralus Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I still believe the Canucks could have scored first if Sedin (not sure which one) had passed to Burrows on that two on one down low. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVT Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 i think the AV need to have a meeting and let the boys watch the full games to remind them before the playoff start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I know many oilers and flames fans bough it and watched it over and over again. My wife bought it and plays it every time when we have a fight to piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2CANSAM Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I was at Game 7 and watched it all. Saw them raise the Cup, Bettman being booed and then gettting text messages from my friends that there was a riot outside. I did not believe any of them, until I got outside. Have never watched Game 7 again and have yet to watch the highlights. Sitting there while the Bruins were parading around the ice was very hard. I knew that we blew just a great opportunity. Some great teams and great players have never made the Cup final or ever won a cup. I knew that we may not get there again and for some (salo), this was the last real kick at the can.

Kevin Bieksauce Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I watched the final game a few weeks ago. Canucks were flying! Though Tim Thomas was outstanding, which turned out to be the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillerOrca Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I dont think I will ever be able to watch it all the way through. Even the highlights are hard to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I could watch it but I haven't had any desire too. Sedins combined for -8 but this is Vancouver so it's all Luongo's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanderbolt Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Don't go that way. Tim Thomas still gives me nightmares. He was fenomenal throughout the series (all 7 games). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linden16kesler17 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I couldn't bare to watch any more after the second period and the thought of the Bruins celebrating on our ice still makes me feel sick. I was living in Calgary at the time and taking a lot of heat for being a Canucks fan. I was always quiet about it but my 300+ students knew I was a canucks fan (from my office to my coffee mug to my sticker on my laptop) and it was bad enough when I knew they were going to lose, let alone when the riot started. When I started getting texts and messages about that, I turned the TV back on, but to the news. I actually never even saw highlights of the third period until just a few weeks ago, didn't know that the last goal was an empty netter. Unfortunately the images of them celebrating at Rogers was so televised that I couldn't NOT see them. The sight of Chara hoisting the cup is forever burned into my mind. I was happy to hear that some fans stayed and cheered on the MVP's and such in a good natured way. That's the stuff that doesn't make the news. I don't think I could have stomached it but good on those that were sportsmanlike enough to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaeneir Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I've kept silent about this for a long damn time, but you people really need to get some perspective. The Canucks in '94 made me fall in love with the team, and I faithfully waited 17 years for their next shot. I wanted them to win the Cup as much as anybody else. During game 7 I laid my grandfather to rest. I was a pallbearer at his funeral. I got home in time to see the third period end and the rioting start. Think about just how bad your life is when the worst thing that happened to you that day was your favorite sports team losing. Talk about first world problems. We all need a little perspective sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsCanuck Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Watched the highlights of game 7 once, not over it. Haven't watched the highlights of any of the other games yet. Still hurts to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
