2nd period now underway, and apparently Bertuzzi may not return to the game....

Niemi with a big save on Kronwall to keep the score 2-0 Sharks.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

The Red Wings start to pour on pressure, but Datsyuk is called for interference ending the threat. 2-0 Sharks, under 10 left in the second.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

GOAL!!!! Redemption for Zetterberg after the turnover. Beautiful backhander from the slot makes it 2-1 Sharks!

2nd period is done. Sharks holding 2-1 lead with 20minutes to go

Well Canucks are into the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, who they play is yet to be decided on Friday as the Lightning and Bruins have gone to a game 7

 

[Mr Angry]

Yep.

The Canucks have been good all year, knocked out last years champs, knocked out last years goalie. All lines still looking bloody strong.

Boston are good at losing 7 game series after being 3 up.

But regardless I can't see the East teams overcoming Vancouver, they are strong and rested.

Bruins v Canucks Stanley Cup Final 2011

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Its not the final I was looking forward to watching. LOL. But here's hoping the West Conf comes out on top again, we are the strongest of the two! ;-)

Hey Mr A.Hope the Canucks don't match the pattern of the Cronulla Sharks!
My son is living in Vancouver at the moment and is well and truly on the bandwagon! So I am hoping for a Canucks win...but their history is sounding very Sharks like wouldn't you say?

Btw do you know of any live coverage of the final here in Sydney?

 

[Mr Angry]

Yes Vancouver have not got the best record.

That said, Cronulla have rarely had a team as talented as the current Canucks.

It will be on foxtel and hopefully they will have the whole series on

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

To be fair to Fox Sports they did an excellent job of covering the 2007-2008 final (Red Wings), the 2008-2009 final (Penguins) and the 2009-2010 final (Blackhawks) so I'd expect more of the same this year. Not that I'll be watching. LOL

[Jono078]

If there is a 7th game does anyone know when it'll be played?

I'll actually be in Vancouver on the 14th of June, hoping to get soaked up in the atmosphere of it all

 

[Jono Russell]

Game 7 if needed will be June 15th.

Go Nucks.

 

[Mr Angry]

Torres scored the lone goal of the night with 18.5 seconds left in regulation and Luongo made 36 saves for his third Game 1 shutout of the playoffs as the Canucks beat the Bruins 1-0 to take a 1-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final.


It was the sixth Game 1 shutout in the last 60 years. The last five teams to win the first game of the Final via shutout -- Detroit in 2008, New Jersey in '03, Colorado in '01, Edmonton in 1984 and the New York Islanders a year earlier -- all won the Stanley Cup.

Carn, nucks!!

 

[Gas Panic!]

Seriously good game today .. I'm not heavily into the NHL but the relos in Vancouver have seen to it that I'm a Canucks fan. First started keeping an eye on them in 2008.

1-0 up is very handy.
