Vancouver fans are known as Canuckleheads.
In 2011 we had a few other names for them . I know for game #3 (2011) the Nuck fans I encountered at the Garden were very sure of themself. I get it as they had won the first two games....but they were annoying.Vancouver fans are known as Canuckleheads.
I'm not the best evaluator of talent, but when I think of last years end of season team they were just a few steps above this team, so not sure how this team can win it if last years team folded so quickly.Yeah, it's amazing that the B's are 24-6-7 (.743 points percentage) with such a horrible player playing on the top pair with Mac, and 8-4-2 (.643 points percentage) when he was out injured.
I can imagine the amount of vitriol Gryz would have gotten if he was the one who gave up that breakaway 17 seconds into the game, and not Parker(who I like), and Forbort.
My 14 year old was asking me about hitchhiking. Doesn’t exist anymore.When I told my 22 year old that you once had to wait for the Sunday paper to see the rest of the teams in the NHL’s stats, she was dumbfounded.
Tuesday’s paper would have the full stats pages. Highlight of the week.It‘s getting to the point where it is utterly impossible for most of those under 25 to understand just how limited access to sports content was prior to the internet.

We typically don't see many Nuck fans at games as their fans don't travel much. So, in 2011 we got to see why most all NHL teams and fans wanted Boston to win.
The next season I went to Calif with my daughter and attend games in LA, Anaheim and San Jose. I had Bs colors on. At all 3 arenas, fans came up and said they were so happy that the Bruins had won the cup as they hated the Nucks. They said THANK YOU. I let them know that I did not play in any of the games but thanks!
I am not sure why all of the hatred but do remember that most NHL fans were cheering on our Bs.
It was 100% good vs. evil. Possibly the most least likeable rosters, management groups and fan bases I’ve experienced.In 2011 we had a few other names for them .

Does anyone remember back in 2013-14 when Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin were ranting about the Sedins? lol something like “what is up with those goatees, man? They look like creeps”Every NHL fanbase except Canucks and Habs fans, and even some Habs fans turned on them. They were that hateable. That series made me hate the Sedins, two of the most milquetoast, mild mannered players in NHL history. By game 2 I couldn't stand their weirdo, skinny legged, flop at the drop of a hat asses.
We used to sit and add up our hockey pools points from those stats. We had like 20 teams. Fun!!!My 14 year old was asking me about hitchhiking. Doesn’t exist anymore.

The only player left from 2011 is Brad.It was 100% good vs. evil. Possibly the most least likeable rosters, management groups and fan bases I’ve experienced.
I had Hab and Leaf and Flyers fans I know hoping Boston would win. That Canucks team was anathema to what hockey fans respect.
But they are likeable again.

Definitely a typo. My photo autocorrects the dumbest things.Sway should have motioned to Demko for a hug at the end, he probably could have used one.
Hoping it was a typo and you meant "beat those" rather than be those
And now Girlschool's Foxes on the Run....WOW!!!Watching the replay on NHL Network....
Motorhead 'Ace of Spades'!!!!
Last year's team was definitely better, even before the TDL, but they were banged up entering the playoffs, and the team, and coach kinda cracked under the pressure of being the team with the best regular season record of all time.I'm not the best evaluator of talent, but when I think of last years end of season team they were just a few steps above this team, so not sure how this team can win it if last years team folded so quickly.
Every year is different, so hopefully this is their year.
And now Girlschool's Foxes on the Run....WOW!!!
I'm pretty sure that song is banned in Florida.The person who does the sound for the Bruins has really good taste. Though even I question if The Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is appropriate for a family audience.
Still crazy that Heinen is making minimum wage. Great bargain there.
He's actually not a kid; he's 27. He falls into the catagory of 'have skates, will travel.' In his 15 NHL games he has a total of 5 points; 3 goals and 2 assists.Looking forward to watching this kid Richard .I commented way back when they acquired him that he is sneaky good on offense.If Bruins helped him iron out play without puck just maybe he could help.He is quick to.

That’s a lot of goals at this stage of the season.He's actually not a kid; he's 27. He falls into the catagory of 'have skates, will travel.' In his 15 NHL games he has a total of 5 points; 3 goals and 2 assists.
For Providence this season he has 37 points(18 goals and 19 assists) in 41 games. Not bad.
I like to refer to them as rioters.Vancouver fans are known as Canuckleheads.
Many moons ago I taught a big lecture hall class (over 100 students) at the University of Miami. It was humbling to see some "students" reading the paper, talking away and wandering in and out regularly.Freshman year at Northeastern we had a couple mandatory "English for Engineers" courses that everybody took pass/fail. I had a friend who sat there and read the paper in the class every day. You could tell the Prof was not happy about it, and she finally spoke up. "Mr. Smith, I see you reading the Herald every day in my class. Is there a reason you find a need to ignore my lecture and read the Herald instead?"
My buddy, without missing a beat, replied, "Yeah, because the Globe's too hard to fold."
