Stanley Cup Final Game 1 Analysis And Other News

Well folks we had a great game today. Game 1 in Vancouver was a great contest, a real old time duel between netminders. Time Thomas and Roberto Luongo battled all game, not allowing any goals until 18.5 seconds left in the 3rd period. Thomas came out slightly too far and the 'Nucks were able to slip one by to get the 1-0 winner to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

The Bruins looked very slow in the 3rd period. While both teams were gased watching the game it really seamed like the B's were exhausted, maybe a sign of the long ECF battle against the Bolts, either way they still were near perfect. The series started very physical like most Cup Finals, which helped the B's slightly. The series should shape up to be a good one in the B's can steal a game in Vancouver.

Day in sports.

With the conclusion of the exciting Game 6 just a few seconds ago, the Bolts tied the series with the Bruins to push it to a game 7. As usual Game 7 is up in the air with all Game 7's.

I still think the B's will pull it off, and then beat the Canucks for the cup.

Other stuff:

• Mariano pitched in his 1000th game as a Yankee, quite a feat. 
• My White Sox lost 
• OKC and Dallas are battling hard in the WCF

EDIT: Well looks like the Mavs are a pretty dominate team, having come back to beat the Thunder once again. The Thunder are a good team, just way too inexperienced to pull off this series, they will be very good in the near future, if they can keep their pieces in place.
