The Stanley Cup Finals have been exciting this year with biting, big hits, and two goalies that seemed to be hogging the spotlight. There has also been another pattern that can't be ignored and that was the home team has won every game... so far. The Canucks won 3 in Vancouver and the Bruins won 3 in Boston. Now it was game 7 in Vancouver for Lord Stanley's Cup.
Over 18,000 Canucks' fans gathered to cheer on their team with another 100,000 cheering outside. The Bruins, however, came in with a little piece of home and did their best and man it was their best. Tim Thomas, the Bruins' Goalie, stopped all 37 shots from the Canucks. He was superb. The Bruins would also provide goal support for their hero. First a Goal from Patrice Bergeron in the first period. Then in the 2nd, Brad Marchand scored followed by another Bergeron Goal which was scored shorthanded. Finally, Brad Marchand scored again on an empty net in the final minutes. The fans cheered for their Canucks one last time for appreciation knowing it was over. The Bruins win game 7 in Vancouver, 4-0, and win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1972.
A bit of a blowout by the end but still a good one to watch. The Canucks had a great regular season and even postseason until now. But they could not get their first Stanley Cup. As for the Bruins, their proud franchise reclaims the cup for the first time since the days of Bobby Orr. A great moment for them and the city of Boston in more than one way. Teams of the Boston area have completed the championship cycle. Their teams have won 3 Super bowls, 2 World Series, 1 NBA Championship, and a Stanley Cup Title in a 10 year span. If you're a fan of Boston sports teams, you've had a pretty good decade. But right now, Congratulations to the Boston Bruins for winning Lord Stanley's Cup.
