Rilla, what are your thoughts? I laughed when ctb said "I think" Vancouver dominated at home but "obv" Boston dominated at home.

Why do you talk about me as if I'm not here

I have to say those things because of the scores, lol

@ctb, can you really attribute the goal diff entirely to Thomas > Luongo. I know Canucks fans love to hate on him, but srsly?

I think it's pretty clear that Tim Thomas was the reason the Bruins were still in the game for at least a couple of the home games the Canucks won (especially the first two).

I have no idea if the Canucks would have played differently if Luongo had been able to make some saves while in Boston. I think they would have, but obviously there's no way for me to prove this.

So if you're asking why the Canucks couldn't get more goals en route to their 3 wins, the answer is Thomas is a stud. If you're asking why the Bruins got so many goals en route to their 3 wins, the answer is Luongo couldn't save anything. So yes, I can entirely attribute the goal differences to goaltending :P

It was the Canucks massive defensive mistakes that lead to each Luongo collapse in Boston, not the other way around imo.

Also, I know a trainer isn't a medic or anything, but how is it a good idea to carry Mason Raymond off the ice with a broken back?

When the Bruins have defensive breakdowns, Thomas saves their asses. Almost every time. Can't say that about Luongo at all in Boston. Obviously the Nucks defense was terrible those games. I'm not denying that. But Luongo needs to make those saves. Each of the 3 goals that he let in yesterday should have been saved. There's no way Thomas lets those in...

Poor Raymond
