34 - NHL Stanley Cup Finals

Post no. 34 here:
My 1st ice-hockey post and it's a big one.

The series is between the Boston Bruins (3) and the Vancouver Canucks (1), the Canucks finished 1st and had home court advantage of the best of 7 series.

Game 1:
Canucks at home were looking to start the series off well, and it was an evenly fought contest with their only being 1 score the whole game. Raffi Torres scored with only 18.5 seconds left to give the win to the Canucks series 1-0.

Game 2:
Canucks' 2nd home game and were looking to build on their win, there were more scores this game and nothing could separate the teams at the end of regulation with the score tied at 2-2. The Canucks only needed 11 seconds of overtime to score and that would be the decider. Series 2-0

Boston's goalie Tim Thomas, playing a huge role in leveling the series

Game 3:
Boston had waited 21 years to make the finals again, and did they deliver in their 1st home game. The final score 8-1 to Boston with their goalie saving 40 out of 41 shots. Series 2-1

Game 4:
Crucial game for the series and Boston's 2nd home game, and they carried their form over from last game with another big win. Final score 4-0 with their goalie Tim Thomas having another field day with a 100% saving rate. Series tied 2-2

Game 5:
The momentum was with Boston and they were looking to steal an away win, this was the most important game of the series and the Canucks came through. The final scoreline 1-0 showed how close it was with both goalies performing well but the Canucks had more opportunities. Series lead 3-2, last home game for Boston coming up followed by one more at Vancouver.
