Eh the four game suspension was 100% warranted, that hit pretty much ended nathan horton's career

McQuaid was a defenseman, not a 4th liner.

That final was probably two of the most hateable teams of all time minus Bergeron and the Sedins and because of that it was great.

I’m a Bruins fan living in Vancouver. I was even on Global News going into the finals. I asked Global if they wanted me back after game 7. They said No.

The timing for all of this is may seem too perfect & it’s going to be frustrating ,but you are right about having to move forward. There are points where your own team and the opponents teams are at fault & people find excuses to justify wins and losses, just part of what makes sports entertaining to talk about even after so many years.

I’m a Canucks fan, and I honestly just didn’t fully care about 2011. It mostly just tells me to not be in my hometown when they make it there again. I used to be aggressively mad when the Canucks would lose, but now honestly I am no longer like that anymore, and I think it is because in 2015, I started watching more than just Vancouver more consistently

No actual way. He’s back

The Raymond hit was nasty, not gonna lie.

Most Canucks fans are actually. Well, the smart ones anyway.

Your back omg

Time for you guys to play the canuck theme song: burn baby burn!!

Between Alex Burrows biting Bergeron's finger who was the most respected and honest player in the league, then Maxim Lapierre taunting Bergeron the very next game by sticking his fingers in his mouth, then the next game knocking out Horton for the rest of the playoffs with an absolute late brutal hit, and Luongo talking shit between games about no one pumping his tires...I'd have to say the Canucks poked the bear and it became all Big Bad Bruins hockey from that point on. There was a lot of shenanigans from Marchand, but you have to remember, he was still fairly unknown at that point...he wasn't constantly on the ref's radar. The season before he was just a 4th liner clawing his way just to stay in the league. 2011 was his "breakout" season even though he only scored maybe 20 goals and 40 pts...it was this series that cemented his status as the rat The Horton hit was the last straw for sure though, that's where the series notably shifted, I'd say the B's were playing pretty subdued up until that point. In other words, the Canucks F-ed around and found out.

Hating a team requires the luxury that your own team isnt so dumb you dont trust them to develop a photo, let alone a prospect. The canucks have simply been too stupid the last decade for me to get hung over this anymore

Imagine not showing up in game 7 at home? Toooouuughh

“Hello everybody my name is Markiplier and welcome to ‘Getting Over It’”

tell canuck fans to not start riots after losing cause it has happened twice in less than 2 decades 2011 and 1994

Adam McQuiad, the defensmen, yes, a notable 4th liner. Jokes aside, the Canucks played terribly in that final and deserved to lose, every game the Bruins won was an absolute blowout and sheer domination, every game the Canucks won was a grindy, close game which could go either way. Luongo had 2 shutouts in the finals, in other words, if Luongo didn't shutout Boston, Vancouver had a 66% chance of losing.

i never knew about campbell

God I love you Bs

They never will, and the salt is delicious.

Let it goooo, let it gooooooo

lol. Ummmm…it was 12 years ago people. Maybe…just maybe…it’s time to move on.😄

i never remembered anything from then but getting all of this really boosts my hate for boston and how it could have been a way we could have won

no we don't.

no i don’t think i will

You people got beat......deal

The other interesting thing that you don't mention is the intriguing strapping system on Tim Thomas's pads which were later discovered to be counterfeit pads. The NHL's goalie equipment inspector for the playoffs at the time was Kay Whitmore and unlike Campbell who allowed himself to remain on and influence things potentially when they involved his son, Kay recused himself from the goalie equipment inspector position for the finals because he had previously been the backup goaltender to Kirk McLean for the Canucks during the 1994 playoffs so his connection to Vancouver made it a conflict of interest for him to be inspecting the goalie equipment of both Roberto Luongo and Tim Thomas

two in a row eh? get bent

Nah

Sadly it really came down to the Canucks arrogance and their lack of effort on the road, they didn’t fully deserve to win that cup but all that matters is now and the fans should get over that final

that hit wasn't legit

The series was rigged, get over yourselves. Everyone knows it was a rigged series.

They weren't beating boston anyways
