rfmcdonaldCongratulations, Boston!
The 2011 Stanley Cup Finals have ended, and the Bruins won by 4-0, this despite the Canucks' playing on home ice back in Vancouver.
(If you're curious, yes, I'm happy with this: I am from Atlantic Canada ...)
The game wasn't close. At the beginning of the third period, the Bruins were ahead three to nothing, having established that lead in the first period. The CBC Hockey Night in Canada online chat featured a poll asking if viewers thought the Bruins would get a fourth goal just seconds before they actually did. Goalie Roberto Luongo's career has to be over.
I came across three tweets of note tonight.
Oh, and Bruce Arthur shared his memories of the riot that followed the Canucks' 1994 defeat in the finals.

- Wil Wheaton argued that Canucks' goalie Luongo is like "a parachute that works well on the ground, but turns into a backpack when you jump out of the plane."
- I liked Steve Paikin's tweet: "Bruins outscoring canucks 22-8 so far in the series. They deserve to win."
- Toronto tech writer Ivor Tossell made a sour observation: "When I said we've found Toronto's second team, btw, I meant the Canucks. I feel we'd get each other." Granted the Canucks have done much better than the Leafs in a long time ...
