Your son could learn a valuable lesson from his hero; don't shoot your mouth off. Even if you give him the benefit of the doubt on his post Game-5 comments on Thomas, he ate his words getting burned "out of the paint" ... also he has a track record of blaming his teammates for losses, not sure if he's done that this year but he did last year and the year before. Between this and the NBA finals, it's been a spring of come-uppance for some athletes..

The Bruins outscored the Canucks 23-8. What a pummelling if you think about it .. I'm Canadian, but i have a hard time rooting for Canadian hockey teams. There's just a sense of entitlement to the Cup up here, and when I see the inevitable riot unfold as it did in Vancouver, I feel less guilty for rooting American when it comes to hockey.

How about that Brad Marchand? ... and Patrice Bergeron, he was thought to be done with concussions. The Bruins came back from 2-0 down in two different series. Pretty incredible playoff.
