#1 Love the title. Canuck.
The real deathplace of Davy Crockett and his Tennessee troopers, named in honor of Kaintuck.

Love this guy. Seriously isn't Vancouver known as a pot capital? How did all these stoners muster up the anger?

#3 Gee the smug folks up in America Jr. are acting like the Greeks then their welfare benefits are cut.

If their hockey teamed played more like the rioters and stopped flopping like the Florence soccer team, maybe they could have won the Skill vs Will battle.

#5 Agreed, the most inspired play from Vancouver on the ice was the gentleman who sang, "O Canada".

I don't know if they were worn out from the series or just thought that they would win because they were at home, but it was their worst game (though not worst loss).

Credit to the Boston D, especially at goalie. The games they lost were because of mental farts at a critical time. The games they won they were just about impossible. Vancouver took horrible shots on goal in game 7, a lot of them unforced.

Oh, they mustered the energy...three hours too late to make any difference. Seriously, game 7 at home, way too quiet, kept waiting for the monocles to come out with polite applause for both teams.

#6 Compare and contrast with the Victory celebration and parade in Dallas.

200,000+ in Dallas, and not one riot or assault attributed to it.
