Thank you fellow Canuck, we will look into that. Vancouver Canucks semis series starts sun here, @5pm.

Good luck for the Canucks. When Petri Skriko was about 14 years I was his football (soccer) team manager. He did the right thing when he chose hockey to be his no. 1 sport. He was good in football, too. But not too many Finns can make football as their profession. Ice-hockey is a different thing.

I don't really have a favourite team in NHL. I just follow how the Finns do there and hope one of them will be a Stanley Cup winner. So I should perhaps support SJS this season but actually my symphaties go for Bruins, which were my favourites when I was in my early teans. That was when Bobby Orr played there.

I can't recall any pub showing NHL in Thailand but I think it's possible to watch it on mp2p.

Aaah, Bobby Orr! The one and only.
Greatest player of all time, and this from a Canadiens fan!

From the condo thread......

....... Wonder if any of you guys in Thailand have channels that carry NHL playoff games! Or even care! Jimmy

Absolutely. True Visions platinum package has ASN (Asia Sports Network) and they show NHL almost continuously everyday during the season, and of course all the playoff games. Pete

It's really amazing. No helmets in those days.

Thanks for that Bamboo! He was something!
I saw him play as a Junior against players as old as 20. He was 15 and small but he controlled the play totally.

I grew up watching, and playing, hockey in Detroit during the golden day's of Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe!

Hocky night in Canada across the river on the old black and white! Then out to the frozen ponds the next day, great memories!!

Our Vancouver Canucks have a great player fom Michigan right now. Ryan Kesler from Livonia, gives 110% and is a great 2-way player.

A very interesting Stanley Cup final coming up. Now I'll just have to find a way to watch the matches. In a way I don't mind it going either way but just for the ol' times sake "Come on you Bruins."

[Bamboo Grove]

It looked like going the Canucks way after the first two matches in Vancouver but a 8-1 victory for the Bruins in the first game in Boston must have been a big mental schock for the Canucks. When was the last time a team got a 7 goal victory in the finals?

[johnnyk]

Brutal game, some sore bodies today.
Bamboo, I looked it up: Colorado beat Florida 8-1 in Game 2 of the 1996 Final on June 6, 1996. 15 years to the day.
I think there has been a momentum shift in the series.

A great Finals, a classic. Congrats to Boston, but I feel badly for Vancouver. Their first chance at the cup but the Bruins apparently just too strong. It literally all came down to who could win on away ice. Pete
