Why did they lose?

Booby Lu, most obviously. That guy doesn't have any stones, IMO. Plus probably some bad luck. Luongo gave up 21 goals in the four losses in the finals lat year. Even though the team wasn't scoring at a torrid clip, that's unacceptable.

They have no heart. The Bruins slapped them in the face and they wilted. They also bit Bergeron, don't poke the Bear. Did I mention I'm a B's fan?

"They" didn't bite Bergeron. Burrows, the biggest bitch currently in the NHL, bit Bergeron. I hate Burrows as much as the next guy, Luongo as well, but I like watching Van on the whole. They play pretty hockey; most teams don't. Love Kes, but I love every NHLer from Southeast Michigan.

Yes it was Burrows, not the team, but the team paid for it. Bergeron in these parts, is highly respected and admired by coaches and players alike. He's a class act off the ice, soft-spoken, hard working two-way player and one of the best defensive forwards in the game. If Burrows had bit Marchand or Campbell, they probably would have deserved it. Doing it to Bergeron really pissed off Boston, and they responded extremely aggressively. The exact opposite of how Vancouver responded to Sedin getting punched in the face five times in a row. I do love Kesler though, great player.

Anyway, a rematch isn't too hard to imagine. The B's offense is significantly better than last year, and they have tons of heavy hitters on the back end. I think it'll be them or Pitt out of the East. West is a little harder to pin down. San Jose as a potential 8 seed??? Crazy world. I think only Phoenix and LA are locks to NOT win the West. The rest is a crap shoot.
