The horse I was told was Quinns best 2yo runs today at York.  Tough race to start in and judging by the performance of his other   2yos today may only be the best of a bad bunch.  Cant do too much damage at 20/1

Money well spent mate and why not  , did paste your ante-post comments from last year at the start of the final itself and I know Swardean and Ice King have some tasty bets if Nucks do the business


This is the 3rd thread on the subject and the previous couple exceeded 8000 posts , that said the views are always about 10 fold so people maybe like to look in late on and see if there's anything worth staying up for , posters have dwindled but it's always been hard to generate any lengthy conversation ( outside the handful of regulars ) as the majority just want a bet as opposed to following the sport in any great depth.

Also think a few drop in and wonder what the thread is all about , no insults , bad language , personal abuse , free money posts or " if this gets beat i'll leave the forum " boasts , by betfair forum standards without those things the thread is frankly seen as extremely boring to the majority.


Good luck on Monday 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

any opinions for tonight? can Bruins hammer back again at home?

Good luck guys , no chance of me betting on this game , just want to watch and enjoy and wouldn't have a clue what's going to happen anyway 

wowza, another cricket score here and then then nucks will take the final game 1-0

Will be a crying shame if Vancouver win this thing now - they have only shown in half the games

Roll on Thursday morning

Bruins ML 2.32
Bruins to win the Cup 2.38 [smiley:crazy]

No difference between them. Maybe it's people wanting to lay off their Bruins Cup bets in the same market, I don't know. Take the higher price I say

TT wins the conn smythe regardless of who wins tonight Hayden? I don't see who else deserves it ... another Luongo shutout might sway it but it shouldn't really considering the battering he's taken in Boston.

Good evening, gentlemen,

The last night of the season so thought I would drop in.  Hopefully my hectic life will allow me to spend more time in this 'pub' next season.

My flutter has gone on the Canucks to hopefully celebrate the cup coming back to Canada.  I hadn't realized till today that the last time a Canadian team kept the silverware was when the Canadiens won in '93!!!!

And as a boy growing up in Canada and on the ice, the night was a special one for me. 

After the game, because I worked with a company that put on shows at the Forum, I ended up working my way to the VIP area sharing the moment with players from past teams.  All my childhood 'heroes'.  Then eventually, I cut through the back corridors, into the dressing room and eventually to the Cup itself, working up the courage then reaching and grabbing it with one hand.

Afterwards, with the place empty and the ice still down, I walked out to center ice and just stood there.

All the money, sponsorship, salaries and, well, betting makes us forget what sports is all about.

Like I said, nothing more than a flutter to buy a couple of pints if the Cup comes north.

To those that get to watch, enjoy.

Thats a moving story shapes, im rooting for the bruins tonight for financial reasons, but wouldnt feel too let down if the nucks get their hands on the trophy. It will be well deserved.

I would just love to see the bruins step up to the plate tonight and bring some of their home form to the game, but if im honest i think the nucks will do it!!

Precisely allinadayswork, its Hockey tradition to sport a "playoff beard" till your knocked out of the cup.  Tried it myself but didnt really go with my company's corporate image.

Just settling down now to match and although desprate for a Canucks win, if they are beaten by a better team on the night I can live with that and will be back for more next year.

Just pouring a whisky (switched to Canadian Club) for the night

I was lucky enough to attend a playoff game 7 (via Calgary a few years back) and the atmosphere was incredible.  Can't imagine the intensity tonight and hope that translate a positive rather than nervous energy for the teams.

Can see this one being physical but the refs can't do much other than let them play.

Enjoy tonight everyone, lets hope for a classic.

Go Bruins

Lets have some

couple of mins

Don't know whether you guys have noticed but we never discuss commentators on this thread , probably because we're oblivious to them and take them for granted , in my view they're the best group of sporting commentators anywhere in the world across all sports 

GTFI

Great job Boston Bruins!!!!

Agreed very disappointted but better team won over the 7 games (certainly the better goalie).

Well done Boston and Drewboy!!

I'm going to look at the links after racing.  Have watched the highlights this morning having only managed to watch the first two periods (was drunk yesterday afternoon ).

Boston were probably better, but the keepers made the most telling difference.  If I had to go for a skater it would have been Marchand (tireless and inspirational - great future in the game surely) or Krejci (right place/right time).

What struck me from the snippet of highlights was how little magnanimity was shown by the Vancouver fans.  Now I can only guess how disappointed they were from how I've felt about my football team that frequently let me down - but I'd have thought any right-minded hockey fan would have appreciated Tim Thomas' efforts throughout the Stanley Cup?

Its been a thoroughly enjoyable season - thanks for the kind words, its always more fun when you win a few quid.  See you in a few months - or on the racing forum.
