Vancouver and Boston are the pair of teams playing in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final. It has been awhile since either team has appeared on the NHL grandest of stages. Vancouver last played in the championship round in 1994 and for Boston they last played in the championship round in 1990. Both teams left Vancouver for Game 3 in Boston, struggling to score goals. The Canucks led the series 2-0 in spite of overall scoring issues from great goal tending play by both teams. Some finger biting even happened. One of Boston players was knocked out on a serious hit during Game 3. The Bruins utilized the crushing injury, to motivate them to a 8-1 victory cutting the series deficit to 2-1. NHL reviewed the hit and both players on Boston and Vancouver will miss the rest of the series due to injury and suspension. Moving forward in the series, I'm sure the Bruins have payback on their minds, on the scoreboard and on the ice, expect plenty of penalties.
