Haha! The dumbasses in Vancouver who were rioting deserve any bad things that happen to them. And it just so happens, there is video of one getting his "Just desserts".
Check out the YouTube video here and look where the "Concussion Grenade" lands. Could there be anything more appropriate?

And So It Goes... Bruins Win First Cup Since 1972...Vancouver Riots In Anger...
((HT: NHL on CBC))
The Vancouver Canucks have a lot of blame to go around...
The power play had none. The injuries weakened their scoring punch and depth. The Sedin's game was on a milk carton, and Roberto Luongo seemed out to lunch at the worst time...
However, Tim Thomas played out of his Dominik Hasek-loving mind and the Bruins got points from the most unlikely places- and that's what it takes...
When you mention guys like Marchand, Bergeron, and Peverley, you know what's up... and the Canucks left their fans to set cars on fire in town to let out their frustrations.
Flame out... now, the HQ sees the irony there...
Here's your highlights- if you dig Boston...
The HQ would also like to salute Mark Recchi and Rich Peverley for their time in Atlanta and now get their names etched on the Cup. And don't think Blake Wheeler is kicking himself after getting traded for Peverley at the Deadline, either...
Recchi retires a three-time champ... and the HQ also was getting a good laugh out of the fact that the only thing that got a larger boo than a Bruin was Gary Bettman...
Next up... the Draft...
But, first... the riots...

Canucks Raymond Has Fractured Vertebrae
((HT: NHL on NBC/youtube))
It took all of the first shift in last night's game six for the Vancouver Canucks to have another injury saddle their roster for Wednesday's Game 7...
The Bruins Johnny Boychuk DDT'ed Mason Raymond into the boards during the early stages of last night's game and the early diagnosis is a fractured vertebrae that will keep him out of action from four to six months...
Raymond was on the ice for several minutes before being helped off the ice. He was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation, and there is no word on whether or not Raymond is well or stable enough to travel back to Vancouver at present.
Raymond, who played alongside Ryan Kesler and Chris Higgins on the Canucks' second line, was replaced by Jannik Hansen last night...
More juggling for Alain Vigneault for the new lines... which will be revealed tomorrow morning- and again tomorrow night...
Here's the call from last night...

Another Boston Massacre For Luongo, Bruins Protect Home Ice--Post game reax
It would appear throughout this Stanley Cup Final series that Roberto Luongo's game never made it past customs at the U.S./Canadian border. All of British Columbia is holding their breath that the trend continues for Luongo. Another fantastic performance on home ice by the Canucks goalie and they skate the Stanley Cup for the first time.
Luongo answered the questions of his game 6 performance to the assembled media last night. (Thanks Rogers Sportsnet.)
Luongo has allowed 15 goals in just over 4 1/2 periods in Boston. There will be no more trips to Bean Town for Luango until next season.

For the record the Canucks Daniel Sedin has already guaranteed a Canucks win in game 7.
"We're going to win Game 7," Sedin said after the game.
Read his comments RIGHT HERE
The Bruins did what they had to do and protected their home ice to force a Game 7 and are embracing the opportunity. Here's sound with Mark Recchi, Shawn Thornton, Tim Thomas and head coach Claude Julien on their opportunity to win the Stanley Cup, something Boston hasn't won since 1972. (Thanks CSN New England)
Bruins bombard Canucks: Game 7 Looms
In what has been a very consistent, yet exciting series, the Boston Bruins held serve at home Monday night, beating the Vancouver Canucks 5-3, tying their best of 7 series at 3 games each.
The 1st period was the difference in the this one with Boston getting out to an early 4-0 lead and chasing Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo from the game.
The Canucks did stop the bleeding, scoring 3 goals and making the Bruins work for the win. The difference maker in this one, besides Luongo's failure after calling out Bruin goalie Tim Thomas, 43-year old Mark Recchi. Recchi didn't have a goal, but he did have 3 assists.
One game note: Vancouver winger Mason Raymond was injured in an awkward collision on the boards just 20 seconds or so into the game and sent to the hospital. Raymond needed help just getting off the ice and more than likely is done for the series.
The climactic game 7 will be Wednesday night in Vancouver, and if the rest of the series is an indicator, should be one heck of a game.

Vancouver One Win Away...
((HT: NHL on CBC))
All it took was Max LaPierre solving Tim Thomas and Roberto Luongo saving 31 Boston Briuins shots for the Canucks to be one win from their first Stanley Cup trophy in the 40 years of the team's existence...
The Bruins have outscored the Canucks 12-1 in Boston, but have been outscored 5-2 in Vancouver. Game 6 is Monday in Boston...

Bees Even Up Series With Canucks
((HT: NHL/CBC))
It took the Bruins all of 48 hours to even up the Stanley Cup Final and chase Roberto Luongo with the Game 4 4-0 win in Boston...
All Thrashers fans have to do is look at Rich Peverley and Mark Recchi and think even deeper about what might have been...
Here's the beginning of the end where Alex Burrows, aka Public Enemy Number One, and Bruins goalie Tim Thomas go at it and start going at it even more with less than two minutes left...
The HQ will be more than happy to quote our ol' buddy JR...
Business is about to pick up...

Boston destroys Vancouver after Horton hit... ((UPDATED- Horton And Rome out for playoffs))
This got ugly. Brother Jon reported earlier on the hit by Canucks defenseman Aaron Rome that knocked Bruins winger Nathan Horton out cold.
It made the highly competitive series go from hard-played, to physical.
Boston, instead of cowering in fear, got mad. They annihilated Vancouver 8-1, though they still trail 2 games to 1 in their best of 7 series.
The game got a bit out of hand in the 3rd period with Boston up 4-0. 20 penalties and a fight, combined with 9, 10-minute misconducts. The ageless Mark Recchi had a couple of goals though most everyone chipped in for Boston in some way, shape or form.
The Bruins were also still stewing over Alex Burrows not getting in trouble for biting in game 1, then coming in and dominating game 2.
So far, both teams have held serve, game 4 is Wednesday night in Boston and if form holds, it should be a lot of fun to watch.

AM UPDATE: Horton is done for the playoffs... Rome is, too...
GM Peter Chiarelli announced on the Boston Bruins website that Horton was diagnosed with a severe concussion and would not return...
Vancouver's Aaron Rome had a disciplinary hearing with NHL VP of Operations Mike Murphy this morning and he was given a four-game suspension- taking him out of the playoffs as well...
From CBC Sports and FOSG Elliotte Friedman via Twitter...
The league ((translation: Mike Murphy)) is going to talk to both teams about all the taunting that went on in Game 3. Bruins head coach Claude Julien wasn't too keen on all the extra-curricular stuff. The HQ thought it was pretty funny ourselves...
Or quoting Murphy: "the crap, the garbage that is going on..."
ESPN's Pierre LeBrun also talked to Murphy:
Mike Murphy just told me that he's told both clubs the next player who does the finger wagging in a scrum gets 2 min plus 10-min misconduct

DEVELOPING: Bruins Horton Plowed Early In Game 3
A possible rule violation where Rule 48.1 is concerned... while Aaron Rowe did not leave his feet, he targeted the head of the Boston Bruins' Nathan Horton...
And here's what happened...
((HT:NHL/Versus/HockeyFights.com))
The update on Horton is that he was moving all of his extremities when he arrived and was initially examined at Mass General Hospital...
Good news as the game got immediately chippy...
More when we know more.,..

Cancuks beat Bruins in O.T, right after it started
Alex Burrows of Vancouver helped account for all 3-points, including the game winner just 11 seconds into overtime, leading the Canucks to a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins Saturday night.
The win gives Vancouver at 2-0 lead in the best of 7, Stanley Cup Finals.
Burrows had a night to remember for sure. He scored on a power play in the first period, assisted on Daniel Sedin's goal to tie the game in the second period. And then there was the winner. He ended up with the puck right off the faceoff, circled the goal and stuffed the puck home before Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas could get near it.
Game 3 is in Boston, Monday night. A game the Bruins must win or, well, this so-called "Dramatic" series, won't be so dramatic.

Late Goal By Torres Gives Vancouver Game One
((HT: NHL on NBC/CBC))
We enjoyed the abject chipiness of Game One of the Stanley Cup Finals...
The HQ knows what this would mean to the province of BC to win three more games, but they went bananas after Tico Torres ((as explained by Ryan Kesler)) scored late...
Very late... last minute late...
And it was awesome...
Here's the highlights... there are a lot of them, just one goal...
And post-game sound with Bruins Goaltender Tim Thomas, who had 33 saves in Game one against the Canucks.
Game two is Saturday... and the larger issue for Vancouver is the physical state of defenseman Dan Hamhuis- who is, officially, day-to-day...
Aren't we all...

Burrows Enjoying In-Game Meal During Stanley Cup Finals... ((UPDATED: No Suspension))
((HT: NHL on NBC))
To say the Game One of the Stanley Cup Finals has been a chippy one is a bit of an understatement... face washes, cross-checks, and two high-sticking on Zdeno Chara's face are just the beginning...
The HQ thinks we'll be here a while...
Alexandre Burrows may not after this...
((HT: PuckDaddy))
Our guess is that there will be a one-game suspension from NHL League Minster of Defence pro tem Mike Murphy...
At least... silly play at a bad time...
OFF DAY UPDATE: Burrows is not suspended...
"After reviewing the incident, including speaking with the on-ice officials, I can find no conclusive evidence that Alex Burrows intentionally bit the finger of Patrice Bergeron," Mike Murphy said in a statement.
Burrows denied biting Bergeron...
"I don't mind rough play and scrums at the end, as long as it's just pushing and shoving and all that," Bergeron said following the game. "But biting? I mean come on."
This should go over well for Game 2...

Canucks to play for Cup after 2-OT win...
We were watching this last night, but fell asleep before it ended, unfortunately because it sounds like it was pretty darn exciting.
The Vancouver Canucks used a lucky break to tie the game with :14 seconds left in the game and then won it on Kevin Bieska's rebound shot with just under 10-minutes left in the 2nd overtime period.
The win sent the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Finals for only the 3rd time in their existence.
There were lots of heroes. Roberto Luongo made 54 saves and kept his team close. Forward Ryan Kesler tying the game after getting hurt and skating off the ice midway through the second period. And Bieska, who seemed to always be in the middle of things for Vancouver, found himself at the right place at the right time Tuesday night.
Vancouver will await the winner of the Boston/Tampa Bay series and it now confirms that we'll be getting a cross-continent Stanley Cup Finals series, no matter who else is in it.

Too Many Power Play Goals For Sharks To Comeback
((HT: NHL on NBC/nhl.com))
Usually, when you score three goals in a little less than two minutes, odds are you've got the game locked up...
Game 4 was locked up by Vancouver- especially when Sami Salo scored two goals within 16 seconds of each other. The Sedins had 7 assists between them...
Before today, Salo had only scored once in the playoffs. But the defenseman had the hot hand, and he was fed...
Really... who had Salo in the pool...???
Here's Strades, Panger, and Engie...
Here's Sharks head coach Todd McLellan's post game presser. (Thanks CSN California)
The Canucks can wrap this one up on home ice Tuesday night...
And don't think the arena will be rocking...

Sharks jump Canucks, hold on for win and the Orange Men invade
We guess you can say "They did what they had to do". The San Jose Sharks jumped out to an early 3-0 lead at home versus the Vancouver Canucks.
Two early goals by Patrick Marleau set the tone for San Jose who played a much more aggressive and consistent game in front of the hometown crowd.
Joe Thornton tallied 3 assists and Anti Niemi had 27 saves as the Sharks made a series of it. Vancouver won the first two games at home, the series now sits at 2-1.
Game 4 is Sunday afternoon in San Jose.
Your highlights from SI.com:
Sharks fans also answered Vancouver with their own "Men", the "Orange Men" to be exact. Take a look as the taunt Maxim LaPierre in the penalty box from NHL.com. (This seems somewhat like a Monty Python skit...doesn't it):

Canucks Fan Eager For A Visual
Ben Eager had a busy night...
20 minutes in penalties, a cheap shot on a Sedin, scoring a goal down 7-2 where he ran his mouth on Roberto Luongo, and victim of a flashing...
Our friends at The Score TV network have the short version...
Which is, of course, NSFW... that's how they roll...
Eager is one of those guys who can be a plus on your team in the right situation, and a minus at the absolute worst time...
Like last night...
He's probably a healthy scratch the rest of the way...

Vancouver drops a 7 spot on San Jose
And it wasn't that close. Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, in the chase for Lord Stanley's Cup, was decidedly one-sided.
The Vancouver Canucks took the lead in the 2nd period, and kept on firing at the San Jose Sharks, winning 7-3 and taking a 2-1 lead in their best of 7 series.
Canuck defenseman Kevin Bieska pounded on Sharks forward Patrick Marleau, scored a goal, had an assist or as it was called, the Enforcer hat trick, helping lead the Canucks to the win. Both teams credit Bieska with rattling the Sharks.
Game 3 moves to San Jose on Friday, where the Sharks need to quickly regain their bite or risk being swept out to sea.

Vancouver drowns the Sharks take 1-0 lead
The only real question in this series is who is going to choke the worst in this series. The NHL Western Conference Finals is featuring two teams known more for blowing opportunities than success in recent years.
The Vancouver Canucks got off to the good start, coming from behind and beating the San Jose Sharks 3-2 Sunday night.
Both teams barely made it to this series with the Sharks floundering a 3-0 lead before winning game 7 the other night against Detroit and Vancouver letting a far inferior Nashville team stretch them to 6 games.
The game belonged to Henrik Sedin who assisted on the game tying goal early in the 3rd period and scored the game winner with a little over 11:30 left in the game.
Game 2 is Wednesday night in Vancouver.

Vancouver takes care of business, beat Predators
Well, the dream lived for a short time. By winning all three games on Nashville ice, the Vancouver Canucks assured themselves of a berth in the Western Conference finals after beating Nashville 2-1 Monday night.
They won the best of 7 series, 4-2.
It wasn't easy, the Preds actually outshot the Canucks last night 24-19, but Vancouver made their shots count, scoring their only 2 goals in the first 10 minutes of the game.
Vancouver, the West's top seed will get a little rest while waiting to see who they'll face for the right to battle for Lord Stanley's cup. San Jose and Detroit are fighting for that other berth, with the Sharks up 3-2 heading into tonights game in Detroit.

Preds Stay Alive, Legwand Goes Up And Over...
((HT: NHL/CBC/HockeyMagazine))
The HQ gives the Nashville Predators a lot of credit...
They're hanging in there a lot better than the folks in Philly or Washington right now...
A win last night in Vancouver forces a Game 6 in the WCSF against the Preds very soon, and sometimes when you can't get a shot on goal- go over the top...
Right Jim Hughson...???
Thanks to Alex Edler on that one...
