Marchand on facing Pens: "We're in over our heads... I think those guys will battle a lot harder than Vancouver did in the Finals.” #canucks

As much of a douche Marchand is, his comments were taken out of context. From http://blogs.theprovince.com/2013/05...n-the-finals/:

Quote:

Does this scenario remind Marchand of two years ago against Vancouver?

“That’s how it goes sometimes. Obviously, they are the favorites. They have some guys that are very skilled and very talented, and they have the two best players in the world . . . and then you add Iginla. And their third and fourth line are playing so well right now.

“We’re in over our heads. We’ve got a big job to do. We’re all excited to try it out and see how it goes. You can see how it’s very much the same way that it was in the Cup Finals versus Vancouver. They were much better than we were, but we just worked hard and got very lucky. Maybe we can get lucky in this series too. It was a little nerve-wracking going into that series. Everybody said we were going to lose in four or five games. You start thinking to yourself, ‘Geez … maybe these guys really are that good.’ “

As Marchand and the rest of the Bruins understand, however, the Penguins are also a bit of a different animal than the Canucks.

Crosby is a physical player that won’t eventually submit as many of Vancouver’s players did. And players like Neal, Iginla and Morrow aren’t going to be discouraged after a few board-rattling hits from the Bruins.

Boston knows it’s in for an alley fight with the Penguins, and the Bruins will have to be close to perfect in order to advance to the Cup Finals.

“Things can happen in hockey, and you can get some good bounces. Hopefully we get some of those,” Marchand said. “In any seven-game series you definitely want to wear the other guys down, especially their top guys. But Pittsburgh is a little different. They’ve got some very physical guys over there, and their third and fourth lines play very hard.

“Even the first line with [Chris] Kunitz and [Pascal] Dupuis, those are hard-working guys. Second line with Neal and Iginla, those guys will work, too. I think those guys will battle a lot harder than Vancouver did in the Finals.”

lol I remember he asked Luongo before the deadline "did you buy your ticket to Toronto yet?"

Lu wasn't too pleased.

I'm actually surprised.
His comments were pretty classy, unlike how Farhan Lalji tried to spin it.

Shots fired

Even if that's all Marchand said, he's right. The Canucks barely put up a fight in game 6 and 7...fucking embarrassing

So looks like the Habs won't be signing Michael Ryder... Would love to see him in a Canucks uniform

First games are very iffy... Especially now that it is down to these 4 teams.

Waiting for 7seven for his final bets before I place mine.

*edit:
Yeah, I went ahead and bet Pens and Kings to win series for a 3.17 payout (parlay).

Interesting, but long article. Focuses on the business market side of things

Why Can't Canada Win The Stanley Cup

Why Can't Canada Win the Stanley Cup? - NYTimes.com

in my opinion, Money Can't Buy Championships, but with all that said, the business side of how the NHL is doing is put through the microscope in that article
