The last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup was 2003 (Montreal Canadiens won). This season Vancouver and Boston are facing off in the finals. Right now the Vancouver Canucks are leading the series 3-2 over the Boston Bruins. The Canucks are on the verge of winning the Stanley Cup. Vancouver has made it to the Stanley Cup finals before but have never won. Both teams have a Michigan born teammate: Ryan Kessler (VAN)from Livonia, MI and Tim Thomas (BOS) from Flint, MI. Ryan Kessler played collegiate hockey for The Ohio State University. Tim Thomas played for the University of Vermont during his collegiate years.
Game 1 and 2 went to Vancouver with a nail bitter ending. In Game 3, Rome did a dirty hit on Nathan Horton, he was taken off the ice by a stretcher. Horton will be out for the rest of the series, the NHL did suspend Rome for four games. This propelled the Bruins to an 8-1 win. Game 4 was 4-0 win and the Bruins tied the series 2-2. Game 5, the Canucks took the game 1-0.
Game 6 is on Monday June 13th at 8pm on NBC, CBC and RDS.
