Boston wins, and another series heads onward to game seven. Here's why:
The Canucks have had a miserable couple of nights in Boston. They might be able to turn their luck around, but I can't imagine that they aren't at least a little haunted by the ghosts of games three and four. (As a mark of how miserable their previous experiences at the Garden were, my husband told me the following joke: "What's the time in Boston?" "Twelve past Luongo." Yeah.)
All post-season, the Canucks have, shall we say, lacked killer instinct. And to defeat the Bruins on their home ice will take a metric fuckton of killer instinct.
Tim Thomas.
The night before every game that the Canucks have won this series, I have dreamed about a Canuck. (Ryan Kesler, Jannik Hansen and Alex Burrows, in case you were wondering. And no, they weren't those kinds of dreams.) I did not dream about either a Canuck or a Bruin the nights before games three or four. Last night I dreamed about Patrice Bergeron. So there you go. We'll see what, if anything, that portends.
That said, while it is wildly improbable that the Canucks will win tonight, it is still within the realm of remote possibility. In that event, I offer the following prediction:
I will weep tears of pure and transcendent joy.
We'll see what happens.
