I'm super psyched about Boston winning!!! Honestly, taking out Nathan Horton was the worst mistake Vancouver made. It galvanized the rest of the Bruins and set them on this tear. Some fun facts here:

Vancouver won three games, with a total of five goals. Boston won four games, with a total of 21 goals. Not even close.

In all seven games, Boston goaltender Tim Thomas allowed eight goals. In the last five games, Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo allowed 18.

Tim Thomas (age 37) is the oldest player to ever win the Conn Smythe trophy. His teammate, Mark Recchi (age 43) is the oldest player ever to score a goal during the Stanley Cup finals.
