Game 6-Can't These Teams Take Their Games Across The Border?

We are now 6 games into the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, and one thing has been a constant: these teams keep leaving their "A" games at the 49th parallel, after all the games in Vancouver, all won by the Canucks had these scores, 1-0, 3-2 (OT), 1-0, a total of 5-2. While the scores of the games in Boston, all won by the Bruins, were 4-0, 8-1, and 5-2 for a whopping total of 17-3. Never have the Stanley Cup Final results been this radically different from one venue to the other. It is having the effect of being Hockey's version of the "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers", except it is happening to BOTH teams. If this trend continues, as illogical as it sounds, expect the Canucks to make history Wednesday night in Vancouver, after all, the B's will leave THEIR "A" game at the border.

BTW, No matter what happens Wednesday night in B.C., I believe Tim Thomas will win the Conn Smythe Trophy after game 7, win or lose.
