Stanley Cup Final

Bruins Fans Share Their Disdain for Max Lapierre on Twitter During Game 5

by | Jun 11, 2011 | 16 Min Read

Game 5 in Vancouver went like the two previous Stanley Cup Final games out west for the Bruins.

They fought valiantly and came up just one goal short.

Bruins fans took to Twitter to discuss the action on Friday night, using the hashtag #NHLCup11.

Clearly, the Bruins Twitterverse has no love for Alex Burrows and Max Lapierre.

See what fans were saying as Game 5 unfolded, and how they're feeling about Boston's prospects for the rest of the series.

‎	willmichaeliam‎ #NHLCup11 Seems to be assumption that we can all fast forward to Game 7. Cup will be in the building Mon and Canucks will want it. Twitter – Jun 10, 2011 11:13:20 PM
