Vancouver Canucks are on the verge of winning the 2011 Stanley Cup and can claim victory by beating Boston Bruins this evening

The Vancouver Canucks will be in Boston tonight to face the Bruins in game six of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. The Stanley Cup will be in the building and if Vancouver pull off a victory they will be awarded the Cup for the first time in their franchise's history.

Boston are considered favorites in game six (Source: bet365) and a big reason for that is how badly the Canucks played in the games from the TD Center so far this series. Boston wrecked Vancouver in games three and four by a combined score of 12-1 as the Canucks searched for both defense and offense.

Roberto Luongo, goal-tender for Vancouver, made the following comments regarding what happened in Boston earlier in the series:

"I don't want to start making excuses for what happened here in the first two games," Luongo said. "(Monday) night is all about having fun, making sure you enjoy the moment and come ready to play hard, lay it all on the line and see what happens."

Luongo's comments suggest that he's feeling the pressure heading into game six as he probably isn't interested in "having fun" tonight at all, at least ahead of a locker-room champagne party, but is just trying to tone down the magnitude of game six in his head.

Despite the outcomes of games three and four, the Canucks can win game five and a good start would go a long way to helping. If Boston jump out to a first period lead the Canucks may find themselves saying "Here we go again."

However if one of the Sedins or Alex Burrows can light the lamp early then that would go a long way to helping Vancouver ground some confidence in the games from the TD Center.

Game time on Monday is at 8pm ET (5pm PT) with television coverage available on NBC and CBC.
