Rite of Spring '15: exhume our idols! bury our friends!

Hey, remember when the Lightning were a virtual shoe-in to win this series? Those were better times. Much better times. Times that I'm not too optimistic will...oh, actually happen.

Jeezus. I would've expected fans of a team that's won the Cup twice in the last six years wouldn't be so quick to panic about a 2-1 series deficit. Sounded ridiculous on Monday and looks completely ridiculous in retrospect.

No, that would be salt in a salt shaker.

Achieving a 3-2 lead in the SCF against the Lightning, on the road, with a chance to win the cup in one of the best looking red jerseys ever created... How very familiar. The uniform enthusiast in me hopes the result will very different. You stole your cup Tampa, and you don't deserve another... Ever. More people showed up to Calgary's rally after losing than your pathetic cup parade.

Go Hawks

Hey, if anyone would know anything about theft in a Stanley Cup Final, it would be a Canucks fan.

What exactly are you referencing, just out of curiosity. (Could be a number of things).

That's the point.

I wasn't personally declaring the series over, but it sure as hell didn't look encouraging. They had played like crap for three games and were lucky to have won one of them. They were getting beaten by an injured goalie and not even making him work that hard. It's a short series and they were halfway to elimination. Things change on a dime. For instance, if the Lightning come out an win tonight, I don't think too many people would feel good about Chicago's chances on Wednesday.

I think I've posted this before but it still works...

Blackhawks fans when their team is playing for the Cup.

Hope the Hawks close it out tonight!

I have the red jersey and just want to buy a 2015 patch, then throw a patch on my home Towes jersey!

Plus I'll win 300 in my pool when the Hawks win the Cup, another 100 if they do it in 6 and another 100 if 7 goals are scored tonight!

Well, hopefully you win $500 tonight. But I'd rather the Hawks win 4-3 than 6-1 with the entire third period being a formality. That being said, I very well might have a heart attack in a 4-3 game. Just in case, I'll leave my laptop open to this website and instruct my wife to alert you guys of my demise.

There's no shame in winning the cup 6-1 at home in Game 6.

Definitely not. I'll gladly take it. I'm just saying that I'd prefer a close game to a blowout. I'm reminded of most Super Bowls from the '90s when the NFC players would bust out the championship hats with 3 or 4 minutes left in the game. It would be nice if the outcome was in doubt until the end and there was a real, spontaneous reaction, not just guys killing time and waiting to celebrate. But that, like winning at home, is ultimately icing on the cake.

I've had enough close games for a lifetime this year. Step on their goddamn throats until they're purple and crapping themselves.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Phil Pritchard comes across as the type who enjoys a thorough cavity search.

I'm wanting the Blackhawks to win tonight, only because a buddy of mine was in Chicago this morning and grabbed today's paper for me. It'd be neat to have a Chicago paper the day they win the Cup at home for the first time in 70-whatever years....
