2016 NHL Playoffs, Rite of Spring: "You thought God was an architect"

[infrared41]

Sorry, Blues, but a 2-1 series lead isn't enough to win me back*. Win this series and maybe we'll talk. 

 

*Basically a Sports Show reference. 

[SFGiants58]

I'm happy that the Sharks have a 2-0 lead, but I'm keeping the Everclear on standby. Just kidding, I don't have any Everclear, but I know the Shark's playoff routine and it's going to take a lot to convince me they can get past the Kings.

At least they're wearing teal for the playoffs, like they should have been all along.

Three Islander goals in the second period. Sounds to me like the first star of this game is gonna be Honky the Car.

The Islander coach looks like his calling should be "Honky the Used Car Salesman"......

Secondary assist to the SUV on the game-winning goal.

I think one of our illustrious Islander posters said he looks like he sleeps in a mattress store. Did you know he's second in franchise wins behind Al Arbour?

 

Beautiful winner from Hickey in the defend-twice end. This is the magic of Honky the Car.

[Unocal]

First star in FLA/NYI- coach's challenge.

He looks like a guy that eats his boogers.....or the grown up version of Booger from "Revenge of the Nerds".

 

Or both.

These Predators-Ducks games seem to be taking longer than normal.  Both Game 1 and tonight's game have had a bit of a glacial pace....

He looks like a guy who swears the check is in the mail, seriously, no foolin' this time.

It's going to suck watching the Blues lose 3 straight to finish the series.

Nice that the Ducks have decided to spare us the Game 7 misery this year and just get swept instead. Makes things easier.

[ninersdd]

Halfway there to a Sharks-Perds 2nd round.

 

Still lots of hockey left though I know.

[Morgan33]

It can be shocking when a top seeded team drops their first two games, at home, but it's hardly insurmountable.  Just ask the 2006 Hurricanes and 2011 Bruins...

[Cujo]

Looking more and more like the 2016 Freeway Series will be held at Torrey Pines.

Which is basically going to lead to a Dallas Stars "coming out party" in the Western Conference Finals. 

 

JOY. 

[Still MIGHTY]

Nashville is smothering the Ducks at every turn, beating them to the punch just about every time. Just thoroughly outplaying them. The Ducks are letting Nashville make the first move, and the Perds are running with it every time. Ducks just not responding to anything out there.

 

Plenty of work to go, but if the Ducks can't change the tune in Game 3, then there's no point in them coming home.

 

 

Spoiler

 

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT THHHHHEEEEEEEEE FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK DUCKS!?!

 

These are the MOTHERFACKING PLAYOFFS, ASSSHOLES!!! Did you forget? BECAUSE IT ING LOOKS LIKE IT.

 

Nashville is running a train over your asses. ITS PATHETIC.

 

Like seriously, GOD DAMN. You have all the motivation in the world. Look at the last three years. Look at last season! You were there! You were ING THERE. And you open up these playoffs with those two ass performances? ING REALLY?

 

you, you choking dogs. Come back 2-2 or don't bother.

 

...

 

 

 

 

Sigh.... This is awful.

He looks like a guy who lives in his boss' basement.

I saw a guy in the grocery store last night wearing a Predators hat, Predators jersey, and Predators pajama pants. I felt like asking him who his favorite team is, but it just made me sad that I don't have a team in the playoffs. 

 

 

The most entertaining series so far as been Islanders-Panthers.
