Rite of Spring 2013 (NHL Playoffs): "You have no fear of the underdog, that's why you will not survive."

I hate that stupid er, but that wasn't a high stick.

Why are we still booing Phil Kessel? His douchebaggery led to Seguin and Hamilton, and indirectly - a cup. Shouldn't we be showering him with standing ovations and gifts every time he touches the puck?

Holy what a rocket by Boychuk! Some may say it was a Johnny Rocket! It was a one timer in transition from the point and he sniped it into the top left corner.

If Seguin scores, I'm sure Kessel will get the usual gratitude chant from the crowd.

If this continues, the Isles will be swept in no time.

Complete opposite of last night... these games blow...

Both the Isles and Leafs have played like they haven't been in the playoffs for a while, which is true.

It's like we opened the first two bday gifts last night and they were just what we wanted. Now we are rummaging through socks and sweaters.

Gee, I wish we had Wade Redden when the Sens played the Maple Leafs a decade ago.

Oh, wait...

Penguins and Bruins are simply much better teams in their respective matchups. These could both be quick series'.

as predicted, the isles are being absolutley manhandled, destroyed, and downright embarrassed out there. they did it to themselves by blowing the last three games against garbage CARm PHI, and BUF. could have been playing MON where we would of had a chance. this team has no chance against the pens.

[NEW.ERA]

Just Game 1, but damn.

We waited 9 years for this?

[BigBubba]

Leafs came out firing in the first ten minutes, but Good Lord did they play awful after that. Giveaway after giveaway after giveaway...

On the bright side, that PoS Ference should be sitting the next few after an elbow to the head on Grabo.
