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

Well if any team can teach you a lesson on how to play playoff hockey, it'd be Boston. I think Toronto bounces back on Saturday. The Isles on that hand, don't know!

Cherry: I'm going to say something if I have time here...

Maclean: Well, actually...

Cherry: Let me finish!

They could replace Ron with a rotten pumkin and Don wouldn't notice

Just Game 1, but damn.

We waited 9 years for this?

At least they scored a goal .

[Still MIGHTY]

We have gotten any live interviews from Vancouver yet...

We're getting Randy and Drew aren't we? Please don't tell me we're getting Randy and Drew. we're getting Randy and Drew.

EDIT: and literally two seconds in, they're being all Randy and Drew, but especially being Drew.

[Kramerica Industries]

I just tuned in. I seriously hope Bret Hedican isn't there as well, for Drew's sake.

This affiliate system needs to DIE. Damn you Comcast Spectacor.

With Hannan playing in game 1, Sharks 6th round pick now belongs to Nashville.

The Sharks have done everything, but score so far this game.

Ridiculous fake alert behind Todd McLellan!

Canucks fan wearing a black jersey with green lettering. I wish I was making that up.

I know. It's like Oakland Raiders black meets Seattle Seahawks lime green.

[Still MIGHTY]

It's not a fake. I think it's one of those "Black Ice" fashion jerseys. Not fake, but it is awful.

[BLUELANDbeliever]

Gross.

[Still MIGHTY]

Also interesting is that the NBCSN logo is on the corner boards in a game in Canada, rather than TSN or CBC.

[Kramerica Industries]

Gross.

Now that I think of it, I see that douche quite often at Canucks games. Obviously a season ticket holder, but I'm pretty accustomed to wondering WTF that guy is thinking when he makes his choices of attire before heading to the arena.

And yeah, the Black Ice checks out:

Doesn't justify it, of course, but I guess it's better than a fake.

[ninersdd]

That still looks like a fake, the letters on the guys' jersey are closer together then the ones on the real jersey.

[Kramerica Industries]

Yeah, but that would be something really remarkable then, wouldn't it?

Getting a fake version of a fake color scheme? Jeez, look at his seats. He can't be that strapped for cash.

[BLUELANDbeliever]

Confession: I kinda like(d) the Black Ice Jerseys (for some teams, TBL, Chicago, Pittsburgh)

Better view, look at the shoulders

[Kramerica Industries]

Cory Schneider has a "body" injury?

Thanks for not being vague, 'Nucks.

[BLUELANDbeliever]

That pile of vomit is a goal? Wow this is gonna be a looooonnnggg series.

ahahahahaha

Drew: "You think those guys in those green suits live in their moms basement?"

Randy: "Undoubtedly"

Drew: "They're probably big gamers too"

Randy: "They probably collect potholders."

Drew: "Snowglobes...betcha they have a big snowglobe collection. Do they have hockey snowglobes?"

Randy: "Do they have rainglobes? Because here in Vancouve that would be more appropriate."

Drew: "Yes. Much more appropriate"

[FiddySicks]

Perfect setup so for for the Sharks. This game is basically a microcosm of the San Jose Sharks existence. How shake and outshoot their opponents to a ridiculous degree, yet still lose 1-0.
