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

[Midway]

Like someone here already said, the Leafs failed to kill this monster when they had the chance.

I'm not counting the Pens out though, they've been here before and have more than enough firepower to flip the script once they find their groove.

Next year's Winter Classic is going to be "The two teams that should have knocked out the finalists until choking" game.

Psh. That's totally photoshoped. Chara has the 2011 finals patch on his jersey and Crosby's jersey has the Reebok logo they haven't used since 2011.

[The_Admiral]

Do the little green stickers mean his skates have radios in them?

[NJTank]

The Bruins have opened a can on the Penguins so far, I guess instead of gettinga million scorers they should have tried to find a better goalie in the Steel City.

[speedy]

How do you Pittsburgh fans feel about Crosby's play this series? Granted the blame isn't solely on him - defense has been terrible as well - but take a look at his stat line.

G: 0 A: 0 P: 0 +/-: -3 SOG: 5 TK: 1 GV: 4 PIM: 4 FO: 14/35 TOI: 47:22

One of those faceoffs he lost was a defensive zone FO against Shawn Thornton. SHAWN THORNTON!! Incredible.

That Chara/Crosby shop is one of the funniest sports ones I've seen in a while. Kudos to CS85.

I'd have to imagine the Pens have the firepower to storm back in this one, while the Kings can take one to two, but likely fall do to inept goaltending and injuries. I will give LA this though; they've had one of the better runs of a defending champ in the last couple years. I thought the Blues made a big enough stride to take them in 6 or 7, but then they made an adjustment and woke up.

Didn't make it.

[Kevin W.]

Mike Richards is out for game 3 tonight.

[Alex Houston]

Didn't make it.

Well then, kudos to you for finding it.

[TorinK29]

I think the playoff's this year are proving no Richards, no win

[FiddySicks]

Ok, so can anyone explain to why exactly the Kings have Cartman doing their arena chants? That makes me want this team to lose even more.

[zpqmaowl]

Trey and Matt are huge fans of the team. This has been going on since (at least) 2006.

I love how they do that. It's hilarious!

[Brass]

This series is far from over...

[The_Admiral]

Uh oh, Hawks can't play their game on this slush. This might be a problem.

[CS85]

There's no surprises here. LA sucks on the road but are a different team at home. Quick's playing much better, the Hawks are playing sloppily, and yeah. This is pretty much what I expected.

[TorinK29]

Carter got an assist, whaaaaat?

[The_Admiral]

God bless Bickell. He just singlehandedly willed his team onto the scoreboard there.

I'm surprised the Hawks got a first/last minute goal! They seem to give up way more of those than they score (especially the last minute).
