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

I'm gonna lose my friggen mind if we're going to be subjected to Drew Remenda's BS for this entire series.

Seriously. Just give us Jim Hughson already. I'm certain he's on this series, just like he's been on every Canucks playoff series for who knows how many years now.

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

Maclean: Well, actually...

Cherry: Let me finish!

Couture! About damn time

[CS85]

Ha.

Edit:

Ha.

[ninersdd]

What a gutless play

[Kramerica Industries]

Marleau makes it 3-1 San Jose.

Looks highly likely Vancouver will concede home ice in Game 1 once again. Also makes them the first home team to lose this postseason.

Hey Sharks fans, know this: the last three Cup champs had knocked out the Canucks in their routes. So...step one complete in their four-step process.

[CS85]

Ah, the playoffs. How soon until we can get some legitimate fiery (insert team, likely Blackhawks)/Canucks gloves-off hate flinging? It's almost an annual tradition at this point.

[ninersdd]

I'm happy.

However though, one win is only one win. 3 more are left.

This only adds another chapter to the soap opera that is the Canucks crease.

Huh, so "Riki" was the long-banhammered "max"? That explains why every one of his posts read like he was smoking a bad strain.

In Canada, the Vancouver series is being carried by TSN, not CBC.

Good Game by the Sharks. Like ninersdd said though it's only one game as Sharks took game one in last season's playoffs and lost four straight. So hopefully it's a different result in this season's Stanley Cup Playoffs and the Sharks can continue to build on this lead. Game 2 Friday. Go Sharks!!

Also, bracket has been updated.

Damn. I know there was a new contract recently that allowed for Canadian teams to perhaps be aired on not-CBC, but it still surprises me to see that happen.

What a game last night. Dat backcheck by the Bruins was phenomenal.

And where the did Wade Redden come from?! Somebody tell him it's not 2002.

Is CBC covering 'Canada's team' then?

Edit: Whoa. Absolutely amazing.

[Kramerica Industries]

CBC always does an excellent job with those montage's.

[Sport]

Oh great, a hockey video for me to watch 9 times and not get any work done.

If you edit together hockey clips set to a rock song I will watch the hell out of it. One day I hope to see the Blue Jackets appear in one of these CBC montages.

GG, Bruins. See you Saturday.

It was infuriating how often the Leafs were being hemmed in their own zone. And how terrible Fraser is. And how Orr and McLaren are playing in the first place.

[CDixonDesign]

Ference will get a game, which I agree with.

I love Brad Marchand for this very reason, he went a little 2011:

All in all, alot of momentum heading into Saturday. If the Bruins play at the same level Saturday, this series could be pretty short.

[Kramerica Industries]

That little pissbag better be glad his whack didn't actually hit JvR. Not saying he wasn't provoked, but he would've been staring down a suspension if he did.
