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

Game winner on a shot that was redirected twice, I think I'm going to say this game was officially epic.

At the stroke of midnight in Chicago, the Bruins are Chelsea Daggered.

[CS85]

What an unbelieveable game. Hats off to the Bruins, but words can't describe how jacked I am that the Blackhawks took game one. Let's do it again Saturday night (let's just play regulation, though)!!

[Lights Out]

Wow.

[DDR]

EPIC redirection. That game just saved hockey.

[fouhy12]

Both teams earned a victory here. Both should have won in OT. The Hawks got the lucky shot. Chelsea Dagger.

[OMMF]

Can't say it was a great game because of the loss but what a series this is shaping up to be. Hopefully Horton is okay but I'm guessing we see Pandolfo or Soderberg in for game 2. With the way the rooks/youngsters have been playing for the B's, wouldn't mind seeing the Swede.

[FGM13]

That game was just epic in every way possible. This series will go down as a classic.

[CS85]

Has there ever been a game with 2 more evenly matched teams? I feel for Boston, but they know a thing or two about coming back. I'm delighted but this series is going to be a war.

..................................................................................Well, looks like the Bruins are back to pre 2011 form. All Daugivins has to do is shoot the puck at the WIDE OPEN net.... Great game from Chicago.... I really wish there was someone who could replace Seguin... I'm sick of him sucking so much.

[Kevin W.]

What. A. :censored:ing. Game.

[The_Admiral]

A game to remember.

[JQK]

Im exhausted...

No matter who you root for anywhere in the realm of hockey.... what a great game....

Double deflection ends the game in the 3rd Overtime. Here is the updated bracket:

[nitpick]The Bruins numeral should be gold, not silver.[/nitpick]

Well I had it that way to begin with, but then I got the (seemingly?) brilliant idea to give color the number of the team ahead in the series. So if Boston were to win Saturday's game, both number would be silver, and then if Boston won Game 3, their number would be gold. too harsh? I don't mind switching it to make the Bruins 0 gold and Hawks red, if that's better with the the masses. let me know.

If the rest of the series is like Game 1 we are in for a hell of a two weeks.

[CS85]

Julien on Shaw: "We know he's an agitator. We know he's good at embellishing, too, at times. We know all that stuff. We've done our research."

Lose with some dignity, jerkoff. It's one game and you blew a lead, why undermine the guy with the winning deflection? I'd hoped the collective of the Bruins would be a bit more graceful than that.

[Still MIGHTY]

Holy good hell.

What a hockey game.

Mark this down, this will be remembered as one of the all time classic series. And I can not wait for the next one.

(I'm only pissed I'll probably miss the end of this series somewhere on a boat in the southern Caribbean.)

Bruins got "Maple Leafed" tonight (blow a 3rd period multi-goal lead and lose in OT).
