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

airing Games Three and Four of the Cup Final on cable (not everyone can see a cup clinching if the series ends in a sweep) to siphoning CBC and TSN feeds, NBC has done a bad to applauding job at handling the logistics of broadcasting hockey.

So TSN gets a pass for using NBC feeds? Also, any cup clinching game is on the main network now. Third, applauding?

If a Cup Final series is 3-0 after the first three games (like last year), then the league runs the risk of having a championship clinching game unavailable to people who can't afford cable or satellite. Some Kings fans, last year, either had to go to a bar or bootleg a stream of Game Four to see if the team can finish a sweep. They lost, and eventually won the cup in six, when the game was broadcast on national (the main) NBC.

Yeah, they changed that. Games 2 and 3 are on NBCSN. The rest on NBC.

When was this? I never heard about this switch that they made.

God, Boston, don't do this if you are just going to blow it on some in OT. If you are going to do this, DO IT.

What would be a worse choke job?

Boston losing the series after being up 3-0 or Toronto losing this game after being up 4-1?

Boston wasn't up 3-0. Toronto won game 2.

Dang Boston!

Earlier this season, there was a game between the Rangers and Bruins in Boston where the B's trailed 3-0 late in the 3rd, and scored three goals, two with the net empty, to force overtime.

After Lucic made it 4-3, I'd be damned if I wasn't having flashbacks to that game.
