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

Pretty uninteresting night, really, in both playoffs.

Home teams prevail by a combined 6-1 margin. San Jose never really mounted a threat because they could never get one past Quick.

And so now we move on to Detroit vs. Chicago for tomorrow. I'm wagering this thread gets a bit more action tomorrow night.

Sat next to a jerseyed person asking "how many quarters are there?" and "what's the blue line for?" …

[Still MIGHTY]

Gotta assume (or hope, definitely hope) he was just borrowing a jersey for the game...

Although the real question for this internet demographic is:

Was the jersey a fake?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a Purple & Gold Gretsky.

Normally, if a picture has Joe Micheletti in it, you expect him to be the worst part of it.

Damn. What would compel NBC to think that Micheletti is a better inside the glass guy than Daryl Reaugh? Razor is one of the best analysts in the biz. Joe? Not so much.

Jersey fouls to:

- SCF patch on any jersey with purple, or a 2012 patch on a 1993 jersey

- Modern players in forum blue and gold, aside from the Edge throwback

- SCC patch on anything

- The old 1's on the current jerseys

- All the god damn blue counterfeits

Ugh, I hate that pizza.*

*not because of the cool Bruins logo, but I just absolutely hate any pizza with either pineapple or olives

So how do you feel about 50/60-year-olds stitching past and current patches on their 1990s Starter jackets? I've seen a lot of those from older Kings fans.

This dude probably doesn't even know who Luc Robitaille is. Just grabbed any purple Kings sweater and put the SCC patch on it.

Where did you find that? I'd love to have that pizza!

Wow, Quick was once again a puck stopping machine last night. Sharks played well, Quick just said no. ugh. Didn't catch all of the Ottawa/Pittsburgh game, but looked like Pittsburgh was in control most of the way. Anyway here's the updated bracket:

Oh please, Bob Cole, please tell me the story of the two zeroes again.

I counted him telling the score 5 times before Hossa scored.
