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

Do you know the way to the établissement psychiatrique?

There is a rotting deer carcass on the highway that showed more life than the Rangers did tonight.

My teams are the Mets, Jets, and Rangers. The saddest part is that I don't know which is the most offensively inept.

Mmkay... Haven't the Sharks have played better after Raffi was benched?? If I'm a SJ fan, I'm elated that he's finished for the series.

Thanks for playing participating in this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs, Rangers. We have some lovely parting gifts.

Free Raffi? I'll take it!

Los Angeles is trying a fascinating theory; trying to win games without shooting the puck on net.

I think it's failing.

It worked in Game 3 in 2010 for the Avalanche.

That was because, evidently, the only team that could slip the puck past Nabokov was the Sharks. That...was the joke. Nevermind.

Boom. 2-0 San Jose, on yet another power play goal.

Was that the game where Dan Boyle scored the game winning goal on his own team?

Yeah, which is why I referenced that game.

What they're trying to do is to heavily rely on winning at home in Games 5 and 7. So their attitude is more like "ah, let's just tank this game so that we can prep for our home crowd, there's no carryover from losing this one."

Idiots.

[Kramerica Industries]

This is an epically bad call.

Just realized this "most rec'd" comment on that page:

Even though the Avs lost the series 4-2, they definitely got passing marks in their first year of the post Joe Sakic era. They're only going to get better as they continue gaining experience.

[ninersdd]

Damn Sharks so lucky there. It should be 2-1. Big goof by the refs there.

Interesting, the Kings tweeted that Kopitar got "sexually assaulted" in front of Niemi.

In fairness, Anze Kopitar does exhibit a face that seems to have two permanent black eyes.

As an asides - Kopitar is ONLY 25 years old? Are you kidding me? Dude's been around forever.

Eh, seems overpriced.

Also, here's why you don't let a two-decades-past-relevant wacky morning DJ guest-host your team's official Twitter account for a period:

He deleted that tweet, but the rest remain, a loving testament to a guy who's really not funny at all.

The only "sexual assaulting" being done is on Jonathan Quick by the Sharks power play.

Somebody just lost their job. Look for LA's twitter account to become among the league's most sterile.
