You should read the Blackhawks board. "Blow up the team"; "Fire Q"; "Fire Bowman"; "Team is too soft"; "Kane is one-dimensional"; "Hossa should retire"; "Keith sucks"; "Toews is the most overrated player in the NHL", etc, etc. Basically, replace the names and it's just like our message board these last few seasons. But I'm not counting out the 'hawks just yet. I remember when Detroit had them down 3-1. 3-0 is a little different, and Chicago is older now, but I want Nash to end this series in 4 and not even give Chicago any hope.

Boooo! I blame elvafeng the baseball spambot!

Black Hawks go down 3-0 in the series. Where have I seen this before? Not going to celebrate yet, but I sure have a big smirk on my face.

I hate the Leafs but you cant say they are boring to watch. Its amazing what a good coach and youth can do.

I know a lot of people HATED this pick in 2015, but I think we have a top four Dman here. Watched last nights Missasauga/Oshawa game online. Vili is smaller...but he doesn't stand out as being tiny. What stands out is his skating and passing and the way he QB's the power play. Defensively he's not very physical..but he's really quick with the stick and he handles th puck well coming out of his end. the announce crew from Oshawa called him "dynamic" and a "steal" in the draft. He maybe isn't Nik...but he's got Rafalski level upside for sure. Looking forward to seeing what he can do in GR next season. That Missasauga team has some serious skill. Owen Tippett is an elite scorer...he made an inside/out move that was highlight reel stuff and he plays with a nasty streak. DMan Nick Hague skates very well for a 6-5" 18 year old. Doesn't have a real physical edge to his game...he let a guy carrying slip past him along the boards instead of rubbing him off the puck. Buy I don't know if that was just a mistake or a sign of an issue. Could live with having both and nothing else from this year's draft

Chicago loses again. Great morning everyone!

Get your brooms ready! Back to back first round exits would be fantastic the Hawks lack of depth certainly showed late in that game. Remember that time the preds got Filip Forsberg for Martin Erat and Michael Latta?

I'm finding it ironic that I used to only cheer the Preds on because loved Tootoo. Now I'm rooting them on because they're playing a team I hate, of which Tootoo is a member. Go Preds.

Easter Sunday (as a Christian holiday, which is what I'm assuming you're asking about) bunnies, and eggs are all related to new life. Eggs because (if fertilized) they're baby animals, bunnies because they produce a lot of offspring, and the Resurrection because it's the promise of eternal life. All are celebrated in the spring since that's when the world comes alive again after winter. The older holidays, from which we get the eggs and bunnies, were celebrated at the Vernal Equinox, or at least around the time when the snow left and life started "springing" forth. Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox in order to keep it in line with Passover, which is celebrated by the Jewish people according to their lunar calendar, and plays a big part in whole pre-story of Easter. We celebrate them all together now since many of the older cultures who previously celebrated the Spring festivals also celebrate Easter and the traditions carried over and mingled.

exactly

Elvafeng knows his blue jays dude. Unfortunately hes lacking in the cute animal gif department which is sadly why his threads were closed.

No

WOMP WOMP. Good game by the leafs

ewww... so descriptive I could even smell it

Yep, they'll have to beat the best in the league in order to face Edmonton, and sadly lose, at the STankley Cup Final

what a play by Holtby!

Goals since April 9: Riley Sheahan - 2 Chicago Blackhawks - 0

Highlights that hockey players are the toughest. Meanwhile LeBron James has to be carried off the court because he had a cramp.

And the Ducks bring back these jerseys. I'll watch that series for sure.

That would be great.

totally. This series has 2 of the worst Uniforms around the league...
