Round 1: Blues (C2) vs. Blackhawks (C3)

[cabber24]

For some reason, I'm thrilled to see the Blackhawks bounced.  Good riddance.

I think most non-Hawks fans are. Chicago and LA have won 5 of the last 6 Cups, both are out.

Chicago sucked for a long time I like to fantasize about the Leafs raising out of the ashes like Chicago and becoming an annual contender. It can happen, Chicago did it. I love the makeup of Chicago and the chemistry and will they have. Every team strives to get where their at. Congratulations to STL, a great series and a great win.

Well, we're going to have a new Cup champion.

Good, I'm sick of the Blackhawks.

I've sort of made my peace with the fact that they're going to give Kane the Hart, I'm glad that's not compounded by the cup.

Hear hear.

I'm fully on board with the comparisons to Kane but I really hope for my own sanity that Marner somehow -- outgrows them, for lack of a better word.

Marner's comparisons to Kane start and end with his size, ability to avoid being hit and his scoring ability.  Marner doesn't go around London punching cabbies.

Not going to quote it here as the diction is hilariously colourful, but it's good to see playoff hockey generating some new fans of the game.

I saw this last night as he was tweeting. Was around 2k followers at that time. Now he's almost at 14k. Hockey Twitter man.

His confusion about pulling the goalie was also great, unfortunately can't share that one here.

For what appears to be a first-time viewer, he catches on pretty quick.
