2013 Stanley Cup Anti-Previews: Round 2

The first round is behind us in the sense that it was yesterday and the second round in before us in the sense that it is already going on as I type this summary. Despite the impossible timelines I am proud to bring you my analysis of the second round.

Eastern Conference

#1 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #7 Ottawa Senators

This is an interesting matchup because the Penguins struggled to overcome the mighty New York Islanders and newly revealed superhero John Tavares. Meanwhile the Senators managed to stop being incredibly boring in the wake of the Habs descent into villainy. The Pens will have to show that they can overcome another mediocre team without their absurd egos popping and getting Lemieux-goo all over the shitty parts of Pennsylvania.

This collection of punk musicians sharing how the Descendents & ALL influenced them comes by way of filmmaker Chip Guthrie. Chip is a longtime friend of the Descendents/ALL crew and is a partner in Wounded Heart Press, a screen-printing business, with ALL singer Chad Price.  In the mid-90s, with various punk bands finding mainstream success, he started gathering footage for a documentary(working title was ‘ALLUMENTARY’) on the two bands. Unfortunately, the project had to be shelved and the footage has been sitting unused for years. UNTIL NOW...when he uploaded it to youtube.

MCA In The House

On May 4th, 2012, the world lost a great man.  The death of Adam Yauch reached far beyond the 5 boroughs of New York City, but today the city that raised him, commemorated him in the most fitting way possible.

2013 Stanley Cup Anti-Previews: Round 1

Wow, not only was I surprised by the regular season being over so quickly, I was also shocked when I read that the post-season started on the 30th of April. I never pre-write so in the span of less than 24 hours I managed to assemble a quick and gritty guide to the first round of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs. No pictures or graphics in this one, but everything that matters is here.

Eastern Conference 

#1 Pittsburgh Penguins vs #8 New York Islanders

Thing could not have gone better for the Islanders as they will square off against the Penguins in their first post season appearance in franchise history. The Penguins are backstopped by noted swearing enthusiast and occasional playoff caliber goaltender Marc-Andre Fluery while the Islanders feature a goalie tandem that likely commutes to Uniondale everyday.
