Big guy J. Abdul Khad'r with cross-checks from behind onto his goalie.
 
He's their Marchand with much less skill.

Don't like the idea of that coming out of the zone. You got 4 guys on 2, you can't expect the guys to sit there.

California. Duh.
Marchand actually did a good job avoiding Howard there, then ended up in the net after getting hit in the back of the head.

I hate that rule for that very reason.

Smiling Zdeno Chara is fucking scary
 
 
This, very this. He's always scary, but for some reason when he has the evil grin on his face he goes from sort of goofy to "OH MY GOD A SEVEN FOOT AXE MURDERER WHO HAS NO REGARD FOR LIFE" instantly.

Smith egging Chara on with hand gestures while skating backwards was hilarious.
 
Love Emrick's comment about Smith thinking "I hope the linesmen arrive".

Nice elbow in the back by Franzen.
Yeah I saw that in real time, and couldn't believe it didn't get called...that was directly between the numbers and he came from half way across the ice.

Smith can't even reach Chara.
 
When Chara half-heartedly grabbed him by the collar, Smith's head shook around like a sleeping infant in a car on a rough road.

Epic fight by the 3rd Smith brother against a guy about a foot taller than him:
