2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs nightly GIF recap: Hawks rocks Kings for 2-0 lead

Unlike Saturday night where both conferences opened their final series, Sunday night saw just the Western Conference in action. Playing on back-to-back nights, the Chicago Blackhawks continued to roll past the Los Angeless Kings, doubling their Game 1 margin of victory and putting the game out of reach before it was 30 minutes old.

The Hawks got to it quickly, with Viktor Stalberg's pretty pass to Andrew Shaw just 1:56 in:

Kings captain and infamous big hitter Dustin Brown hoped to shake things up by leveling Duncan Keith:

But Hawks Brent Seabrook kept his eye on the scoreboard, extending the Chicago lead to 2-0 in the final minute of the first period:

If you think the Hawks were being hard on Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick, that's nothing compared to his own defenseman:

That was Robyn Regehr coming in from the bottom of your GIF window, knocking the puck through Quick's legs for a 3-0 Chicago lead. The goal was credited to Bryan Bickell, because unlike soccer, hockey does not publicly shame its own goal perpetrators.

So here is Rob Scuderi doing one of his borderline "hip" checks that is actually more of a submarine attack:

Patrick Sharp was flipped on the hit, but stayed in the game.

The Kings eventually got on the scoreboard too, but it was too little, too late. Jeff Carter scored top shelf:

And Richards' replacement, Tyler Toffoli, used his sand wedge to score and break the Kings' power play drought:
