The series has Trots and Ovie - there are ways the drama can be upped. Especially if it goes six or seven games.

Also, if Rangers win the series, is Dale Hunter gone? The experiment didn't work?

That will be two coaches who benched Ovie. Caps under Hunter have finished 7th and would be out in 2nd round. No improvement over Bruce - the problem clearly wasn't him.

Flyers-Devils seems like it might have the best games of the 2nd round but most series are only 1 game in so it may be too soon to tell.

2-1, now. Nashville's goals were beauts last night, too.

I was flipping between the games, and there was so much more space to move in the Nashville game vs the collapsing, shotblocking Rangers game. It was almost like Olympics vs. NHL style.

Yeah, the tension in the NY/Wash series is great but the actual hockey is less fun to watch

Indeed they were.

Not getting to watch much Nashville or Coyotes this season and hearing about how much defence first they are, it's shocked me how much more both teams have played compared to the Rangers.

Flyers-Devils has been the most enjoyable series so far, though.

Hell yeah!! Just left the game. Richards is a beast! Best game I've ever been to!

At this point, it is entirely possible that I am living in a dream world.

Holy shit! What an amazing game!

Every once in awhile a team wins the Stanley Cup that going into the playoffs no one expected to win the Stanley Cup.

The Los Angeles Kings could be that team this year.
