St Louis stole one in Boston (Also first ever finals win for them despite being in the finals three times, expansion was a weird time)
-
Assuming Boston takes it

Damnnnn, Shark's got away with one in Game 3

Taking Boston and San Jose to make the finals. I'm pretty comfortable with Boston winning against Carolina, unless this is a huge coming out party for Aho and Teravainen and/or the ghost of the Hartford Whalers strikes. San Jose I think them being to the finals before and beating St Louis in this exact position a few years ago (without Karlsson) shows that they should probably beat St Louis, though Binnington being a surprise monster goalie does give me a bit of pause.

Suuuuucks @Eizan

I don't have much hope of Carolina beating them, but maybe they prove me wrong
-
Carolina Hurricanes kind of make me mad tbh Since 2002, 17 seasons, the Canes have only made the playoffs four times, including this season. However, they've made the conference finals all four times, also including this season (Not too mad tho, Rob Brind'Amour partly grew up in my town)

Just had a quick look. It almost happened in 1982 and 1986 but both Cup winners that year won their divisions (Islanders and Gretzky Oilers) When the NHL was a 6-divison league, 1998 and 2013 did have 4 division winners lose, but #1 seeds made it out of the first round in both cases.

Sharks or Bruins gotta be the favourites just from the combination of finals experience and being the two top seeded teams left. Though, all the Cental Division teams are probably better than their records indicate because they had to play each other a lot all year and it looks like there's a lot of high level talent on all of three of them. I guess the Islanders are a top-seeded team too (at least by record), but that roster doesn't look like a 103 point team, so I'm assuming it's Barry Trotz being a really good lesser-team coach, and the only time he got past the second round/won the cup was with an all-time great in Ovechkin on the roster, and the Islanders have no one remotely close to being a star player on it. Whoever comes out of NYI/CAR is getting the conference finals as a gift because I think Boston or Columbus would beat both of them if they were matched up that way.

>St Louis >Colorado >Dallas leading their series Just need the Red Wings and it's every year of the early/mid '00s all over again
-
Anyone but the Leafs
-
First time ever that both #8 seeds (or in this case, both second wild cards) beat both #1 seeds (or in this case, both conference champions) in the same playoff year.
-
Central Division is brutal. Central bracket both tied after Game 4s and Colorado wiping the floor with Calgary in the Pacific bracket.
-
Maybe he was the problem? (How tf are the Islanders even here? Just looked at their roster and there's nothing special going on there )

Was legit wondering if Tampa was setting themselves up for an upset. Badass regular seasons put teams to sleep and then they can't gear back up when they play against a team that's been playing for their lives for months. Tortorella being Columbus' coach and knocking off Tampa would sure be some shit too. Pittsburgh potentially getting swept seems a little surprising too. With hindsight, probably shoulda kept Fleury
