2nd Round

The second round of the NHL playoffs started today. You have both 1st and 2nd seeds in there, although both third and fourth seeds have fallen.
The series of the 2nd round will be the Red Wings vs Avalanche. I mean, this is a classic NHL matchup. And you have classic players as well. Sakic, Forsberg, Lidstrom, Draper, Maltby, Hejduk…even Osgood is back in the mix.
You can’t get much better than that.
In the east, you got the Penguins looking good, along with the Canadiens. The Rangers have been surprisingly good…but they don’t stand a chance against the superstar Pens.
This is exactly what the NHL needed…great matchups, superstars. You gotta love playoff hockey.

Playoff hockey is very good. I think part of it is that so many series go to 7, and who doesnt love game 7s.
