But yeah that was a really uncomfortable 1-0 for the Bruins after how much they controlled it early.

Last time I came in first place after round 1, I got all four round 2 picks wrong.

Same here. I had a perfect round one a few years ago. I think 2015? Not sure. Then got zero in the second round. Didn't come close in the final standings lol

All 3 teams that won their series quickly lost game 1 to teams that just went 7. I wouldn't say it's an atypical result.

That third period was interesting though. For the majority of the period, the Islanders looked like a team that's *done* already, not like a team that breezed through round 1.

Wonder if this team's at it's limit.

Toronto was the only bad option

Also since the Islanders are probably getting swept (they're lucky that didn't end 4-1 or worse with the dozen or so turnovers they had in front of their own net) do we start laughing at the Pens yet because that's usually fun to do.

Yes, Islanders are definitely getting swept. When's the last time a team won the first two games of a series and didn't sweep? Or even worse, and didn't win the series? It's probably been years

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm, but I will go ahead and point out we did against Washington last season.

I've watched more than half of Carolina's games, and even though they keep winning, I'm always mildly confused what they're even doing in the playoffs.

I'm also not trying to be argumentative the Leafs are my team I'd kill for a cup. I dont hve the same faith in the Avs as I do in CBJ or even the Canes right now at this point in the playoffs.

If those Hurricanes injuries from today last a while, they could very easily see this series turn around on them.

Going down the list, here's what I'm seeing:
Van Riemsdyk: Probably out the rest of the series
Maenalanen: Out the rest of the series
Martinook: DTD, sounds like he won't be 100% until the offseason
Svechnikov: DTD
Ferland: DTD
Mrazek: DTD

Honestly, besides Mrazek, none of these guys were like, super duper important production wise. Svech and Ferland were around the 40 pt range, so you like to have them, I would def want them back next game, but they made it this far in this postseason pretty much without both. Mae, VR, and Marti are just bodies.

First round:
-The higher seed won every series
-6 of the 8 series were over in 4 or 5 games (1 in 6, 1 in 7)

...and I just laughed when thinking about the NHL first round. Just so ridiculous.
