The race for the Stanley Cup is in full swing. The first couple games of the Stanley Cup Playoffs have been very exciting. There are a couple of big shockers in this first round. The Flyers are up on the Penguins 3-0 in the series. The goalie play from the Pens has been horrific. This has been a very physical series with lots of fights and ejections. In the Western Conference, things have been very crazy. The Canucks are down 2-0 to the LA Kings. The Canucks came into the Playoffs with the best record in the league. They are really missing the play of Daniel Sedin. The Nashville Predators are up on the Red Wings 2-1. they got their first ever Playoff win at the Red Wings' Joe Louis Arena. The Rangers are in a battle with the Ottawa Senators. The series is tied at one apiece. The Capitals and Bruins have gone to Overtime twice. The series is also tied 1-1. The Devils are ahead in their series against the Panthers 1-0. The most interesting series, to me, has been the Coyotes/Blackhawks series. Chicago has had a goal in the last 15 seconds to send it to OT in both games. The Coyotes pulled out a victory in Game 1, but Chicago came out on top in the second meeting. Hopefully, the next few rounds will be as exciting as the last couple days.
