East: Round 1 Wrap, Round 2 Predictions
Washington started to live up to expectations and crushed the mediocre Rangers, who overperformed their skill level.
Philadelphia took advantage of the less-than-stellar appearances that Ryan Miller made, and Buffalo couldn't get it done when he wasn't there to steal the game.
Pittsburgh almost made it. Seems like they would have won with Crosby and/or Malkin.
Boston and Montreal was the best series in the East in the first round and in the top 3 overall.
(1) Washington vs. (5) Tampa Bay
Washington in 5
Tampa Bay relied on another round of Roloson acrobatics to beat the seriously depleted Pittsburgh. Washington is much better.
(2) Philadelphia vs. (3) Boston
Philadelphia in 7
If the Flyers have settled on Boucher and he's solid, they should be able to eek this one out. They've shown some grit this year.
...what this means... (1) Washington vs. (2) Philadelphia with Washington losing to Vancouver in the finals.
