Rangers Vs Penguins In Round Two

The Flyers just won their series against the Caps in overtime of Game 7, sending the Rangers on the road to Pittsburgh sometime later this week. Montreal will host the Flyers when their series starts.

I wasn't feeling particularly good about the Rangers' chances against either the # 1 or # 2 seeds in the second round, but unfortunately once Boston was eliminated, they had to play one of them next. I guess one's as good - or bad - as the other, in that sense.

Congrats to the Capitals for making such a great run at the end of the regular season, and for pushing Philadelphia right to the very edge of elimination in Round One. It'll be interesting to see what that franchise is like next year.

The Western Conference matchups are still to be determined, as Game 7 between Calgary and San Jose is just getting underway on the West Coast. Detroit will play a C-team (Colorado or Calgary), Colorado will draw one of the D-teams (Detroit or Dallas) and Dallas will face either the Sharks or Avalanche.
