NY beat Ottawa, 2-1, and took the series, so only the two scenarios above
remain. The Rangers play the Capitals, and Philly takes on the FLA-NJD
winner.
Halfway through the 2nd period, New Jersey lead Florida, 2-0.

I guess this is where the Caps are supposed to crash out...

what happens next, that's a remarkable turnaround they managed to achieve.
And, at this point, I'd not be willing to rule them out.

So, the New Jersey Devils beat the Florida Panthers, 3-2 in OT, and took the
last Eastern series.
With the Rangers and the Devils winning their games 7, I suppose the best
teams prevailed in these series (regardless of what our preferences might
be).
So, here are the Conference Semifinals:
East
New York Rangers x Washington Capitals
Philadelphia Flyers x New Jersey Devils
West
Saint Louis Blues x Los Angeles Kings
Phoenix Coyotes x Nashville Predators
Time to complete our round 2 picks. Good luck to all!

OK, but I'd still be surprised if they beat the Rangers. Although, I

But of course it's precisely those teams they'll need to beat eventually if
they are going to win the Cup.
On paper, the Rangers are the best team, but I honestly believe this is a
great opportunity for the Caps. They are the one with little to lose.
The pressure should be on the Rangers, who not only were the #1 seed, but
also have to be encouraged by a relatively open field in these playoffs. We
all know that this doesn't necessarily mean a lot, but the Penguins have
crashed, and the Bruins are out. Not to mention the Red Wings (and Vancouver
to a lesser extent) in the West. Those were Stanley Cup-seasoned sides.
I'd have to take a deeper look, but I don't think any of the 8 remaining
rosters have a lot of Stanley Cup experience? Surely you have dinosaurs like
Jagr and Brodeur out there, but is there any remaining team with 3 or more
Stanley Cup rings in their roster?
[Of course I'm not making little of the remainining teams' quality. These
are good teams that deserve to be there. It's just the Cup experience aspect
I'm thinking about here.]

and New York players. They have to meet in the finals, right? I
assume the Phoenix v Nashville series will be low scoring? Is Bordeur
too old and slow, or is this going to be his last hurrah? Too many
questions and I have no idea what the answers are?????? It is not like
picking da Bayerns, who you know will win each game by 20 or more
goals.
