After four days of action in the Stanley Cup playoffs four teams have a 2-0 series lead and three series are tied at 1. One game is in progress.
In the Eastern Conference, the Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens have a 2-0 series lead, while the Pittsburgh-Tampa Bay and Philadelphia-Buffalo series is tied at 1-1.
In the West, the Vancouver Canucks and Detroit Red Wings hold 2-0 leads. The Anaheim-Nashville series is tied at 1-1.
With 12:20 and counting in the third period, the Los Angeles King are on the verge of tying their series with the San Jose Sharks, as they hold a 4-0 lead.
The Canucks look to be the strongest team in the West in terms of their play so far. Roberto Luongo has been stellar in goal, and the defense is playing well against a high octane offense in Chicago.
The Canadiens have played very well in their first two games against Boston, and are on a mission to get back to the Cup finals.
The next week should be exciting. I see a seven-game series between Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh. The others should go six or less.
You mean the Wings look to be the strongest team in the west. With no zetterberg. Wings scored 8 times in two games. Vancouver only 6 times. and they both won the two games by the same margin. the canucks are going to lose tonight!
ReplyDeleteI believe the Red Wings have played well, although they didn't have the best performance in Game 2. Too many dumb penalties. They have an excellent PK, but sooner or later someone will score. I see a potential Wings-Canucks matchup in the conference finals. Vancouver won tonight. Just saying.
