Eight teams are left after 2 huge upsets in the west. The Wild came back after being down in the series 3-1 to off the Avalance in OT of game seven. The media in Denver is having a field day with it. One paper (I think it was the Rocky Mountain News) was calling for the retirement of Roy.
Vancouver also made a good effort after being down in their series 3-1 to come back and beat St Louis 4-1 in game seven. The Wild will now face Vancouver in the next round.
Toronto failed to get a win in game seven against the Flyers. To say the defence in front of Belfour was a bit lacking would be an understatement. Losing 6-1, Toronto can now try and figure out who is going to stay and who will be traded in the off season. Also, it is said Pat Quinn will no longer be allowed to be both GM and head coach by the new management of the Leafs. Personally I expect he will either take the GM position or retire. Which will leave Toronto on the market for a new head coach.
The next round will begin tonight with Tampa Bay visiting New Jersey and Anaheim in Dallas.
Even though the teams I was following are out of the playoffs, I will continue to follow the NHL on its way to the cup and into the off-season.
