It is insane that Boston lost in the first round. Not happy about it for several reasons. First, lets be honest it completely invalidates the NHL regular season. If they didnt win the cup that is fine, but to lose in the first round against Florida, really what does the regular season even matter and that just kind of rubs me the wrong way.
Second, this just opens up a MUCH easier path for the Rags/Devils and Leafs to the cup finals and now I am legit worried about this scenario.
My preseason tip was Dallas vs. Carolina for the Cup.
If Florida kept playing like this they could beat anyone but I always find that after crazy upsets like this, the team usually reverts back to its normal level of play for some reason.
Lastly, with Boston out there is not a single team left in the East that I do not think we could have beaten if we are at our best. Makes the loss that much more heartbreaking.
Well, Carolina...
