I wonder when the last time that happened. It seems in the Salary Cap era, 3-0 series leads no matter what round are hard to come by.

Seemed pretty clear to meI almost had a stroke reading that.

And all 3-0 series leads are in the east, yet allegedly its the west that is weak lol
It's all of the US vs US based matchups that are the trio of 3-0 and 1 2-0 leads.And all 3-0 series leads are in the east, yet allegedly its the west that is weak lol
A lot of pretenders akin to a normal NBA first round, only shocking one has been Tampa and I don't think they've played poorly, more like that the Panthers are on a mission.
The second round is looking to be one of the best we've had in ages though; Panthers vs Bruins/Leafs and Rangers vs Hurricanes. Smooth.
Exiting as in teams are exiting the playoffs quicklyThis year is so exiting!
I am not anti Islanders, but they were always up against it when you consider how wicked this Carolina team is. Islanders have made it close at times from what I've seen, but some periods they are still getting heavily outshot and that is a recipe for losing.I haven't watch every single period of the series, but the three Hurricanes vs. Islanders games have been all been pretty close, so I've gathered.

Still have Dallas in 3Likely to be another one when Vegas wins tomorrow.....
Exactly. And honestly watching Capitals and Islanders they don't really appear as competing hard. They do what they need to do but not much on top of it.Exiting as in teams are exiting the playoffs quickly
Carolina is up 3-0. I don't think there is anything admirable about that for the Islanders but to each their own.Indeed it is. I think they're doing rather admirably for how outmatched they are.
Doesn't matter. A win is a winGames have been way closer than the 3-0 scores indicate.
i dont think anyone would argue that the east had depth this year. there was a clear top 6 in the east and the rest was garbage. tampa being down 3-0 is surprising though.And all 3-0 series leads are in the east, yet allegedly its the west that is weak lol
Only game 2 with TBHave there been any OT games at all?
