I just think that the hockey playoffs are a crapshoot and no matter how good a team looks, they could easily lose in the 1st round and who ever looks awful and sneaks in could make a run.
This isn't the NBA where the 8th seed will get torched by the Heat in 4 straight automatically and then it's a Heat coronation to the finals. In the NHL all first round series are insanely competitive.
