The big thing is, getting this thread back on topic, I'm surprised how one sided this series has been. I guess the quality of the Pens goaltending has really been shown. And the fact that they aren't the most defensive of teams compounds this problem.
Makes me wonder if either of the western teams even has a chance against the Bruins. On the other hand, they did nearly get beat by Toronto, and the two western teams are hardly slouches.
The NHL really lucked out having such an incredible playoffs this year. I know I wasn't very interested. While admittedly the poor performance of the Flames had the most to do with that, the lockout did have a significant part to do with that, and I know many people, Flames fans and otherwise were feeling the same going into the playoffs.

Wholeheartedly agree. I started watching the Pens because of Iggy, but everyone seems to agree he's a small part of what's happening now.
The series itself is worth talking about and it's much more than Iggy. Also, it's much more interesting.
