Assuming Caps beat Blue Jackets and Bruins beat Leafs.
Was going to post the same. I have been watching this game for a long time and I cannot remember a year where 7 favourites and a coin toss made it to round two.

As chummer said, round two should be epic. I am really looking forward to NAS/WPG. SJS/VGK should be great too. And then there's TBL/BOS - two fantastic teams with very different games.

I am hoping WAS moves on, just to get another PIT/WAS battle.

Usually my interest starts to wane in the 2nd round because things become predictable. But this is going to be awesome.
