Good point on the Islanders. It just felt like Penguins were the favourites personally.
Flames are out, which truly sucks. But these type of playoff upsets do help the sport and also puts the focus back on "parity". If Columbus or the Stars can make some noise, it shows teams that making changes or additions on trade deadline day can be beneficial.
