I challenge you to one of the games tonight, then watch the Habs-Jets game tomorrow. It's hard to believe it's even the same level of play.
Did you watch the Leafs-Habs game 7? It was like junior hockey when compared to the Islanders-Boston game. By the way, NY and Boston are the worst Americans teams that are still in.

While I would agree that the pace of play and overall skill level in the remaining US teams looks a lot higher, I would not be surprised at all to see a competitive series once a North team faces one of them.
Look at any Olympics where a super team like Canada faces a Belarus in a quarterfinal and it ends up being a close fought game. Bring in a hot goalie and thats a game changer as well. I kinda doubt we see MTL or WPG get ragdolled in the next round.
