Upsets are great but they don't have to make it easier for the bottom teams to make it, what's the point of the regular season?
Dallas vs. Edmonton in the first round, damn. That would have been great. Rantanen would have had a field day with that defense. Dallas wouldn't have let the oilers of the mat with all those mistakes by LA- probably finished them in 5.
