We’re finally in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and it looks to be a great set of series featuring the best teams in the league.
Florida vs. Boston
New York vs. Carolina
Dallas vs. Colorado
Vancouver vs. Edmonton
In a bit of good news, the remaining field includes the top 6 of Burkus’s bandwagon rankings. The lowest remaining is #13 Boston, but at least it resulted in another delicious serving of Leafs fan schadenfreude.
Old Friends
In former Blue Jackets news, everyone hates Pierre-Luc Dubois after he was a nonfactor for the Kings, whereas local boy Jack Roslovic has 5 points in 5 games, including an assist in Game 1 of the second round against the Hurricanes.

Here are the updated rankings:
#1 Pale Dragon 88 points
#2 devilpenny 82
#2 JoeZipp 82
#4 CBJinfour 79
#4 Maria327 79
#4 AKBax 79
All but 2 of the 27 entries still have their champion pick remaining, so a lot can change over the next 3 rounds. It’s still anyone’s game!
Calder Cup update
In another playoff, our beloved Cleveland Monsters evened up their series against the Belleville Senators on Friday, and need to win 2 of 3 at home to advance.
