Second round bound!

The first round of the playoffs are over. The second round is about to begin.

After two different, nail-biting game sevens concluded tonight, with the Capitals beating New York and Carolina scoring two goals in final 1:22 to finish off New Jersey, the second round matchups have been finalized.

In the West, the second seed Detroit Red Wings will take on the surprising eight seed Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks just beat out the top seeded, President's Trophy winning San Jose Sharks. The third seeded Vancouver Canucks play host to the four seed Chicago Blackhawks.

Out East, the now top team in the playoffs, the Boston Bruins, will take on the Carolina Hurricanes. The second seed Capitals, fresh off a series comeback against the Rangers, reignite their rivalry with the four seed Pittsburgh Penguins.

Stay tuned for playoff previews and predictions, as while as some other interesting notes.
