FLA 3 TBL 1 Mike - FLA (6) Dale TBL (7)
Florida carrying play - 3 FLA wins were tight games
Will Lightning go out this easy?
BOS 3 TOR 1 Mike TOR (7) Dale TOR (6)
PP Goals Bruins - 6 Leafs 1
5v5 Leafs have better stats - Shots 92-76, xGF 54%
Leafs were 2nd in Goals scored in reg season - 3.69/G
Leafs have to bounce back - don’t they? If not, is Keefe gone? What players?
CAR 3 NYI 1 Mike CAR (5) Dale NYI (4)
Carolina better stats but every game very tight - all one goal games if take away empty net goals
Hearing Brindamour in trouble if Hurricanes don’t have a big playoff
NYR 3 WAS 0 Mike NYR (4) Dale WSH (7)
Results not surprising but stats a bit surprising
WAS outshooting, out chancing at 5v5
NYR - 2 SH Goals
Game 2 - 4 PP goals and 1 SH
VGK 2 DAL 1 Mike DAL (5) Dale DAL (5)
Dallas been much better stats-wise. Out scoring at 5v5 6-4 but down in series.
Should be able to come back
EDM 2 LAK 1 Mike EDM (6) Dale EDM (7)
Edmonton have been better team but let foot off gas in game 2.
Relying too heavily on Power Play
COL 2 WPG 1 Mike WPG (7) Dale WPG (6)
Hellebuyck hasn’t been stellar - 15G in 3 games
Avs taking it to them stats wise - unless Hellebuyck can turn it around, Jets will go out quickly

Very tight series - Canucks scraping by - can they survive wiithout Demko?
