NHL Playoffs Continued

In my last blog I listed the NHL teams that made the playoffs. The teams were;

LA Kings

Vancouver Canucks 

San Jose Sharks

St. Louis Blues

Chicago Blackhawks 

Phenix Coyotes 

Detroit Red Wings

Ottawa Senators 

New York Rangers

Washington Capitals 

Boston Bruins 

New Jersey Devils 

Florida Panthers

Philadelphia Flyers 

Pittsburgh Penguins 

The players of these teams played VERY well! With setting new records multiple times. Some of the new records include most goals scored in a series, Closest series (every game was within one goal , and series was a 4-3 series).

The teams listed above gave great shows, with many upsets along the way. The L.A Kings ( 8th place in the normal season ) beat out the Vancouver Canucks ( 1st place in the normal season ). The New York Rangers eat out the cup defenders from last year, the Boston Bruins. Even though there were many upsets, all the teams played VERY WELL!

The teams left in the playoffs after the first round are;

LA Kings

St.Louis Blues

Nashville Predators 

Phoenix Coyotes

Washington Capitals

New York Rangers

New Jersey Devils

Philadelphia Flyers 

These teams i'm sure will continue to amaze as the playoffs go on, But without any Canadian teams left, it is hard to decide which team to cheer for. Although there are no canadian teams, i'm sure the Cup will still spend most of its time within Canada, as most of the players for the teams listed above are Canadian.

Again, here is the link for the NHL Playoff standings;
