The Stanley Cup Playoffs are now in full swing as 1st round matchups reach the pivotal games. Some series have gone exactly how you would expect them to (looking at you, Colorado and Nashville), while others have certainly raised a few eyebrows (*glances in the direction of Calgary/Dallas, Washington/Florida*).
You can find endless amounts of analysis series-by-series from countless experts, analysts, or even just fans, but we’ve decided to truly nutshell each team’s playoff experience so far.
…Right down to one sentence apiece.
