Wow, NYR

[Bill Brasky]

just went up 4-0 on atlanta with 13:30 left in the 2nd. this series is over.

[Philagape]

We'd play either them or the Lightning next

[Bill Brasky]

they will be up 3 games to nil after this, with game 4 in NY.

[HHURRICANE]

Don't be worried if we play the Rangers. The Thrashers are just that bad. I'm not shocked. This is the one series that I saw going the way it has.

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

We'd play either them or the Lightning next

assuming that NJ doesn't come back in the TB series then yes we would play Lightning next

1 z - BUFFALO*
5 x - PITTSBURGH

I thoroughly expected the Rangers to win that series, just not so quickly...

Assuming Buffalo takes care of their business, then I would definitely like this 2nd round.

Well of course, who wouldn't... the 3 worst possible remaining teams in the East...

[YardRat]

Never count out Jersey (even though they have had trouble against TB all year), and Ottawa is pretty much taking care of business against Pittsburgh.

[don137]

I think thw winner of Game 4 in the TB/New Jersey will win the series. I think any team that wins the first round will be tough in round 2. No easy games from here on out.

[GThirst]

I believe it is fairly obvious that Buffalo, Ottawa and NYR are moving on. Tampa has a good shot at it too. Tampa would be a great and fast series. NYR could be scary and so is Ottawa. Let those 2 teams handle each other. Tampa is the weakest of the bunch.

[SabreEleven]

I wouldn't mind the Sabres knocking out both NYC teams...that would be sweet.

[9korona]

i hope we play the lightining in the second round it would be easy to beat them cuz of their poor goaltending

[Earthquake Enyart]

If the Devils come back, we could beat all 3.

[Philagape]

It's a sweep, so we're def. not playing the Sens-Pens winner.

Devils tied their series, that sucks
