    Interesting playoff fact!

    The team that won the season series wins the playoff series 77% of the time. Now I haven't looked then all up yet, but off the top of my head didn't Washington , Ottawa , and Philly win their season series against these -200s? Think it might be worth it to play all 3 of these dogs to win the series!

    A lot of parity in the NHL. I think Pitt will win. Washington is the one to watch in my opinion.

    Philly could shock the Penguins, Washington could do the same to the Bruins, I doubt it though. But I just cant see Ottawa knocking out the Rangers.

    Last year Montreal won the season series with the bruins....and in the playoffs took them to overtime of game 7 to beat them.

    Some other interesting playoff stats :
    - #1 seeds have a 73% winning percentage in the 1st round since 1993.
    - Average hits per game increases by 15.5 hits a game in the playoffs.
    - Goals per game doesn't drop as much as people think an average of 5.51 goals per game are scored in the playoffs.
