Bruins topped the sens but the Lightning lost in OT to the Hurricanes, so if Boston wins against a Barkov-less Florida tomorrow, we draw Tampa Bay for round 1.
Here's at least one Cup prognostication that has the Leafs likeliest to make it to round 3 in their bracket.

Babcock post-game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt8ipbG7Gy8
In case you thought he was blind, Mike Babcock publicly recognized current-scratch Andreas Johnsson as the catalyst for the Matthews-Nylander PP unit developing confidence recently, because he's a real gud man in the middle.
Here is my other favourite remark:

I think a lot of these long term contracts to guys who are nearing the end of there effective capacity are going to go away. I would never pay JVR more than 7 per for a 3 year deal with option for 4th. As Miller said at the end of Private Ryan: "Earn this". These guys are getting older, younger with the speed of the game, so why tie yourself into bad deals forever?Zee said:That last goal on Price was bueno. Summed up the entire mess of a season for them. 8 years, $84 million coming up!hockeyfan1 said:Zee said:

Because it becomes a bidding war on an open market. If you offer JVR 7 for 3 years, and someone else comes along and says well we'll offer you 7 for 6 years, which deal is he taking? Also, you can't have option years anymore because of the cap.
I do think that you'll see things shift a little bit, as teams lock up good young players for full length term as they are coming out of their ELC, which means that the actual UFA's at 27-28 may start to dwindle and you'll see more guys hit UFA at 29-30, which may change the expectation on those types of contract. We'll have to see where the trends go.
