commentary...

the previous question does not need an answer,but this has been a strange year... the defending Stanley Cup champion,Boston Bruins,is in a seventh game,against Washington Capitals,on Wednesday... Detroit Red Wings,San Jose Sharks,Pittsburgh Penguins,and the President's Trophy winner,Vancouver Canucks,are all out,in the first round,and the Chicago Blackhawks,along with the New York Rangers,both face elimination games,against Phoenix Coyotes(Chicago),and the Ottawa Senators(Rangers),tomorrow... with eighth seeded Ottawa leading the New York Rangers,3-2,in games,this has been a very odd year,so far...
