commentary...

Red Wings will play the Boston Bruins,as the eighth seed,in the Eastern Conference... Boston won the (almost dreaded-if you know the history of that trophy over the years) President's Trophy,this season... the President's Trophy goes to the team with the best regular season record,and that team gets home ice through the Stanley Cup playoffs,but honestly,the list of teams who have won the trophy,and have been knocked off the year they won the trophy is a who's who of great regular season teams,only to flop in the playoffs,so who knows???
