Everyone has now officially played a Game 1 and we’re mere hours away from the second set of the second games. No need to dawdle.

Let’s get to it:

Ben asks: “Saddest possible outcomes of the first round?”

I hate when good teams don’t get deep enough into the playoffs and then end up being labeled as chokers or losers or something like that. Obviously, I’m talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche with this, but we’re maybe days away from the Florida Panthers getting this same stink on them. 

Tough to see the Avs getting bombed out at this point, but Florida probably isn’t all that comfortable right now. Also, I wonder when the Hurricanes pick up that reputation a little bit.
