Will Round 3 of NHL Playoffs Be More Exciting??

Hate to tell you I told you so, but I told you so.  The 1st round of the NHL Playoffs was unbelievably exciting.  Multiple Game 7's, plenty of overtime games.  Round 2 exciting??  Not so much.

One series down and the other 3 on the verge of being closed out has hardly made for the excitement we saw in round 1.  In fact, we could actually have 3 four game sweeps if Boston and San Jose win Game 4.

Round 3 could be better.  If the teams that are leading currently advance, the matchups would be:  Tampa Bay-Boston and San Jose-Vancouver.  Both series could be very interesting.  San Jose-Vancouver would pit two Western powers who have similar styles.  Only problem will be the late game starts.  Tampa Bay-Boston will be extremely interesting as Tampa's skill players match-up against Zdeno Chara and company. 

Round 3 predictions ahead.  Stay tuned.
