I feel like the Pens could still make it pretty far without Letang but it's asking a lot to have to beat Columbus and Washington. If they somehow got by those series they'd probably have half the roster in body bags.

Calgary-Edmonton would've started at 8 PM too, because the NHL wants to force teams to either play at 5 PM or 8 PM in the playoffs whenever possible even though it sucks for the CST/MST fans.

Honestly, you should be hopeful. The Flames are pretty much the best match-up the Ducks could have asked for, given the Ducks dominance over the Flames over the past few seasons, especially at home. Providing there isn't some serious injuries the Ducks should have an easy time getting to the second round.

I think the Leafs prevent the sweep but I don't see them making it more than 5 games which is 5 more than I expected them to have at this point.
