This year’s NHL playoffs have been strange from the get go so it’s only fitting that the Hurricanes knocked out the defending Stanley Cup champions in the opening round. As a result of yet another shocking defeat, hockey fans were pretty stunned about the final outcome.

It’s been a strange playoffs so far and we’re only through the first round.

However, you play the games for a reason and nothing is ever guaranteed. Especially in the Stanley Cup playoffs.



Hopefully Round 2 is even more exciting.



Who do ya got?
