The quarter finals are done! Here are the results:

Western Conference

Chicago won their series against Vancouver I’m sad for the Canucks but I am glad it was against the Blackhawks.

Detroit finally got their heads out of their butts and showed the Ducks how they got to be world champions and won their series.

So the Western Conference finals (Stanley Cup championship semi-finals) will start Sunday between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings. Personally I think this will be a very good and intense series and can see it going all 7 games.

Eastern Conference

In a huge upset, Boston lost their series to Carolina.

Pittsburgh won their series against Washington.

The Eastern Conference finals will start Monday between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Pittsburgh Penguins. I don’t really see this series being all that heated and can forsee it being over pretty quick.

So the 2nd round is going along somewhat strangely so we might have a few upsets before everyone gets to the semifinals. Here are the newest results:

In the West

Detroit and Anaheim is tied at 2 games a piece. I find it sad that this is series is not already over but in Thursday night’s game Detroit showed their true colors and showed the Ducks why they are the defending champions.

Chicago is ahead of Vancouver 3 games to 2. This has proven to be a tight and entertaining series.

In the East

Penguins lead their series against Washington 3-2. Another series that I feel should be over already.

And here is the really upsetting one. Boston is behind in their series against the Carolina Hurricanes 1-3. Yes, that is right. Boston is BEHIND. What is this world coming to?

And here are some stats for the playoffs. These are the playoff leaders:

Leading Goals & Leading Points
Sidney Crosby – 9 goals / 7 assists / 16 points

Leading Goalie
Roberto Luongo – Sv% .935 Way to go Roberto!
