Not going to happen even if caps and Florida win their respective series. Teams get re-seeded after the first round so division winners don't get to necessarily keep their seed.
Not true at all. A 1/2/3 seed is that same seed up to and including the conference final.
As another positive, there is zero chance of Marchand taking one of our guys out at the knees, or Lucic blasting Anderson, since we aren't playing the Bruins. The Rangers are much less dirty than Boston, so we're less likely to see a Sens player getting injured.
That's number 4, IMO.
Bruins aren't a dirty team. Just physical team.
You could be in for a surprise when you see Callahan and crew.
The thing with finishing 8th in the East is that we're matched with the Rags, we can beat them, unlike Boston which just dominated us all reg season long.
Not really related to finishing 8th, but now that the reg. season is over we quietly gained almost 2.4 million in cap space. The buyouts of Alfie, Cheecho & Emery are finally off the books.
