The second round looked like it was going to be a disappointment, until the teams with big series leads seemed unable to close things out. Each one eventually survived, with the exception of Vancouver, who couldn’t clinch on the road on Saturday. They have had 3 leads in the series, with Edmonton evening it up each time. Game 7 is tonight at at 9:00 PM EDT and should be another banger.
The winner of that series will be the road team against Western Conference #1 Dallas, while the Eastern Conference finals will begin on Wednesday as the New York Rangers host Florida.
