I agree too but the Caps are now out of it and the Islanders had a great year -- with Barry Trotz the common denominator.
Because of this excellent year by the Isles I was cheering for a Caps win now, and advances by the Maple Leafs, so that the fan-talk would be Trotz vs. Caps and the Isles vs. John Taveres.
Would anyone have thought the Isles would sweep in Round One with both the Caps and Leafs losing?
Even smaller upsets like this is why the NHL playoffs are the best, most exciting and unpredictable in all sports.
