Some first round thoughts...
What kind of fertilizer is Paul Mara using on his face? We're only four games into the first round and the Ranger defenseman already looks like Paul Bunyan! Perhaps Mara's head start on his playoff-beard is what tips the scale in favor of the Rangers, who knows, but they are one win away from eliminating the high-scoring Caps.
Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green were two major reasons why the Caps were favorites to move past the New York Rangers. Instead, they, along with Jose Theodore, are major factors why the Caps are facing elimination when the series return to D.C. for Game 5.

The Detroit Red Wings are up 3-0 against playoff debutants Columbus. No long trips to Disneyland must feel pretty good right about now.
Chris Osgood has been as solid as he said he would be. Big surprise!

Being eliminated and humiliated by the Boston Bruins (I just have to point out that I had the Bruins in 4), of all teams, and in the first round was probably not what the Montreal Canadiens had in mind for their big centennial year. I say they have no one but them selves to blame for it. The whole centennial circus has gotten way out of hand and it has added unnecessary pressure on the team. I understand one hundred years as a club must be celebrated, but the way the Canadiens thought it should be commemorated is just rediculous. They have milked this thing througout the season by having countless different celebrations on game nights and, personally, I am not surprised it ended the way it did.
