The two best series in the first round were in the Eastern Conference this year. (Go 'Canes and (I can't believe I'm saying this, but) Go Rangers) Unless you're a Duck fan, where they ousted the San José Chokes.
I feel a case of déjà vu coming on - didn't this same matchup occur in the first round either last year or a few years ago, and didn't it result in the same outcome?
