The first round did not disappoint thrill-seekers as it was full of overtimes, last-minute comebacks and epic collapses. But while there were a couple of upsets - as there are every first round - the top two seeds in the league and heavy Cup favorites are still alive. So we're ready to move right on to Round 2 Tuesday night and look ahead by comparing teams in each of the four matchups

GAME 7: BOSTON 5 at TORONTO 4 (OT) – BRUINS WIN SERIES 4-3
Why Boston won: When most of your roster is just two years removed from a Stanley Cup and is playing its sixth Game 7 in the last three seasons, you simply don’t flinch in the face of adversity the way a young, inexperienced team does - and Boston proved that Monday night.

The Maple Leafs took a 2-0 lead and hung on down the stretch to send the series back to Toronto; the Rangers offense disappears again and Washington takes a 3-2 series lead; Detroit wins for the third time in OT to go to Game 7; and the Kings knocked out the Blues.
GAME 5: TORONTO 2, BOSTON 1 – BRUINS LEAD 3-2
Why Toronto won: The Leafs turned the tables on the Bruins by playing essentially the same opportunistic type of game Boston used to win three of the first four games of this series: Toronto leaned on goalie James Reimer all night, capitalized on a couple of the home team’s mistakes and held on for dear life in a third period that saw the trailing team furiously assault the leading team with a flurry of shots on net.

“I think when you’re at home the first two games, sometimes you get a little bit too comfortable at home. Then you come on the road, maybe it’s like a rude awakening…We’ve had three series to figure that out, learn it. We definitely want to be better (Monday), especially in the first game on the road.”
- Chicago's Patrick Kane. The Blackhawks are 0-3 in Game 3s this playoff.
