It's nice to now that after Game 2 that it seemed like the Canucks were bound to choke (says hysteria). It was a close series, with good goaltending, Ryan Kesler finally scoring (which appearently makes him a Conn Smythe candidate now), and Joel Ward with some Game 5 heroics. Every game was close (for the most part), with 5 of them decided by one goal. The downside (for Vancouver) is that the Sedin's still didn't do too much. Overall it was a good series, with the Canucks moving on to the Conference Finals.

Three Thoughts About The Series
1. Quote of the Playoffs #2: (Barry Trotz in Stanley Park, asked by a couple of hockey fans if he's the Preds head coach) “That’s someone else, I think that guy’s ugly.”
2. You can tell that the second round was boring when the NHL gets after the Green Men for being entertaining.
3. I wonder if ANYONE in Nashville refers to Carry Underwood as "Mike Fisher's wife" instead of the other way around. And speaking of which...

I'm sure no one is gonna complain about a pic of Carry Underwood.
Play of the Series
Kesler's deking between 2 Preds and scoring? Nope. Rinne's overtime save? Keep guessing. David Legwand's behind the net goal? Still no. Give up? It's:
The cameraman now knows the meaning of "Smashville"!
