WEST

(C1) Colorado VS (P2) Calgary

Calgary was simply the better team consistently, playing solid defense and getting reliable goaltending from Devan Dubnyk. They get the sweep while allowing two goals or less every game. They were led offensively by 23 year old Emile Poirier who exploded for four goals and two assists in the four games. Captain Mark Giordano had two goals and three assists from the blueline. Landeskog finishes his postseason with 17 points in 17 games but it isn't enough to will his club to Cup Finals. The next highest scoring Av this playoffs was MacKinnon with 10 points.

EAST

(A1) Montreal VS (WC1) Boston

Well the Canadiens faced their first real adversity all season and they weren't up to the task. It is worth noting that Montreal's Robyn Regehr missed games four and five with a suspension. Also, significantly, star forward Max Pacioretty was injured in game four and missed the final two games. The Bruins seemed to have Carey Price solved, and he allowed at least three goals in the first five games before a stellar game six performance fell short with no run support. Both P.K. Subban and Zdeno Chara returned from injury for this series. Oh yeah and Boston had Patrice Bergeron back as well, he chipped in six points. David Pastrnak had himself a series - the 21 year old star had 3 goals and 6 assists to overtake teammate Torey Krug for the playoff scoring lead. It's on to the Stanley Cup Finals for the seventh seeded Bruins while the Canadiens lick their wounds and reload for next year.
