On the heels of a whirlwind first round of the 2015 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs comes Round 2. And with it already underway, all signs point toward drama and intrigue reaching a fever pitch in the coming days.
The second round began Thursday night with two games that went in different directions, to say the least. The Washington Capitals stunned the Presidents' Trophy-winning Rangers by stealing Game 1 with a goal at the last second. The Anaheim Ducks preferred not to follow suit, thrashing the Calgary Flames 6-1 in a game that may as well have been called after two periods.
But the schedule really amps up over the weekend, with all eight teams stepping onto the ice and the two other second-round series beginning. And if the early returns are any indication, the second round should produce even more fireworks than the first.
