For the first time in NHL history, the Presidents' Trophy winner has been swept in the first round. Anyone who bet on Columbus over Tampa in 4 just got a killer return on their investment!

Imagine what odds you could have got on both Tampa and Pittsburgh being swept?

5 minutes on Eakin was a a soft call but maybe don't give up four goals on one penalty kill to a Sharks team minus one Pavelski? Just for fun I went through the Senators' game log from this season and could not find an instance of Ottawa giving up multiple goals against while killing off a major and to my knowledge the Senators were the worst team in the league so yeah just a thought.
