It's only the 2nd Round, and there's plenty to talk about when it comes to the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Here are six storylines that have everyone chattering.


Lowest Seed In The East Takes Out The Beast

The Boston Bruins had the best regular season in NHL history, and yet the mighty Florida Panthers pulled off the stunner when Carter Verhaeghe scored in overtime. Florida completed a down 3-1 comeback in the series.

Seattle Buries The Avalanche

Oliver Bjorkstrand led the offense with a pair of goals and Philipp Grubauer made 33 saves as the Kraken shocked the defending Stanley Cup Champs in Game 7 of Round 1.

The Devils Top A Star-Studded Rangers Team

The Rangers made all kinds of trades to set up for playoff success, from Vladimir Tarasenko to Patrick Kane, but in the end Akira Schmid shut the door with 31 saves and the Rangers were blanked 4-0 in Game 7.

McDavid vs. Eichel in a Juicy Round 2 Match-Up

Top 2015 NHL Draft picks (1-2) Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel will be facing off in a playoff series for the first time, as the Edmonton Oilers face the Vegas Golden Knights. That series is just about to kick off and it should be a good one.

The Kraken Pulled Off Another Stunner

In Game 1 of Round 2, Seattle won in Dallas 5-4 in overtime, spoiling an historic 4-goal performance by Joe Pavelski.

So Did The Panthers

In Game 1 of their Round 2 series with the Leafs, the Florida Panthers won 4-2 in hostile territory. Certainly adds intrigue for the rest of the series.

And it's only Round 2. Can't wait to see what happens next!
