Yeah, I agree. I just breezed through the first round of the playoffs because the Thrashers had finished in first place somehow. I beat them every game during the regular season, and I swept them in the first round. It's onto the Canadiens now (I'm the Bruins) who should be a better challenge.
Also, I noticed in the west that Calgary finished on top and are ahead in their second round series vs. the somehow 7th place Canucks...
