Game 1: Seriously, when will Theodore retire/quit? Why do teams keep signing him?
Game 2: Better goaltending, same result. The favorite has a long road ahead if they want to win.
Game 3: What a difference a real goaltender makes.
Game 4: Wow, is Ludqvist really that good? It's amazing Washington is losing this series.
Game 5: Washington has a good chance of a come-back...
Game 6:
Game 7: All TSN kept saying was how terrible Washington was doing, but in the end they were the better team.

This is Washington's series to lose. The experience gained from last years short playoff series should do them good. They are a much better team compared to last year. Jose Theodore has a chance now to redeem himself, but if there's an early exit Theodore may never be a starting goaltender again. This should be a fun series to watch as there should be a lot of goals and decent back and forth action. Lundqvist has the opportunity now to prove he's a great goalie.
