Playoffs Day 27

So round 2 is over and we have our game 7 winners and losers. The losers were the Capitals and Oilers and the winners were the Penguins and Ducks. The Penguins beat the Capitals 2-0  in Washington D.C, sending the Capitals home in round 2 yet again. Marc Andre Fleury stole the show with 29 saves to have a clutch shutout in game 7. Bryan Rust got the game winner in the 2nd. This is a huge disappointment for the Capitals who were looking to go far, but their 2nd round demons have met them again. The Ducks beat the Oilers 2-1 in Anaheim. The Ducks finally got past their game 7 demon and actually won. The Oilers struck first thou, and the Ducks had a got disallowed because of offside so the first was not looking good for the Ducks. They tied it in the 2nd and they played really well from there and it went to the 3rd when Nick Ritchie got the game winner 3:21 in the 3rd. The Oilers can hang their heads high because they were no expected to be in the second round or even the playoffs so this was a great run for them. Round 3 match ups are, Penguins vs. Senators and Predators vs. Ducks. Why do the Capitals always lose in round 2? Could the Oilers have won the game? Who will advance to the Stanley Cup Final? stay tuned....
