Last night, all the teams that were expected to win, won. Good job on predicting things, media! One interesting storyline to watch is that playoff teams have had pretty good production from their bottom-line grinders. Tom Wilson and Tanner Glass have scored the game-winning goals for their teams.

Also, if you need a team to bandwagon, the CBC has you covered. (If you vote against “youth,” you’ll avoid the Maple Leafs and Edmonton, just FYI.)
Last night’s stirring video was undoubtedly from the Maple Leafs. They rewound their season, literally.
