Recap:

NHL 2002 got 6/8 correct in the first round, which is not as good as the mighty NHL 08 and not as bad as me.
The Ducks played like their 2007 incarnation until running into the Red Wings.
I think the Boston sweep of Montréal had a lot to do with Carey Price's low rating (which I did not adjust).
I even played Game 7 as the Devils, and still couldn't beat the Rangers (Jagr scored in OT to win 5-4), so I guess it wasn't meant to be.
