Didn't really watch the CBJ/Pitt game (had it on my laptop but only unmuted during intermissions in the other game) but it seemed fairly evenly played.
Looking forward to the Sharks/Kings game tomorrow but I probably won't be able to watch it in as much detail as I watched the games today :/ oh well go sharks

I thought Anaheim looked great for 25 minutes and Dallas looked great for 35 minutes. I'd say the Getzlaf line had its moments also along with the Selanne line. Seguin and Benn really poured it on in the late 2nd and complete third periods. Was a good game to watch. The Ducks have to remember to keep the pedal to the medal and not allow Dallas easy entrys into the offensive zone. Dallas really had their number in the later stages of the game. Lehtonen made some nice saves late also, it wasn't all Dallas. It was about as even a game as you could get. The only real difference was blocked shots and face offs won, which the Ducks clearly won.
That Pitt game was one hell of a back and forth. The thing about Pitt is they can turn it on at any moment and have a plethora of weapons. I like their chances out of the East, most people are expecting Boston but not me.
Tampa wasn't really dominated as much as you say. They had alot of great scoring chances and had their own at times. I'd look for them to make some waves before that series is over. I like their young guy out of the Czech Republic Ondrej Palat dude is gonna be a beast. Left the game early in the third with an upper body injury but he'll be fine. Game went 5-4 in overtime, not sure thats exactly them getting dominated. Should be a great series.
