Best-of-7 Western Conference quarterfinal series tied 2-2.

Another night of playoff hockey is in the books, as the Rangers take a stranglehold on their series, and Carolina completes the seeded upset in their sweep of the Bruins. Columbus, who was swept a year ago, complete their own sweep of Chicago, and Calgary makes it a series as the road teams win every game thus far. http://ehechockey.com/EHEC.zip

That was unexpected.

I'll take the sweep, but with two series tied, I don't know how much I like all that rest.

[Bruins]

Next year will be no fun and games, you won't be seeing Ray Emery half the year that's for sure. Not sure how that Bruins roster didn't win an EHEC playoff game. Now the rest of the league can celebrate as the GM everyone loves to hate is knocked from the playoffs. 2011-12 will be a much better simmed season.

Maybe we just hate to love you.
