Outside of Bruins vs leafs series
At least other teams (who lost game 1)played better in game 2..well most
Home crowd has been big
But you cant win the cup unless you win a few away games
Nashville could.

They made Tampa and Detroit hate each other that's for sure.is it really creating rivalries? I don't see it.
Colorado - Nashville has been great so far
Philly not being one of the 6 teams down 2-0 after the ass-whooping they took in Game 1 is a big surprise.
I think the first round in any format rolls like this. Most series end in about 5 games.
Second and third round you see more close games with OT etc.
Which teams missing do you consider big market?There is always something to complain out on HF.
As for the OP's post, there is a little validity. The Wild and Devils don't even look competitive, but other teams that are down 0-2 like the Kings and Avalanche have played hard and lost close games. For me personally, the amount of 2-0 series coupled with the lack of big market teams even in the playoffs does impact my interest.
