Lord Stanley rules, Part Deux

In which the Blob reiterates everything it said yesterday by adding this:

Colorado 5, Calgary 1.

That was the outcome last night, and it meant the Avalanche eliminated the Flames in five games in their first-round best-of-seven series. It also means, for the second time this week, a No. 1 seed in the Stanley Cup playoffs had been ousted, after Columbus offloaded the top seed in the East, Tampa Bay, in a four-game sweep.

It marks the first time in NHL history that the top seeds in each conference have been eliminated in the first round. And between them they managed just one playoff win on their way out the door.

And you know what that means?

It means Lord Stanley's playoffs are the wackiest, shenanigan-est, most fun playoffs there are. And they're about to get even more fun.
