The whole NHL playoffs I was giving an extra eye on the PIT/NYI match (1/8 seed) up because I thought the winner of that series would face BOS / TOR (4/5 seed).

So I just watched game 6 of that series back and I found out that Pittsburgh is now playing Ottawa Senators (7) in the second round. Which is the winner of the 2/7 match up. So I see this bracket is kinda different than NBA, can someone explain it for me?:) TP to earn! ;)

Does the first seed in NHL always play the worst team left which would be Ottawa (7) as they knocked off Montreal (2)?

I kinda hoped Boston would face, IF THEY ADVANCE because that's not a giving thing either the Pittsburgh Penguins. I think we match up better against them than the Washing Capitals which I think are super strong and still got a bad memory of last year. The Rangers would be fun to play but I think Washington will win that series.

Go bruins, let's finish it tonight!!

Yes, the NHL re-seeds each round.  The highest remaining seed in the conference plays the lowest remaining seed, etc.

Re-seeding and centralized replay video are two things the NHL does better than NBA
