At this point, I think Bruins fans should just be happy that they are making the playoffs. In hockey, anything can happen, but [I agree] we shouldn't exactly be jumping for joy at a Caps match-up.
10 minutes away from a date with Ottawa First Round. Please don't blow this Columbus. Rather take my chances against Ottawa than against the cream of the conference (Washington)UPDATE: Columbus Win! Bruins play Ottawa first round! Not Washington!

It is still split between EC and WC, but basically if you are one of the top 3 teams in your division, you stay in your division's part of the bracket (either Metro or Atlantic in the EC). There are also 2 wildcard teams, which can come from the same division or one from each of the two divisions and each of those teams play the #1 team in the Metro/Atlantic.If Toronto had won, that would have knocked the Bruins down to wildcard status, meaning they would have had to play the #1 team in Washington. That luxury now belongs to Toronto as 4th in the Atlantic. The Bruins at #3 now stay in the [much worse] Atlantic part of the bracket. Even though Ottawa is technically #6 in the EC, they are actually #2 in the Atlantic. The poor Rangers who are better than both Boston and Ottawa are actually a wildcard team because of their division.Here is the bracket:https://www.nhl.com/stanley-cup-playoffs/And the standings:https://www.nhl.com/standings/conference
