The first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is flying by, mostly in part to the dominant series wins by some teams.

Already, Colorado (four-game sweep) and Boston (4-1) are into the second round, and three teams could join them tonight (Winnipeg, up 3-0; Tampa Bay, up 3-1; Vegas, up 3-1).

Tampa Bay and Vegas look too strong for Florida and Minnesota, and should wrap up their series tonight.

I still think Edmonton has a win in them. The two other series look to be interesting.
