Round 1: (M2) New York vs. (M3) Philadelphia

[L K]

The amount of money that I'd pay Stralman to come back is increasing every game.

Gardiner-Phaneuf
Gunnarsson-Stralman
Rielly-Granberg

The next-Lidstrom stuff is still a significant exaggeration but he's really turned made his defensive game pretty good.  He might slide under the radar with Niskanen gearing up for a 7 35-40 million dollar contract.

Looks like the Rangers win the series in 7 and will go on to face the Pens after a 2-1 win.
