There were blowouts and sweeps, expected finishes and not a whole lot of drama. Only one series went the distance and only two teams played an overtime game.

The first round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs left a lot to be desired. Maybe, with second-round matchups between rivals Washington and Pittsburgh and top Western Conference teams Winnipeg and Nashville, the best is yet to come. So far, the games have had all the drama and intensity of a Wednesday night in February.
