The 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs gave us one of the more exciting first rounds we’ve seen. There were five Game 7s to decide over half the series. Really, the only team that got through in under six games was the Colorado Avalanche, who swept the Nashville Predators. Now, we’re into the second round and we’ll soon have our Final Four.
