Pittsburgh Penguins vs Carolina Hurricanes: Pittsburgh wins 4-1 (Pittsburgh wins series 4-0)
I'll be the first to admit I didn't watch the finish of this game because of the Orlando/Cleveland game, but honestly, did I really need to? For the first time this series, Evgeni Malkin was held without a point, and Carolina still couldn't outscore Pittsburgh or prevent them from man-handling Cam Ward. Ward was the only bright spot on a Carolina team that eliminated the two best teams coming out of the East before getting swept away by the Penguins. But because Detroit didn't win game 3, even if the Red Wings win tomorrow, the Penguins will have to wait a week before playing in the Stanley Cup finals.
For the first time in his career, Cam Ward has lost a playoff series. Which is pretty amazing considering how underpowered the Hurricanes were coming into the playoffs, which Pittsburgh fully took advantage. And so the first step has been taken in a rematch of the finals last year.
