Series notes:
* Stockholm scored at most 2 goals in a game, while Donuts scored at least 2 or more in every game. It is a no brianer to figure out the winner.
* Rolston, Straka, Stumpel and Doan are on the go in the playoffs, Gomez and Jagr have 3 assists toghether! They need to get moving.
* Mason and Nabokov are neck and neck for the starting position, next round may be an indicator.
* Usually the defense scores a goal a game in Donut country but so far 4 games and no d man goals. Better get moving Boucher, Neidermaiyer, Ohlund, Jovanovski and Zubov.
* Zetterberg in Mooseheads had 45 goals in 72 games in regular season, but just 2 assists in 3 games in round 1.
* Donuts rank low in penalties for the playoffs need to cut down the abuse, but rank high in PK and goals against, as is common for them.
Preview of Round 2 against Calgary:* Calgary is the team with most penalty min in playoffs so far, time to exploit.
* It might not be a home advantage for the Donuts! Chinnock was during the regular season 18-20-3 at home while 20-16-5. Hope they don't like the bag.
* Calgarys Savard (1+5) and Afanigenov (2+1) are sleepers through round 1, don't wake them up!
* Fleury had a terrible season with a game average of .899 while in the playoffs .905!
