00:00Carolina Hurricanes dominant they're up 3-1 over the New Jersey Devils start to kind of extend the

00:05gap between themselves their price to win the Stanley Cup and everybody else playing in the

00:10postseason well with Florida up 3-1 right now over Tampa and looking pretty darn good themselves

00:16we have seen that gap close in the Eastern Conference how competitive do you think that

00:22race for the Eastern Conference crown is going to shape up to be I think it's going to come down to

00:28the winner of that Panthers Maple Leafs side of the bracket and I also think those series are

00:34obviously not over yet you look at a team like the Senators they were down 3-0 in the series they

00:46upset in game five on Tuesday and extend that series the Senators not many people notice they

00:52have the best five on five shot attempts percentage in the entire NHL this postseason they just

00:58lost a couple of close games prior to that game three game four triumph so you know don't count out

01:05the Senators in the on the live line in game five and just in general to win that series and pull off

01:11the upset but again the Panthers and the Maple Leafs if they move on to face each other the Hurricanes

01:18are having a little tough time right now some some players are banged up Freddie Anderson's banged up

01:29Devils are playing without so many guys Luke Hughes Jack Hughes the list goes on so the Hurricanes are

01:36probably most likely to finish off this series in five I would say but I don't think they're most

01:41likely to come out of the Eastern Conference if I'm being honest
