*The playoffs are fully underway after last night’s action and it seems like this year’s first round is really going to deliver, fun-wise. If you’ve not yet chosen a bandwagon, we have a handy guide that may help you. [BSH]

*We also gathered ’round the table at the ol’BSH headquarters (a Slack chat room on the internet, we are very online) and made some predictions for the first round. First up was the Eastern Conference… [BSH]

*He had a lot to say about The Kids, some of whom are playing an important role up in Allentown for the Phantoms’ playoff push. [NHL.com]
