The Sens secured a second round birth by destroying Les Habitants last night, and Chicago did the same against Minnesota. We'll look at those plus all of the other games from last night, and preview tonight's matchups in which more second round spots may be secured? Who knows? Keep it crispy, BShelf'ers. Also, Jake dislikes the West coast. Geographically speaking.
