While there will be little rest for most of the teams (except for Detroit and Boston - Friday) the league playoffs will start either tomorrow or Thursday for 14 of the 16 qualifying teams. It doesn't appear to have a bad series other than the Ducks and Stars series which many anticipate a sweep by Anaheim. It is difficult to do considering the realignment has changed things up for the first time in a while.
The Ducks, you ask? Why yes, they almost claimed their first President's Trophy to their name after all. They also play in the seemingly stronger conference and as for Tampa Bay, I'm assuming that Ben Bishop will be back by then and I'd even take a long shot and say that he will get the Conn Smythe if he does indeed return - though I would like to see Teemu get it and retire with it whether we win or lose in the Finals. If you think this pick is biased, think again. If that were the case, we'd sweep Dallas, and get Minnesota in an easy Conference Finals match-up followed by a pure chance of luck in Columbus. Let me repeat that again, slowly this time: a pure chance of luck in Columbus. As for playing the Kings or LA, it won't matter as it would still be the only seven game series. But you've come to the right place if you were looking for something much more realistic.
