First Round Exit For the Top 4 Seeds in the West?

Has it ever happened that all the top seeds in a conference exited in the first round of the playoffs?

#1 Detroit is lucky, imho, to be at 1-1 with Edmonton. This series could have easily been 2-0 for the Oil.

#2 Dallas has played all of about 30 minutes of "motivated" hockey in this series....two games, 10 goals against.

#3 Calgary {see #1 above}. While I enjoy watching the excitement of a Calgary home game, they are also looking at the loss of home ice after 2 games. However, of the 4 top seeds, I can see the Flames as the only team to save face.

#4 Nashville - San Jose is the one team, of the lower seeds, I would not have wanted to face in the west heading into the playoffs.....especially combined with Nashville's goaltending situation.

#2 Dallas out
#4 Nashville out

Edmonton's chance is tonight......otherwise it is Detroit.

I'm still not banking on the Mighty Ducks, but who knows......???

With the NYR out I am hoping that John Davidson will be back.

Mike Emrick was with somebody during the flyer/sabres game ,
not ready for prime time or OLN time. Some of these guys
make Bob Errey sound good.

I'm not saying anything to jinx anybody.

I think the guy that used to do the Avs' games {now in St. Louis?} did the San Jose-Nashville game with Neil Smith last night.
