Pittsburgh Penguins vs Montreal Canadiens

Suddenly, the Pittsburgh Penguins are the top seed in the Eastern Conference. They'll now face the Montreal Canadiens, who became the first No. 8 seed to erase a 3-1 series deficit and defeat a No. 1 seed thanks to their shocking 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.

The Habs will once again be heavy underdogs against the defending Stanley Cup champions. But you know what? We don't think they mind.

As for the Penguins, this will be the first playoff meeting between Sidney Crosby and his boyhood favorite team, a team that long ago drafted his father, Troy. The Penguins had a few stutter-steps in knocking off Ottawa in six games in the first round, but they rebounded from a 3-0 deficit in the clinching game, just as they did against the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round last year.
