I think it says a lot about the playoffs this year when a guy who isn't familiar with it at all is so far ahead of everyone else. Nothing against you personally, YIYF, I just think it's funny the way the playoffs turned out this year. I mean, if you would have said a month ago that Anaheim would be playing Edmonton (

) in the Western Conference Finals, you would have been laughed at.

A series refers to when two teams battle it out in a best-of-7 contest to see who moves on in the playoffs. The first team to win 4 games wins the series. The higher-ranking team as the home advantage, which means they play the first two games at home, and also the 5th and 7th if necessary.
