There was potential for some good stuff Friday night in the NHL playoffs. After all, five games were scheduled, and three of them featured desperate home teams trying to avoid 2-0 deficits in their respective series.

The NHL should be proud. Every one of these games lived up to the billing, and you could argue the night as a whole far exceeded any reasonable expectations.

Great action could be found in every game, and there were some big moments that helped define a great night of classic playoff hockey.

Just think: this is the first round. Even better, these are the opening games of the first round.

It's only going to get better from here.
