The playoffs are underway, and there is already a lot to talk about.

On the NHL side, the Oilers did something nobody expected in Game 1, won without a single McDavid point, and got contributions from depth pieces that have been questioned all season. Anaheim pushed back, but that is a tough spot for a young team. Ottawa had its chances and then some, but could not convert, and the heartbreak of that one is real. The Flyers have been the most impressive story of the early playoffs; two road games, and they have looked like the more playoff-tested team throughout. Pittsburgh is in trouble. And Dallas found a way in a must-win situation with their big players stepping up exactly when they needed to, and Oettinger silencing some of his critics in the process.

On the NBA side, the Raptors are finding out quickly that this Cleveland series is going to be a real challenge. Game 2 showed some fight, but the gap is still clear. Brandon Ingram needs to be significantly better. They ran the offence through him in Game 2, and he was pretty dreadful with it. Colin Murray-Boyles has been a genuine bright spot, and getting minutes over Poeltl is a real statement. And James Harden is picking this Toronto defence apart with the only moment of flustering coming when they throw length at him on the switch.
