It's only the 2nd Round, and there's plenty to talk about when it comes to the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Here are six storylines that have everyone chattering.

Lowest Seed In The East Takes Out The Beast

The Boston Bruins had the best regular season in NHL history, and yet the mighty Florida Panthers pulled off the stunner when Carter Verhaeghe scored in overtime. Florida completed a down 3-1 comeback in the series.

Seattle Buries The Avalanche

Oliver Bjorkstrand led the offense with a pair of goals and Philipp Grubauer made 33 saves as the Kraken shocked the defending Stanley Cup Champs in Game 7 of Round 1.

The Devils Top A Star-Studded Rangers Team

The Rangers made all kinds of trades to set up for playoff success, from Vladimir Tarasenko to Patrick Kane, but in the end Akira Schmid shut the door with 31 saves and the Rangers were blanked 4-0 in Game 7.

McDavid vs. Eichel in a Juicy Round 2 Match-Up

Top 2015 NHL Draft picks (1-2) Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel will be facing off in a playoff series for the first time, as the Edmonton Oilers face the Vegas Golden Knights. That series is just about to kick off and it should be a good one.

The Kraken Pulled Off Another Stunner

In Game 1 of Round 2, Seattle won in Dallas 5-4 in overtime, spoiling an historic 4-goal performance by Joe Pavelski.

So Did The Panthers

In Game 1 of their Round 2 series with the Leafs, the Florida Panthers won 4-2 in hostile territory. Certainly adds intrigue for the rest of the series.

And it's only Round 2. Can't wait to see what happens next!

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
