NBA/NHL Playoffs Update, April 30

NOTE: Yes that's right, there are 3 Game 7's tonight in the NHL. 
Here's the schedule (all times eastern):
7:00 PM: Flyers at Rangers, NBC Sports Network
9:30 PM: Wild at Avalanche, CNBC
10:00 PM: Kings at Sharks, NBC Sports Network, the Sharks were up 3-0 in this series

Once we hit the start of the NBA and NHL playoffs, I can never keep everything straight. So I figured I'd do myself (and anyone who frequents this blog) the service of keeping a current tally of each NBA and NHL playoff series.

Notes:

• The numbers in parentheses (on the outside of each table) are the seed of that particular team (the lower the seed, the better that team's regular season record...mostly)
• The numbers on the inside of each table are the number of games won by that team in the series. 
• Every series below is a 7-game series. 
• This will not be a comprehensive overview of either the NBA or NHL playoffs, simply an opportunity to keep tabs on which series are over quickly and which ones are in the process of going down to the wire.
