I know that the Pens started 7-0 and were 8-1 after two rounds in 2008. The Rangers in 1994 started 7-0 and were 8-1 after two rounds. The Kings in 2012 start 8-1, I believe those I think their 1 loss was in round 1. Anyone started 8-0 through two?

The Habs won all eight games in 1960 as well.

The Oilers won the first nine games of the 1985 playoffs, but it's slightly off of your criteria...

The first round was just a best of 5. They swept LA 3-0. Next round, they swept Wpg 4-0. Then in the Campbell Conference Final, they went up 2-0 on Chicago (11-2 and 7-3, no less).

EDIT:

The 1969 St. Louis Blues swept Philadelphia and Los Angeles in the first two rounds, then were swept themselves in the Final.
