Last year: expansion team predicted to finish near basement of league. Finishes near the top of the league and makes the Stanley Cup Final.
This year: best hockey team in decades in the regular season not only loses to mediocre regular season team with erratic coach from franchise that has never won a playoff round, but gets swept.
This sport feels pretty damned random sometimes.
