Sweet justice already happened the moment the Hawks closed out the Oilers in four games. If facing the 12 seeded Hawks was such a big risk then the Oilers were never really Stanley Cup contenders in the first place. The reality is the Leafs haven't won a playoff round since 2004 and the Penguins are also in a playoff slump. All three of these teams were ripe for the picking in the 1st round or the playoffs or a qualifying round.
