The big thing is that it brings hope.
And the simple fact of the matter is that teh North division isn't very good. The Leafs are at the top, but it's not like they are world beaters, and some kind of playoff juggernaut. They are very beatable.
After that, The Jets, Habs, and Oilers (lol) are all about equal, and none are better than the Flames.
We have, arguably, the best goalie in the division. And we have depth (despite what they have shown so far). And now they have a coach that knows what it takes to win.
Getting out of the division was always there as a possibility this year. And now it is a realistic goal!
