You can throw out the standings and records when it comes to the playoffs. It's a new season where all teams start out new.
Look back to the 1971 season where Orr and Esposito shattered league records only to see the heavily favored Bruins lose in 7 games to rookie Ken Dryden and the Canadiens. The same Canadiens who went on to beat the Blackhawks for the Stanley Cup.
That is what makes the playoffs so exciting to watch.
