NHL Upsets Shake Up Division Standings and Challenge Notions of Greatness.

The sudden demise of the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Playoffs has left a lot of raised eyebrows and snickering, and the Sabres' gap in the Atlantic Division just got even smaller next season. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers will now compete for Atlantic supremacy. The Sabres are a step ahead in talent, coaching, and management than fellow rebuilders Ottawa and Detroit, and a couple of steps ahead of Montreal. Boston and Tampa Bay might have lost their last chance, and Buffalo's days are coming.
