Such is life. They do it to themselves. They couldn't win one or two games at the end of the season get a higher berth, instead dropping to the 7th seed and narrowly escaping the 8th seed.
Then during the series with SJ they continually shoot themselves in the foot with mediocre defense (credit due to SJ, they cut through the D like a hot knife through butter) and a PP that has been limp the whole season.
I'm disappointed of course, but to be honest I picked SJ to take the series in 6 games. Was hoping to be wrong.
