They made the postseason, but it really was in name only. They finished last season with a pretty pathetic 87 points. Do you know how many better teams miss the playoffs? A lot of them! The Bruins had six more points and didn't even make the postseason. The Kings and Sharks missed last year with more points. This was worse than virtually any 11th place team in recent history. The only reason it got there was because the Avs pulled the plug on their season quicker than Patrick Roy pulls a goalie.
