Hockey is also a game of infinite deflections from certainties of anything... the best team in the league can lose on a few juicy rebounds, a garbage goal bouncing off some players ass into the net, etc. Anything can happen, and if the hockey gods choose not to smile on on a team any given night then no matter how good the team they might lose.
