Last year, this was what most assumed would be the Stanley Cup finals.  This year...

Buffalo was bled dry this past off-season by free agent departures, and oh is it showing.  Meanwhile, the Sharks are facing their own issue, that being how to translate their road success (best in the league) into home success (second worst in the league).  Weird.
