Yet another CBJ-Lightning playoff upset took place on Friday:
The first notable upset between the two organizations was of historic proportions, with the 62-win Lightning becoming the first No. 1 seed to be swept out of the first round following their epic collapse against the Blue Jackets.
The Monsters’ upset of the Crunch isn’t quite on the same scale, of course, given the league in which the teams play in and the clubs’ point differential from one another in the regular season standings — the Monsters finished fourth in the North Division with 84 points, 18 behind the division-leading Crunch who had 102 — but nevertheless it’s an intriguing, somewhat comedic hockey story worth keeping an eye on.
