There are upsets, and then there is what happened last night in the NHL: Two Game 7s, both on home ice for the higher-seeded teams. Both lower-seeded teams pulled out gutsy wins. Exciting, but normal, right? Nope! Those higher seeds were the best regular season team the NHL has ever seen — the Boston Bruins — and the defending Stanley Cup champions — the Colorado Avalanche.
