The Boston Bruins and the Dallas Mavericks, 3 seeds in 8 team brackets (the equivalent of 5/6 seeds in 16 team brackets) win titles. Does this mean the NHL and NBA playoffs are crapshoots? And should the Caps, Canucks, Bulls and Spurs feel satisfied that they were the #1 seeded "regular season champs"? ;D
Clearly, the best teams won as the best teams always prevail in best of 7 series.
