## Resource

The NHL’s Atlantic Division flipped the script this season—Buffalo and Montreal surged while perennial powerhouses like Toronto, Boston, and Tampa Bay missed the playoffs. Why? The Olympics may have been the hidden factor: veteran-heavy teams saw their star players overworked, struggling to recover from back-to-back grueling schedules. Meanwhile, younger, deeper squads like Buffalo and Montreal spread ice time more evenly, staying resilient when it mattered most. It’s a stark reminder that context—and roster construction—can rewrite playoff narratives. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
