Sometimes it happens that generally good team misses playoffs, then comes back to being contender next season... Examples in modern history:
Detroit 89/90 ("legendary" playoff srtreak should be 4 years longer if that season never happened)
New York Rangers 92/93 (PT winner'92 to not making playoffs'93 to PT winner+SC Champion'94)
Dallas Stars 01/02 (One of three major Western Powerhouses in late 90s/early 00s missed playoffs in 02...then back to #1 seed in 03)
San Jose 14/15 (legit, although undrachieving team missed playoffs, just to post best season in franchise history next year)
How would you explain those seasons ??? Are there any more examples ...???
