The difference between good and bad in the NHL is a razor's edge. Timely goal-scoring and good goaltending are the difference.
Look at virtually any game--even blowouts--and it's a bounce here or there that's the difference. Look at that Boston game, for example. Everyone talked about how we got outclassed in that game, but if either Bozak or JVR convert on those chances they had right after we tied the game and Andersen doesn't allow that one softy, it's a totally different game.
Over the course of a season, the good teams rise to the top. But in any given game or even a 7-game series? Anything can happen.
In other words ... of course we can beat Tampa or Boston!
