That's not how the Oilers had their dynasty, the Avalanche won their Cups (better forwards than d and no power forwards), nor even the Red Wings won their Cups (Detroit never had a Top-5 goalie in their prime, just back-ups and over-the-hill guys).Evil Sather said:While everyone has their bias, I've yet to feel that there was a series my team wouldn't be at least a 50/50 chance to win against any other team.
A dominating defense (especially top 4), a money goalie, and a solid, not neccessarily spectacular set of forwards including quality muckers, grinders, and power forwards are IMO the way to go.
You are of course, entitled to your own opinion.

There's more than one way to win the Stanley Cup again and again and again.
