While true, the age of super teams is long gone. The Avs and Oilers have insane top end offensive skills at C, W, and D. Their goalies and depth kill them. The Panthers caught lightning, but Bob was a massive question mark and viewed as a cap dump before last playoffs. The Lightning had a team like 20% over the cap limit to win.
Teams win all different ways. And still every other team loses in all those same ways. I don’t get all the “we can’t win like this” commentary. Only one team a year wins, and every other teams’ fans then assume that’s the only way to win.
“You can’t win this way” should die a death with “you can’t win with this guy.” From Ovechkin to Yzerman and well beyond, it’s a similar adage that is proven time and again to be hindsight bullshit once you suddenly CAN win “this way” with “that guy.”
