The only Florida line that was a net positive 5 vs 5 was their top line.We had a forward and a D put up the best playoff numbers in 3 decades. Our best players did pretty darn good.
Solid depth is what takes teams all the way. Lots of Florida depth owned us, especially on their wings. How long have you been watching playoffs? It's very rare for a team with a bottom 4 D group as crap as ours to even make it to the finals. A solid top 4 is a must. We only made it as far as we did because a few elite performances were able to cancel out how trash some of our depth was. It should have been much easier, but they did everything they could. Our bottom 4 D were a handicap through almost the entire playoffs.
