I want to see this team win the Cup as much as anybody, but I think its also important to realize that its not always the best team that wins the Cup anyway. LA was mediocre all year before going on their run two years ago. As you've pointed out before, the 08 Finals team was more dominant than the 09 Cup team. **** happens come playoff time.
Yeah, it would be great to see this team play a disciplined defensive game every night but this turned out to be an exciting game where the captain and best player in the world willed his team to victory. Maybe not a recipe for success in the playoffs but there's still 77 games in the regular season.
Look, I respect your opinions and even agree with a lot of them. Same with most posters on this board. Its just the tone and broken-recordness of this board nowadays that makes it tough to read sometimes. I still come and read because I do respect the knowledge and insight of a lot of the posters, yourself included, but I have to imagine from the outside we come off as an incredibly whiny fan base.
