And the series went 6 and/or 7 games.
So a team that are marginally the favorite won in a long playoff series. I'm not sure what your point is.
My point is quite clear... the Leafs physicality played a huge part in those series', you may be the only one unwilling to admit that. What is you story for the year the Sens were the 2nd seed?
You bring up a good point though, physicality is an asset for long playoff series', which you're correct, played a part.
Oh I remember. I remember the Sens being carried by one dominant line that was shutdown by one of the best checking lines the NHL has ever seen that were supported by 2 Norris calibre defenseman in front of a Conn Smyth winning goaltender.
If you're unwilling to admit the Ducks' physicality played a huge part in the series, you didn't watch it.
