Not So Mighty
Enjoy your freedom, you wintertimer.
Yeah this so called curse is fake news. The President's Trophy winner has won the Cup more than any other seed (2-16). It's not a curse. If anything statistics are on your side.
People put too much emphasis on who wins it. Not much difference from the PT winner than the #1 seed in the other conference.
They win the cup more often than any other seed.
26% is not "almost never". That's over a quarter of the time! Much, much more than the average 1/16 odds.
I'd stay that stat begs the question, "why does the President's Trophy winner go on to win the Cup at such a high rate?".
I think these teams can beat Nashville in a 7 game series Winnipeg Vegas San Jose Anaheim L.A. Minnesota st Louis Colorado. My point is any team can get hot and any goalie can get hot. One of the main reasons I love hockey. The parity is awesome. You just never know. Yea there are favorites but the favorites lose all the time. That's why I tell people, I love football basketball and baseball, but there is nothing like some playoff hockeyIts the parity. There is several teams that is just as good as Nashville.
People look at the point totals, too much, should just look at wins, Nashville is not the best team if you go by ROW.
You get nothing for ties at the end of regulation the Cup Playoff, those 1 pointers you got during the season don't mean anything.

I learned the hot goalie thing the hard way in '91 when Jon Casey took the sub-.500 Minnesota NorthStars past Keenan's Blackhawks, a Blues team with Brett Hull and the blueline anchored by Scott Stevens, and Messier's Edmonton Oilers before falling to the Penguins.I think these teams can beat Nashville in a 7 game series Winnipeg Vegas San Jose Anaheim L.A.

another factor is some of the Presidents Trophy winners the last decade or so have had inflated point totals from beating up on a bad division.
Like the Canucks and the Caps in the old southeast division.
