what’s the more reasonable take home here, that i’m “ignoring” their extremely famous epic collapse or that i’m showing a team that obviously learned some valuable playoff lessons (with their conn smythe winner hurt, mind you) and the won the next two cups?

we are comparing the 2011 canucks to the 2021 lightnings right?
Frankly I don't really think that professional hockey players who have played the game since they were 5 need to learn that they should "play hard and good" in the playoffs. For various reasons, including injuries as you point out, Columbus happened to have their number in 2019, just like Boston and LA did for Vancouver in 2011 and 2012.
