An average NHL team playing just against a bad team that win only 30% of their game would have (if it would be something you can calculate) 87.4% chance of winning a best of 7 series.
Doing it 19 times in a rows would have less than 8% chance to occur.
For a team to have more than 50% chance of doing what they did (19 series in a row) facing always the same quality of opposition, they need to be good enough to have 96.5% or more of winning their 4out7 series.
To have a 96.5% chance of winning a best of 7 you need to be good enough to have 80% chance of winning a playoff game, that how dominant you need to be for you to be likely to do something like that.
