First you have to find a hardcore hockey observer around here who was born in the early 50s to give a credible opinion. That is a task in itself.
As for this version of the team, it's really an unknown commodity to me in the playoffs, and until that question is answered, you can't answer the topic. There are only 6 playoff games under their belts, and this year, they will actually be expected to do more, whether that's fair or not.
All we can say at this point is that they passed the regular season test, which is a good feat. Sometimes, when you have these young peices coming off a good year, they take a step back. As a team though, they have just marched on this year.
