The point I was trying to make is that when evaluating playoff team performance over a long period of time, a finals appearance is much more valuable than a first round appearance. Bourque has played many playoff games as he's made the playoffs nearly every year of his long and illustrious career. Ray Bourque has slightly more playoff GP than Wayne Gretzky. I don't think there's any doubt as to who had the greatest team success.Instead of that 12345 system, why not just simplify it and compare playoff GP? You win your series, you get to play more games.
Anyhow, the point wasn't really to make a serious analysis of their playoff performances, I just reacted to how this data was presented. There is undoubtedly a very large difference in playoff performance between the Wings and Bruins.
