The top guys will learn how to respond in the playoffs.

Look back and almost every team had playoff difficulties earlier in their career before they finally went on a run.

Kings -- Out in 6 in 2009-10, miss the playoffs in 2010-11, and then cup win in 2011-12
Penguins -- First round knockout in 2006-07 and then back to back SCF appearances
Blackhawks -- Kane and Toews both had .75PPG when they made the WCF in 2008-09. Next year they both had 29 points in 22 games.
Predators -- Took a couple years before they finally went on a run.

This is the first playoff series for a lot of our guys playing prominent roles. It's an entirely different game against a battle-tested opponent. I'd like to see them do better, but it's not like this series was going to be a cakewalk.

Yup.

I feel like if we lose this series it's a case of you have to walk before you can run. It's asking a whole lot to go from being the worst team in the East to a playoff threat and competitor the very next season.
