What separates the winners from the losers?

Chemistry, Work Ethic, Luck and Skill.

Also a Coaching staff that knows how to work it’s skill and talent to its advantage.

We have a sample size of 82 games against the sample size of 7 games. So where the luck factor will make much bigger impact? When people do not know the answer to this question, they start telling other people around about intangibles and mental toughness.

Also some people still do not know why the play-off format is even exist in the first place. Hint: It has something do with the luck and increasing the difficulty of prediction the winner in advance.

If it's all luck based, why even bother watching? Do you watch when people play a game of War with a deck of cards?

Winning

Coaching and team chemistry are huge, especially in the playoffs when everything is a little bit faster. Knowing where your teammate will be without even looking, knowing what your goalie will do when playing the puck, etc. Also luck with bounces and injuries.
