Oh I think they were the better team yes, just pointing out how close it was to them being out in the first round and then all of a sudden people are questioning their team and what they need to do to win in the play-offs, especially with two straight 1st round losses. If the refs call the clear penalty in game 7 there is a good chance Boston loses that game but not really that different of a team.
I think they are a fine play-off team but that is how close it is between being a team "built for the play-offs" and a team with two straight 1st round exits. So kind of harsh to think Iginla should have predicted how everything would play out.
