It's easy to look back and see all the HOF's on the roster but at that time no one knew what kind of career that Roy or Vernon were going to have. Lanny was the established star on the team and we had a bunch of up and coming players with bright futures ahead of them

I agree with almost everything you are saying, what I don't get is how you figure that makes this team the weakest cup finals roster ever?
I also think that if the '04 team had a few less injuries they would have beaten Tampa too, the team that wins the war of attrition usually wins the cup.
