I would also add having a roster that was more capable of playing the clutch and grab style that was still predominant at the time. Lots of speedy and/or physically tough grinder type players on our team it seemed.
But ya, largely Kipper, Iginla and Sutter that got us to where we were. And some luck perhaps
Agree with 96 Panthers as the weakest though.
