Also in your example is their a team that has more of a winning culture than the Datsyuk/Zetterberg/Lidstrom Red Wings?

Very well possible that I misinterpreted your original statement where it seemed you were completely dismissing the intangibles and that the only thing that mattered was elite talent.
My apologies if I had.
Answer to your second question not many maybe the Islanders and Oilers of the 80's. Yes I know where you are leading with your question. I will stop short and say I'm not saying a winning culture wins you a Stanley Cup either but it usually does help.
Anyways, sorry to the forum and back on topic. I sure hope a Reinhart or Bennett slip down to 4 or 5 where I think we will be.
