They aren't the same players who put up the bulk of those points from 2005-2012. They are PP specialists now (albeit very good ones) who will struggle with the lack of PPs in the playoffs and with Calgary's insane discipline. This series is going to come down to whether or not Vancouver can shut down Calgary's top line, and if they can, if any of Calgary's 2nd-4th lines step up. If someone like Backlund can channel his inner John Druce, that will go a long way. This series will be decided by unlikely heroes (either team) or Monahudreau IMO.
