They followed this up with the best playoff performance by a Calgary d-pair since Regher-Leopold 2004 in winning a playoff series against the Canucks.
The wheels may have come off this year but for a 25 game stretch at the end of last year they were the best pairing in the league unless of course winning doesn't count.

I'm not super sure why you can confidently say they were the best pairing in the league. Where are the comparisons? How was Weber's pairing? Karlsson's? Keith's?
They had a strong finish to the year, but just as he claims they aren't the best without any facts, you can't claim they were the best without proving it through proper comparisons.
