They could have been the Flames of 2009 or the Canucks of right now with that aging core. The difference is that they have the Pavelskis the Burns' and the Coutures to take over from Thornton and Marleau. While the Flames had Dustin Boyd and the Canucks have Bo Horvat.

I admit I'm a bit of a casual viewer of these playoffs, but I'd love to see San Jose win it all. Just for seemingly coming out of nowhere. They were pegged as a team in need of an aggressive retool, now look at them.

Also I hate the notion of Stanley Cup copy cat-ing. "The Kings are a big truculent team, we need to be big and truculent!" How do you copy San Jose? Just try to build the best team that you can.
