That's true for any cup winning team. When Crosby and Malkin show up, they win a cup...

Not always. While it is impossible to win without a team's stars leading the way, it is also true that a team cannot win without tremendous performances from it's secondary scorers and depth players. It is a huge mistake to ignore the importance of contributions from players like Frolik, Brouwer, Engelland, etc.
