If you were to analyze Nashville's lineup at the start of the season did you think that lineup would at worst come within 2 wins of winning it all?
I'm not saying Calgary's would match up with Nashville, but if some of the younger guys did improve a bit, it could get close.
Since the 05-06 lockout, there have been 3 teams who were the 8th place team get to the cup, and in all cases this lower seed team at least was highly competitive in the series. Yes an elite team will have more shots at being in the playoffs, and being successful. But in any given playoffs, it is looking like anyone can make a push.
