I think it would be good if the Vegas example started to permeate to other teams on team play. They really came together and as was said they have earned respect. It's a storybook real life example of great hockey, no quit, gumption and buying in. Everyone on that team has really contributed to create a sum greater then the parts. This is a team that deserves to be where they are at.

I don't think we will see them fall apart in the next round and they will bring it. Whether they play Nashville or Winnipeg (please), you will see two elite fast teams going at it which is great hockey. Winnipeg is another team who has the favourite on the ropes and they are playing well as a team. We can say statistically Winnipeg should have been thrashed by Nashville, but instead they flipped the script.

I think these stories are what make all sports highly entertaining with a dash of heartbreak for the losers and the teams who just didn't have it to take it to the threshold of success. While I feel bad for San Jose again they've been a highly successful franchise over the last 27 or so years punching their ticket to the playoffs.
