A post prime Ovechkin? You know that he just won another goal scoring title right?
As for the Islanders - their best players can be better than another teams best players. Elite players can have awful series - the question that needs to be asked is whether that is because it is a one-off, or if they are capable of having the extra gear necessary to win in the playoffs.
Coaching is important - but a coach can't teach personality/drive
