Imagine the Flames win this thing, and many really don't consider it legitimate. Might be entertaining, might feel ok, but not fully satisfying.

How often does the best team actually win the cup though? Everyone always says anything can happen in the playoffs.
As for your second point - only rivals will think the cup win isn't legitimate IMO.
