Why do some of you think that winning the Stanley Cup will be more difficult this year?
Is it because of the play-in round? I would dispute that, since this five-game series serves as a replacement of a much more grueling 12-game grind down the stretch, with travel extended over a five-week period of time.
Is it because for the first time in living memory every team will enter the playoffs completely healthy and well rested? I guess that could make things more difficult for some teams, but leveling the playing field will also prove to make things easier for others. It just depends on the team.
I don't think I agree that winning the 2020 Stanley Cup will be any more difficult than it has ever been.
