For me, one of the charms of the playoffs is having these guys complete a grueling 82 game season and then have to drag their beat up bodies to finish their main goal. Typically, the team that wins is the team that has an insane intensity to win and the ability to play through pain. You see that through a normal playoff run and it's an amazing thing.

They're legitimately awarding the Stanley Cup at the end of this, so putting an asterisk beside the win in the record books is kind of BS. However, the game is missing what I outlined above. I guess it's kind of a invisible asterisk in my mind.
