Vancouver's case is strange because of all the wins they rope-a-doped on the back of brick wall performances in net, rather than took forcibly from their opponents.
Yes, wins come in all shapes and forms. But that form was rather consistently on the not so impressive side.
It's not the first time we've seen that from a team, we even saw it from our guys five years ago. What proves to be consistently true though is that particular way of winning is not sustainable beyond those single season runs like the one VAN just had.
You're not going to make a compete window out of getting outshot 50-20 while outscoring the other team on the board.
