I meant best team in the playoffs (in the west, so far). I agree with your point about a team getting hot and luck, etc. My point is simply that I don't like to see their performance explained away by circumstances. The Knights were there, playing the series with their whole lineup intact and the won 1 game of 5 against the Stars. When it mattered the Stars played better hockey.
