Not a ton of ego, they just put the work boots on every game, play as a team and smother their opponent.
I don’t know if they can win it all without an elite #1 center. They certainly were soundly beaten in the Washington series by Kuznetsov and Backstrom. But who knows, maybe they’ll be the first team to do it since the 2004 lockout.

How about St. Louis? Do you consider ROR to be an elite C? He’s good, no question, but what would he be on the Oilers? 3C? How about Winnipeg? Washington? Pittsburgh? LA? TB? Toronto?......point being, he’s not a hands done 1C on quite a few teams. He wasn’t a 1C in Buffalo or Colorado when he left those teams either.
