That said, they’re still an extremely fragile group regardless of the boasting from their fan base, local reporters, etc. The slightest hint of adversity could greatly impact this team and alter the narrative. They have a well documented recent history of underforming and failing to meet expectations, and although are currently on a great run, have actually had quite a tumultuous season full of inconsistencies and turmoil.

See, this is what I don't understand. Yes, they've been winning quite a few game toward the end of the season. But they were winning them in 3 on 3 OT and shootout which none of those will happen in the playoff. If that's there best hockey, how in the world would they be able to win let alone convincingly?
