So much talk about winning a series in five and getting some rest, but with this team, at this time, I think getting dragged through the mud for 14 days may be the best thing that ever happened to them.
Hopefully Tanev can go ...

Yeah, this is important even beyond this year's playoffs. That was so big for this franchise - win a round, win a round as a higher seed, have to grit and come back down 2-1, play from behind, win a series in OT, fight through the immense frustration of a goalie standing on his head ...
It's really hard to get this kind of experience and to (hopefully) shed some baggage of being a team that reputationally can't dig down and win big games.
