I know what Florida did beating Boston, Toronto and Carolina, was really well done, especially for the latter two in such an efficient manner, but after watching Vegas thrash them it's pretty clear to me they simply overachieved in a run. Vegas is clearly a Stanley Cup team (which I honestly didn't see leading into the playoffs), but Florida has simply played over their heads leading to this. On paper they really shouldn't have been close to this and it was a Cinderella story. IMO, but I truly believe we won't see this. For chrissakes, Anthony Duclair and Nick Cousins are on the firsts line. Bennett is their second line centre! Their defence on paper looks like the lower 3rd percentile in the league. Yeah, they overachieved.
