Every round is a completely new entity. And by the 4th round, teams are really beat up, and sometimes run out of gas. FLA had nothing left for this series - nothing. Not their fault, not a criticism, just what it is. So to try and infer that your team did better against Vegas (and is somehow better, as a result), is as pointless as it is embarrassing.

Florida was also incredibly lucky, winning a lot of really close games. Their strategy of having Bobrovsky play out of his mind and then get very timely goals, just when they needed them was bound to run aground eventually.
Vegas was able to find the weak point on Bobrovsky (apparently just shoot high), and Vegas was just the better, overall, team.
