Like, I'm just saying Vegas was good... but they had a lot of things go their way as well. I'm not certain I'd be trying to copy them too much.
I think all cup winners have a few things go their way. Hard not to give credit to any team that only loses 6 games on route to winning a cup. They handled all their opponents relatively easily which is all you can ask.
