Boston is also a large U.S. market and an Original Six team. These things are not a matter of luck, but they certainly give a team an advantage that has nothing to do with either skill or development.
Well, duh. Winners aren't looking for anyone to blame. ‘Oh, noes! We didn't really earn that Stanley Cup. We only won it because X, Y, and Z’ – said no team ever.

Boston didn't do much to develop Rask either. He was Euro-trained mainly. And Toronto got impatient and wanted a starter right away, so they asked for former Calder winner Raycroft.
