Edmonton also got to the cup finals through a lot of smoke and mirrors, and in their first run was lucky to get to 7 after being down in the series. Look at what happened when they played a team that was actually good and played to their abilities, in 22-23.

And in their second run, only an extremely poor zone clearance by Byfield allowed them to get past LA.
