Sure. We have gone from meeting expectations by winning the Cup to not stunned they were in the Finals. Now that we have moved the goalposts to this location I agre with you.
But the regular season and playoffs the following season show that 1989 was a bit of an outlier unfortunately. But I guess everyone on this board knows that.
That was a great team.
