In the words of question e in the 2nd option, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I fully expect to see New England continue to make finals appearances over the next several seasons. They just keep doing it, they are a team that is ran extremely well and are probably as capable as anyone of keeping a franchise running smooth and competitive for as long as they want. I would hope to see Philly make another one while they’re still good. They (we) struggled a little to start the year, and turned it around into a good run that I would have liked to see in the finals and I thought was more than capable. Hopefully the slow start was more of a fluke than a sign of slowing down. Winnipeg and Edmonton will probably show up again soon as well. Other teams are climbing and we could see Baltimore soon enough, but I’ll believe it when I see it sort of thing, in terms of these successful franchises falling off completely.


I’m not sure New England could have done anything differently to change the outcome of that series. Maybe they could have stolen a game or even two but they were not two teams of a similar caliber in those finals. The scores weren’t blowouts by any stretch, but they also weren’t quite tossups. New England needed better goal prevention, which they struggled with compared to other playoff teams in the regular season, so I’m not sure anything could have been done on the fly. More than that they needed their offense to get going in the finals specifically, which they were unable to do. Maybe some line shakeups, or just going all out offensively could help them win a shootout type of game, but I don’t see a world where they come out of that series as the victor based on what we saw.
