I agree completely, which is why I stressed "by the numbers". Regular season numbers generally don't mean a hill of beans in the playoffs other than for determining who one's opponent is and home ice advantage (if there is such a thing. last night's game says there isn't, ha)
All I know is I can't wait for round 2 to start. In fact it starts in a few hours with Detroit @ SJ.
