Its "Luck" to win this many games in the postseason so quickly that they could break yet another record by winning the Cup in under 19 games?? Thats Luck?? Hmmm.
Well I guess its better to be lucky than good.

I wouldn't say they lucked into anything, but they definitely benefitted from generous expansion rules. As a Wild fan, it does make me a little bitter than the Wild and Blue Jackets had to compete for/split 4th liners at best, while Vegas got their own draft, comprised of MUCH better talent.
That said, it's been a fun story. Enjoy the ride!
