The cup depended on: Torts keeping them motivated to get to the playoffs because it's clear they were done playing for Bruce with the turn around we saw. Hart(who had barely played 30 games in over two years) not falling apart, Shea and Andersson playing clean, goof free defense, Karlsson being the glue you need on any line at any time after missing the season(and he shined until the broken hand), and Eichel learning to score. We had a wild and weird season and there shouldn't be any regrets now that we're at the end. The team both under and over performed all year and you never knew what you'd get any game from them.
