Aye, there's the rub. Regular season success doesn't necessarily transfer into the playoffs. No more so than in the NHL. The playoff record of President's trophy winners capturing the cup isn't great. Different game in the playoffs requiring different discipline and skill set. Game planning goes to a whole new level.
