I guess I have to again explain how the playoffs work. Series are 7 games. The team that wins 4 out of 7, advances to the next round. Last years Cup winner had to win 3 game 7's. I wonder if there is an asterisk on the Cup for Boston stating that they had to win 3 game 7's. So therefore their Cup win isn't as good as the rest of the Cup winners?

And sandwiched in between the three seven game series the Bruins won last year was a 4 game exhibition series. So they got their rest and re-charged their batteries in between rounds 2 and 3.

Not ripping anyone, was pointing out the fact the Bruins had an easy series last year. The Rangers will have no such thing this year. So my original point was it's going to be difficult for them to win a Stanley Cup with 5 defensemen in a post-season where they will likely have to play 25+ games.

Not an issue. A lot of teams have played that way in the past. And the playoffs are always difficult. They're supposed to be.

If it's not an issue all teams should play their top 5 dmen more and let the 6th guy rot on the bench. The playoffs are like playing another 1/4 of a season. Majority of teams play all of their d-men at least 10 minutes a game, and very rarely does a team win a Cup playing essentially 5 defensemen.
