The points that were made in this article — bad extensions by Shero to Kunitz, Dupuis (whose LTIR cap replacement is not discussed often enough for helping to free up $3.75M), and Scuderi hampered this team.
Yes, I am willing to eat crow on Rutherford having the game passed him by, but he also managed to hit on every single move he made this season. There a dose of luck mixed in with a lot of skill, although I will continue to contend that Jason Botteril has had more influence.
Do I look stupid? Uh, OK? Winning the Cup erases all interest in that, especially with a huge does of 20/20 hindsight on your part. Would you have typed the same comment if the Pens lost to the Caps or Lightning? Or the Sharks?
