Post season play breaking opponents?

Soooo, way back in 2022 we played the fLames in the first round and crushed their hopes and dreams so thoroughly, they had a parade of talent up and leave in the post season (Gaudreau, Jarnkrok, Lucic, Lewis, Gudbranson, Werner, Valimaki, Ruzicka and Carpenter). Last year we took Vancouver to game 7 and went to the WCF to face Dallas.

It kinda seems like that loss to us set the stage for their team to break this year. Miller, Pettersson and others rumored to be on the way out. The team finally won back-to-back games since? November? They are way underperforming given their talent pool.
