No, what it proves is that teams aren't always playing to their potential during the regular season. Or maybe mid-season movement of players actually works very well for a lot of teams. Or maybe... just maybe, when it's all on the line for the Cup, players go to another level to win those little battles in the corners, or block those shots like they might not on a regular Saturday night in November.
I'm sure it's a combination of all that.
