Yes, but that's not entirely the reason I like them. They were the hottest team a few seasons back too and fell flat to the Canes in round 1. So sometimes, the hottest teams going into the playoffs fail badly and teams that were shaky rise up.
I just like their depth and they have the experience, esp. in net. Almost every other team in the East is going with a playoff rookie in goal. I'll take the guy that's been there before (Brodeur) and even without Stevens/Nidermayer they still can keep the puck out of their net.
