They won the President's trophy as well and just slid by Calgary in the semis to make the finals and eventually win the SC. Since Edmonton beat Calgary by 23 wins during the regualr season it's looked to be an easy series, history told a different story.
My point here is you have a series in which you wake up every year to realize that nothing is given to you and you have to work for it all playoff long. When we get by Ottawa, whoever we play is going to see a fire that will be extinguished by no one, bank on it.
