I think people are forgetting just how good defensively the 08 team was. We weren't giving up many shots per game, and were out-shooting teams by a 2-1 margin a lot of nights. That team also didn't turn the puck nearly as much as this years squad. Also offensively there isn't as much depth compared to the 08 team, that third line of Cleary-Samuelsson-Filppula was pretty potent in 08.
