The NHL Presidents’ Trophy has been awarded to the team with best regular-season record since 1986.
The one thing we’ve learned recently about this prestigious regular season award is it is just that — a regular season award, that guarantees absolutely nothing in the postseason.
Over the last decade, we have heard nothing but “the Presidents’ Trophy winner is cursed! So what they have 100+ points, wait until the playoffs.”
Ok, enough already. Who put a curse on the Panthers at the start of this series? How did that not go in!?Come on.

If I'm reading this right: the Colorado Avalanche, President's Trophy winners with 84 points, choked by losing to the Vegas Golden Knights, team that also had 84 points. Did I get that right?
