I agree with this. Anytime you go deep in the conference finals, you've done well. At that point it's almost a roll of the dice. Yup...especially because I feel like these 4 teams are the 4 best teams in hockey. In 2010, I felt the East was a lot weaker and it would have been a disappointment to lose in the Finals. I don't think there is much shame in losing to any of the other 3 remaining teams.
