They sure did. One of the greatest collections of talent the league has seen in the modern era captained by the greatest player ever.

For anyone curious, here's the best teams by decade since 1920:

I was surprised by that as well. Looking at their season-by-season record they've been quietly really consistent over the years, as opposed to some other teams on this list that have had really high highs and really low lows.

Then you have my Blue Jackets, which have mostly been really low lows. 😭
