This is simply saying that the star players don't win the championships, it's the good teams that do. That was shown in the 2003 Stanley Cup finals with New Jersey having really not superstars.
"We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory."

"There are two kinds of success. One is the rare kind that comes to the person who has the power to do what no one else has the power to do. That is genius. But the average person who wins what we call success is not a genius. That person is a man or woman who has merely the ordinary qualities that they share with their fellows, but has developed those ordinary qualities to a more than ordinary degree."
Theodore Roosevelt

"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture. Do not build obstacles in your imagination. Do not be awestruck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can."
Norman Vincent Peale
"I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win."

Are you just a survivor, or are you a champion? Which destination will you choose?
