100% spot on. The last 3 teams to win the cup were hard as hell. They didn't mess around and physically dominated their opponents.
Watching the draft and player movement teams are desperate for size and toughness. I don't mind losing the brawling in hockey, it started getting old, mostly just waltzing around. These guys nowadays are learning to hit with their bodies instead of shoulders and elbows and fuck do they hit hard. It's because they all skate like the wind.
