Speed is overrated?
The 2010 Hawks were the fastest team in the league and very few teams could keep up with them over the long haul.
Pure top end speed without the requisite skills need to keep up might be overrated, but skilled players that think and play fast are invaluable.

They had really good skilled players who were very quick in different directions, then they had some beef on the team to create space for these smaller quicker players, it was a really good balance.
And then you had guys who hounded the puck and won board battles like Hossa, Toews, Ladd, Brouwer, Madden and the Rat
