you blade to get color so they don't just call the 2 minute minor when you get high sticked.

meh, you can draw any conclusion you want from this, but this final 4 is rather unexpected, to me this doesn't mean anything at all.

yeah, it's preferable to have both, but I still prefer skill over size, the McCarron and Tinordi experiments didn't lead to much lol

in any event, one year is far too small a sample size to draw any conclusions. Go back even 5 years and the story is different.

true. anyways I think the "blueprint" theory is more of a journalist/fan thing, GMs just try to combine as much size, skill and speed as possible on their roster, hoping it balances out. there have been trends over the years but I don't think you can literally copy another team, you have to do your own poop.

what you really need is a couple, three guys who are willing to get right on the edge of the line and maybe a little over into dirty territory.
