They were fast and they could forecheck. I'm not sure how bruising the Kings were. Yes they had guys like King and Nolan and even Penner! But they gave up alot of shots and Quick was brilliant.
Boston barely survived the Eastern Conference... 3 game 7s? If Vancouver weren't such pansies, they'd have won that series in a walk. I think Boston will struggle from now on and we will see that 2011 championship as a fluke. As much as we hate Vancouver, they should have won that one.
I like the Blackhawks championship model of 2010. Puck control, fast and skilled. Covering all of the ice.
