It means that it's pretty self-explanatory why the Oilers are the worst 5 on 5 team in the league and will never have any success in the playoffs with those players. You need size to have success at both of those.
So size is more important than skill.
Example: Boston Bruins beat Vancouver Canucks.......Canucks were more skilled.
Example: LA Kings playoff run last year...they were by far not the most skilled team in the playoffs....
Size and strength wins out at the end because...at the end of the day....this is still a game of guts, and physical strength/endurance.
