Certainly not putting down the other Cup winners, and no matter what style is played, a hot Goaltender can trump all...just saying that the Red Wing puck possession Model seems to be the one that has been successful as far as consistency since the Lockout. Certainly, a good chemistry needs to be built, but hitting is getting more and more, let us say, de-emphasized, with the way rules are being interpreted as far as the way interference, hooking, holding are enforced. The league seems to want to see a speedy game with offensive flow...
