Until a skill team beats a physical western conference style team in the finals, things will not change.

The only east teams that have won since 2005 are Carolina over a very lackluster Edmonton team and only just barely and that's largely due to Roloson getting hurt. The Penguins over a similarly skill oriented Detroit Red Wings, and the Boston Bruins over Vancouver in a matchup that was a West style team vs a skill team. Each of the other cups have been awarded to physically domineering teams.

Skill teams can make the Finals. Skill teams rarely win in the finals.
