Name the last small team to win a championship.
I'm not saying you just go out and add size, you need to add "Size with Skill".

They literally dont have to play any other team in the leugue. Only the same 6 teams day in and out. Same with Calgary. Which has a massive bearing how any Canadian team performs this year. When you don't have to compete against 24 other teams this year. No team will play outside their division until the semi finals and finals. Also wouldn't say they got their asses beat year in year out considering it was only the one year vs Columbus.
