Size pure and simple. The blues are a BIG team with pretty good talent and a few "game breakers". Size is still a pretty big part of the game. Jets are an "average" sized team with few game breakers . The blues are the new Honda curse because they are built like the ducks of the past. You can get by in the nhl with bigger teams and a little less talent if you just throw your opponent around during board battles.Its alot easier to to contain an elite team if they are smaller as your guys are more equal to winning those puck battles. If that makes sense. Every puck battle ends up being more 50/50 vs the bigger teams just dumping you a second or 2 after a puck touch.
