Are team's going to try to copy Florida's style?

[SeanMoneyHands]

Three straight Stanley Cup finals. I would think teams will start to try to copy Floridas style as it's clearly successful in the playoffs. What do you think?

 

[NYRnine94]

Do they have Florida's roster? Another team just can't do what they do, Florida is a forechecking monster and they smother you. It's nothing unheard of, they are just experts at it. What teams should do is take more risks and make bigger trades to shake up their cores like Florida did. Lines 1-4 all need to be on the same page and buy in and that's what they are doing.

Leafs are already doing this by signing all of our UFAs and making noise about trying to poach Sam Bennett. Problem for the Leafs is that they're the Leafs.

They don't win because of the refs, but the refs not calling their headshots and general after the whistle f***ery sure helps.

They are the personification of "can't call them all"

 

[Master P]

Nah, its a culture thing. Everyone on the panthers has bought in.

Can't just add players and then PRESTO it all works.

I dont think any star is leaving the Panthers for the leafs.

Can we trade you Michael Rasmussen for a year so he buys in, and get him back like a physical checking monster next year?

That's the playoffs. Teams who play through it win and teams that don't get eliminated.

yeah, the two different rules books is stupid. the lack of consistency is whats dumb. Youll have a player hauled down from behind with no call, then a stick in the midsection gets called 30 seconds later.

To add to this, the key piece is the coach.

 

[avocadosmoothie]

probably in the East, but no guarantee they'd make it past three legit teams every year in the West

This is the big boy hockey Cup winners play. Been played like this forever.

Been the reality forever.

If they called everything there'd be some games with 12 PP

It is an odd thing about sports officiating- calls are more context- dependent than truly purely objective.

They're 1 and 1 against the West in the SCF

sure, start with drafting Barkovs

 

[avocadosmoothie]

yea but they have the benefit of a soft path through every year with minimal wear and tear

 

[Johnny Concussion]

Hiring Gregory Campbell isn't a style that everyone can copy.

Winning a series in even 4 games is not the same as not enduring any physicality and having a toll taken on the body.

This seems to be the greatest misconception I've seen by many posters on these boards.

This video makes the argument that Ottawa starting starting to copy Florida's style:

The NHL always copies the style of the current champion. Monkey see, monkey do. They will try to build a similar roster and a similar game plan.

they waltz through a soft conference every year, totally different to making it through the bruisers of the West

You believe what you want to believe lol

Colin unfortunately has only one son, your best bet is to hire other more distant family and hope the sheer volume makes up for it.
