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

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.
 
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.

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.
 
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?

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