Of course it had more to do with the players you mentioned. Obviously being able to out score your opponent is paramount to any teams success.
the point is Tom Wilson and the way he played created turnovers, time and space for his teammates. This is a fact and his role was a vital piece in the run to the cup.
As far as the comment about winning it before... his role was less as a player who played deeper in the lineup and obviously many factors go into a championship. Many a great players can't even get their teams past the first round or into the playoffs without having the necessary components and some luck....i dont think this needs to be explained to you
There you go. The bolded is all that needs to be said.
I'm not saying that we should turn into a team that doesn't have anyone who plays physical. If you read my post that you responded to, I'm saying that it's pointless to bring in talentless plugs just because they're physical. If you can bring in someone who's talented but also happens to play physical, great. But to pay a high price to bring in plugs like Dorsett, Prust, Gudbranson, and others simply makes no sense. And that's exactly what Benning has done, under the guise of "they'll create a safe working environment for our young players." That's the bit that's been proven wrong. That's also the same bit that some Benning Bro's used to justify these transactions. They too have been proven wrong. That's all this is.
