Nah. The Caps won because their best players were their best players. Same goes for the Blues. Same goes for the Pens 2x in a row. That's the winning formula, your best players play like your best players with help from the depth.
Blues probably even wouldn't have gotten through the 3rd round if SJ wasn't the most injured (not from forechecking lmao), but even then I hardly see their best players: Tarasenko, O'Reilly, Schwartz, Pietrangelo, and Parayko as balls to the wall forecheckers.
You can make up all the bullshit you want, but the last 2 years the heaviest teams won
Playoffs are called different than the regular season. Tampa found that out real quick
