The thing about the Stanley Cup is that there’s no exact formula for how teams can win it. Sometimes it’s won with speed and skill, as has been the case for teams like the Blackhawks (three championships since 2010) and Penguins (three championships since 2009). But sometimes that same Cup is won with a very different approach, one that features brute strength, staunch defense, and playing a rough and tumble style. Those are the tactics the Bruins employed to win it in 2011, as did the Kings in 2012 and 2014.
