Adam Copeland on a historic Stanley Cup Final–one that has unfolded a lot like a pro wrestling bout: “All playoffs, Florida’s physicality was unmatched, but Edmonton is special. I don’t know of many other teams that can match them.”

If you haven’t seen Copelands match from Double or Nothing. It’s absolutely crazy and entertaining asf. Sadly he jumped off the cage and broke his leg.
I’m an Oilers fan, but this article comes off as a bit weird. The Oilers haven’t exactly been gentlemanly on their way to this point (Derek Ryan cup check, Kane slewfoot, Draisaitl headshot), and they have not been the more physical team in any of their series. The Oilers are built to *handle* physicality better than most, sure, but they have not made a point of laying the body at any opportunity aside from guys like Kane and Holloway.
The hell/babyface analogy plays well enough, it’s just presented from an odd angle.
I can think of one that matched them just fine last year.
