Frank Corrado joins and tells us how many small defencemen he thinks a team can play while still remaining a Cup contender. He also shares his thoughts on whether beautiful goals like Colorado scored last year will become the #StanleyCup formula, or whether ugly-goal teams like Carolina and Florida are the best recipe in the #NHL.

It's about team toughness. The Canucks in 2011 on average had the bigger sized defense (or even the team) compared to Boston… but you wouldn't have known on how they played.
but the problem is our big D is overpaid and suck ! so the fact is you only need to pay the big d for min or close to min.
Yes, one pint-sized whiz-kid d-man is enough… Canucks: DON'T DRAFT SANDIN-PELLIKKA! please…. pretty please… THIS TIME, draft elsewhere for position over best-available. Thank you, and see you at the draft taking ANYONE but!
Playoffs move towards old style NHL. Big always trumps little if the skills are the same, especially if there is a little more clutch and grab allowed. In close plays can be done on them if not allowed to clutch, so regular season small skilled guys can dominate more. But if a big guy learns to leverage their size, ie push more than pull, and watch the body, they can dominate even more if they are as skilled.
Colorado was a bit of a quirk… Last year's playoffs they had a walkthrough through the first 3 rounds, so they didn't get beat down. And so not much fatigue/injury, and their skill could shine more.
