Remember the stanley cup final how STL won because they were dominant physically. Chariot helps for that. In the playoff, he can deploy more of his ''tools'' that are normally penalized in the regular season.
During the leafs-habs serie, the Matthews, Marner and Nylander were a lot more hesitant to go in the corners when they knew they were going to get punished. Same thing for the Jets and the Knights.
While if you look at Tampa Bay, most of the goals were off the rush, turnovers or PP - the other goals (cycling-type goals) were mostly scored by the third and fourth line.
Chariot in the regular season was meh... but come playoff time, he blocks shots, punishes opponents and eats 28minutes a night. He fits right in the flame's mold.
