Conducting a little bit of an experiment with this discussion... when you hear the term "finesse" (typically in a derogatory manner), which teams from across the decades spring to mind?

What is even ‘finesse’?

I heard this lots about 90s teams throughout all sports including the Los Angeles Kings.

Finesse typically refers to a team that isn’t strong or physical but fast and quick, which is why it’s looked down on in football: smack them in the mouth and they fold like a house of cards.
