Maybe this was said tongue and cheek, but many many posters on this forum point to the nutso game against the Canucks last year as the turning point for the season. I've heard things like 'ever since the game against the Nucks last year, our record has been...'
That game *was* signficant to the Flames. McGratton was a huge part of that. I'm surprised that people are saying that enforcers are the way of the dinosaur when it was those dinosaurs that helped turn this thing around. It lit a fire under the team, probably bringing them closer together. Now, we have no presence. Suddenly, are we all of the mind that the Flames are a finesse team? I keep hearing Hrudey say that 'we could have won 4 of those 5 last games', but in my mind, the Flames were getting tossed around.
The Flames need to get a little more edgy in the way they play. If that's what Cherry was trying to say, then yes, I agree with it.
