The Flames defense is butter soft by what comparisons? When I watch games around the league, I see every defense as butter soft (by our definition of watching hockey in the past). This Avs/Oilers game going on now, has a defenseman even made a hit?
A defender can't interfere, can't grab a jersey, can't stick his stick in someone's feet, can't raise his stick parallel to the ice, can't push or cross check a guy standing in front of his goalie.
This is a butter soft league now. Scott Stevens would be an AHLer.
