What amazes me about the Flames are some of the unsung heroes in all of this. While players like Monahan and Giordano get all the attention from other teams, lower ranking guys like Bouma and Butler really creates this identity. I know people don't really like Butler all that much, but he eats up a lot of shots against Ramo/Berra/Ortio/MacDonald. Between that and Bouma (who has gotten a lot of love recently from CP) constantly putting themselves in harm's way, I can't help but imagine their efforts go a long way in driving the identity of the team.

Really haven't felt this way about the Flames for years.
