What people are noticing with this, is that team Average, when it comes to size means very little. Thing being, now most commenting on here are now trying to suggest that it means Burke is wrong in wanting us to get bigger, and are even looking at outliers to prove the point even further, ie. Byron. But they are then also forgetting that our average is pumped up by the fact we employ 2 goons on this team that play very little impact minutes.
What this show's, is average size means nothing. Doesn't change the fact that the Flames still lack physical presence in some key areas: Defense and up front on the top 2 lines.
It would be prudent to add some physicality in those areas, but it doesn't mean we don't have a place or room for smaller players. We just need to spread our size out a little more in the right places.
