As the Flames start to get a little bigger on D, and add a little more size in the top 6 forwards, I'd guess our need to employee more than one "purish goons" will diminish. But while our top forwards and even forward prospects are as small as they are, I wager Burke and crew will feel the need to have more "forced truculence" through the line. We can mock it all we want, but the team did play bigger and more physical and more confident after Westgarth was added. True it could merely be coincidence, but maybe not.
