What do you think the Flame's play style or mojo will be like next year?

Of the typical things, I presume many members expect the following:

1. Kids get ice time, kids aren't rushed, kids are protected
2. Same hardworking attitude from last year
3. Score wise on games played, they continue to be close in score like last year
4. Entertaining
5. Buy in from all players. Prima donnas/locker cancers not welcome.

Style, attitude or mojo wise, what other attributes are you looking for and why? Passing game, an aggressive game (what type? Shooting, physical etc.) etc. What do you think? I'm not talking specific players and things like expecting Ramo to become Kiprusoff. I'm talking overall team things.

Personally, with some of the recent moves, I think it would be nice if we started seeing a few more Gordie Howe hat tricks. It seems to fit the idea of a "Truculent" gritty player and really enforces the idea of "playing big" yet contributing to the needs of the team. Seeing opposing players obliterated in checks or fights would be great, but I'm sure seeing point/NHL standing results would be better for many. It would be interesting if we become known as a hard working but gnarly team to play against, but with a great attitude off ice as well. McGrattan in a sumo suit again would be hilarious IMO.

Thoughts?
