The flames had way more guys who can hit and fight out there tonight... Team average size means nothing. Look at the flames biggest guy, Colborne, he may as well be Gaudreau's size (and he has half the talent). The Sedins are also not small guys but are non factors physically.
The Nucks had Dorsett and maybe two other guys who have any physical side at all in Kassian and Bieksa. The flames had 3 guys dressed who made the NHL primarily on fighting ability and quite a few more who can handle themselves.
Way too many flybys, Sutter as a GM sucked but he would never have tolerated that as a coach, which I miss. Finish your check... Every time. One play where there were shenanigans after the whistle, Glencross was almost sitting on the bench before they cut to commercial. Team skates and works hard all night but many of them still play like the Keenan era, don't want to go home to the family with any bruises at the end of the workday.
