This team has the persistence and work-ethic that we haven't seen in many, many years. It is such a treat to watch.
I do think they are missing some 'swagger' though. Not sure if it is just a lack of 'meanness' or not, but I do wish they had a bit more swagger.
Case in point - after Giordano had that huge open-ice hit, he was immediately met by someone who put his hands on him (though barely really). No other Flame rushed over 'just in case' though. Not really the best example off the top of my head, but enough to kind of get the gist of my point. Just wish they had a bit more swagger. Not sure if it is a product that comes from 'truculence' or 'being mean enough'. That swagger I think is missing.
