Most of the players on the Flames forward lines were fundamentally strong two way players. The Flames also tended to target players with strong character and determination and desire to win.
So yeah, even with a different coach they'd at least have some defensive drive.
You can blame Eakins for a lot, but Hall was a terrible two way player before Eakins arrived on the scene.
