I am going to be interested to see what happens when the first losing streak hits. Are the same guys who fold it up early going to stick it out? Or are they going to give up again when the going gets tough?
That is character/culture that didn't change in Calgary until the team was wholesale nuked and reset. Lots of players up North have been around a long time and told winning isn't everything.
