The Hawks have 2 players with a low RGI as you noted.... you will note that Kane and Teravainen are not put out on the same line often if ever.
even Richards and Keith delivered just under a hit a game in the playoffs.
The Hawks did win the championship... they wore down a smaller no-contact Tampa team that would not have made it out of the West.
As to who looked after Kane and Teravininen's not getting run out of the rink....
Andrew Desjardins
Andrew Shaw
Antoine Vermette
Brandon Saad
Brent Seabrook
Bryan Bickell
Jonathan Toews
Marian Hossa
Patrick Sharp
a lot of top-6 guys on that list who averaged around 2 hits each and every Hawk playoff game... Seabrook is also on the ice for half the game and is more intimidating than any d-man the Flames have.
The Hawks top-6 , similar to the Ducks top-6 would physically dominate , if not outright bully and scare the Flames top-6 of
Gaudreau, Monahan, Hudler, Colborne, Bennett and Frolick.
Hartley would not let that happen and Ferland or Jones or Bouma would get time on the top-6 to even things out a bit.
