Soft like a cheese puff. A while back we had guys like Regehr, Iginla, Vandermeer, Sarich and Phaneuf. All guys who hit hard and weren't afraid to drop the gloves or get in the other teams face. While I think the personal we have doesn't allow for that style, that doesn't mean we can't have team toughness. The Flames lack it in spades. The only team I noticed that really seems to bring that element is when we play the Sharks. For some reason those games are always hard hitting and very physical. But more often then not, the Flames are a very soft team to play against.
