To me the Flames are extremely soft. I think this team gets pushed around a lot and they seem to be intimidated by other teams more than they intimidate other teams. I don't agree with saying guys like Backlund are tough, sure they can stand up for themselves and don't back down but they aren't the kind of player to intimidate other teams. I think the Flames lack guys who push around the other team. The more I think about it, the more I think Lucic would be a great fit on this team. The Flames don't have someone who can push the other team around and make them look over their shoulder, there are guys like Gio who can make big hits or a guy like Ferland that can stir the pot but they lack a guy who will just physically dominate along the boards or in scrums.

This isn't to say that the Flames are pushovers because they stand up for themselves, but they never really seem to be the team that's pushing the other team over.
