The Flames when they have the puck are hard to play against, but they rarely have the puck for a plethora of reasons.
The Flames can be punishing at times, except you watch all 82 games and every small instance where they don't is forefront in your opinion.
If stats like size and hits are useless then generic anecdotes are way, WAY more useless because they are seeped in expectation bias.

This post is really lame. I expect a little more from you. Your argument here is that I only see what I want to see. Super. Well played.
You argue that I am being biased. Then you state that they DO stand up for each other, they DO battle hard, they ARE hard to play against and they ARE punishing. Yet you offer absolutely nothing but your own opinion to back it up. Good thing you're not biased!
As to the team size stat - you, as someone very committed to the statistical side of the game, should understand as well as anyone that team size is an
average stat. A LOT of information gets lost in averages. I don't care how big the goalie is. I don't care how big the 4th line guy that plays 5 minutes is.
Taking 2 groups of 23 guys and telling me one is larger on average than the other tells me almost nothing about those two groups.
