I'll say it again: the point with size/grit isn't that you win by being the biggest (you don't), it's that you can't win if you aren't big/physical enough.
The Flames are small and soft. As long as that continues, they will continue to be dominated by teams like Anaheim and St Louis.

Didn't Pittsburgh already beat Washington with that contrast in styles? small/fast vs big/heavy?
