That's not really what I said or even mean. The Flames get pushed around. It doesn't mean Gaudreau doesn't have a spot on the team or isn't a fit here, he is a great talent and can be that skill. But you don't go building a team of Gaudreau's. You need a mix of skill, talent, grit and toughness.
So maybe size isn't the issue (it sort of is when you play Anaheim though)- but perhaps what I mean is more toughness. More of a 'hate' to getting pushed around. So many times you look at them getting shoved without pushing back. Monahan for example is a shrinking violet. I haven't seen that guy get angry, basically ever.
They just didn't seem to really stick up for each other often, or fight back much.
