Agree with most of your points of your points except Bouma and Comeau, they weren’t that good haha. I think Byron would be a better example

I don't think they were that skilled either, but they brought an intensity to their game that is lacking. They were hard to play against, especially Bouma, much more than what we are getting this year. Totally agree with Byron as a skilled bottom 6 guy, but when you talk about Sutter type teams being successful it is due to getting hard nosed hockey out of the bottom 6. Hathaway for his first 10 games showed it, but otherwise the bottom of the Flames lineup has not seemed all that difficult to play against.
If those guys aren't going to score then they should at least be making the opposition's life miserable. I just haven't seen that this year. Even in the bottom pairing, and I like Kulak and Stone, but no one brings the fear of standing in front of the net than a guy like Engelland did.
