How did you arrive at these conclusions? Do you assume this on the basis of how these players carry themselves following games and in interviews?

Smith is a fiery guy; so is Tkachuk. Brodie is not, and neither is Stajan. They do not look outwardly the part, but that very often does not mean much of anything. "Hating to lose" is such a cliché when it comes to NHL players; its the same thing with criticizing the coach for his perceptibly dispassionate demeanour behind the bench. One does not get to play in this League without being extremely competitive and dedicated to their craft in the first place. Every NHL player and coach hates losing whether they wear it on their sleeve or not.
