Yet Glass last year. The team made a big deal about his standing up to Lucic etc late. They have Prout and Peluso hanging around. Do the players in interviews say they need this? Do they talk about playing their game when they know Calgary has an answer to the Lucic's of the world?
To me that has to be the case or it wouldn't make any sense at all.
At least it's also an organization that has gone skill over size big time in drafting of late ... and that's certainly the story of this camp with Czarnik, Dube and Mangiapane all making noise.

IIRC they had the rough and tough types both together and after BT left Arizona.
I think of Carcillo and Bissonette etc.....of course that thinking may have changed the last 3 years or so.
