On NHL Network, they are discussing the top teams and what they need. With respect to the Flames, obviously they talked goaltending. And one guy says Smith fits the Flames because he is gritty, and that is their identity.

It is amazing how long perceptions can persist, long after they are applicable. How can any professional hockey analyst think the Flames identity is grit?
Did you hear the SJ commentators after the Bennett hit, they referred to it as Flames hockey, something like rough, dirty and edgy. It's like they think this is still the 04 team.
