it sure didn't seem like Calgary was intimidated at all to me... they fought back after getting behind early in the game and fought off a parade to the penalty box to even up the game late in the third after being down 3-1 on the road to the defending SC champs...
Calgary is only 0.5 lbs per person lighter than vegas while pittsburgh is 0.7 lbs heavily than calgary... Calgary is right in the middle 0.7 pounds off from being 15th in the league in weight.
the difference in that game wasn't a "reeves type" player, it was goaltending.
