just found the reaction to the washington game overblown...especially as Calgary fought its way back into that game despite being down 3-1 on the road...

that's the opposite of being intimidated imo....people talk like Washington was running them out of the barn. This team is pretty resilient imo even against bigger teams that play heavier games
Think we are basically agreeing. I don’t think the reason Calgary lost the game was because they were intimidated. However, I do think that the game exposed a weakness. And if we play to stay contenders and not become pretenders I personally would like to see us add someone who can play big minutes and can fight and dish out hits. In the playoffs when it’s do or die teams like ours get exposed as we don’t have enough physical pushback and get pummeled. Regular season is a long stretch and guys aren’t as willing to lay it all on the line as they are when it’s playoffs. Adding someone to raise our intensity level should be a no brainer.
