The days of the LA Kings gooning it up in the 8th seed are gone. Hockey is about speed and skill, just as it is in the playoffs.

Grit is less about "gooning it up" and more about being able to fight through checks to generate the speed and space that is required to be successful in the playoffs.
I think the Flames lack speed in their top 6 for sure, but the grit is a huge part of it too. Guys aren't just going to let you get to the front of the net or skate up the ice without somebody back checking you hard.
