This season Gio and Hamonic are not hitting on a regular basis. Hamonic stopped hitting right after he got hurt in the fight with Gudbranson the start of last season.
There would be only one team in the whole league that would not go into a playoff series with the Flames planning on physically imposing their will on the Flames.
Carolina would look at the Flames and figure they were just so much faster that they wouldn't have to beat up on the Flames.
