The Flames have done a great job improving their physical presence: Forbort and Lucic are solid additions in that regard. Both would have led last year's team in hits. There's also Rinaldo as a deterrent too.
If only Johnny and Monahan can learn how to play again, the Flames might actually surprise some people. It's actually really disappointing that Johnny, with all the physical players to protect him, isn't playing more confidently.
