It's honestly nice to see so many fans hate the way the Flames play. I don't care if half the league thinks we're dirty it's better than being 10-ply pushovers.

This is a huge advantage that the Flames now have, and it really shines during the playoffs. I feel it was a big problem against Colorado last year.
Having Lucic, Rinaldo, Forbort, Bennett, and Tkachuk in today's NHL is a big plus. Finishing checks causes the opponent to cough up the puck and they also don't play as aggressively.
