That said the first line will be factor in us moving on. Secondary will dry up eventually.

This is the closest Flames playoff squad I've seen to that iteration of the Flames.
Sacrifice everything defensively, extremely opportunistic, grinding, hitting, fighting in the trenches. War of attrition hockey. One thing for sure is even though its not always pretty, it's far more effective in the post season.
Shades of the ginger bearded guy from Talbot too (if that save on Seguin doesn't give you flashbacks I don't know what will).
