So when we say "soft" what are we talking about?
I find this edition of the Canucks hard to dislike. Guys like Hughes, Pettersson, Boeser and Horvat are fun to watch.

When I say soft, I was referring to a lack of players that will be right in the thick of it when a game gets rough. We’ve seen it happen, even with the Flames in the past. A team would get physical with us and own us after the whistles and we would disappear. These days games don’t get as chippy as often as they used to but I’m glad to know that when it happens, we have guys that won’t shy away from it
