The truculent identity the Flames tried to have for so long became a huge negative for the organization.
The league was changing and we were one of the slowest to adapt because "Big, Western Canadian, Truculent".
The team has come a long way from being stuck on that useless identity.
Most players of that mold can't even stay in the league now or get skated around like fools by the faster game.
Bieksa is an idiot.
