Those 5 guys right there is more truculence than what the Flames have now.
The Lightning were soft for years and went out and got tough and won the cup.
The Leafs have been soft for years and this offseason went out and got Simmonds, Bogosian and Thornton.
It's been a key ingredient for decades yet some posters on this board keep ignoring it and wanting the Flames to go all skill and small.

Gee, I thought they won because Kucherov, Hedman, Cirelli, Point etc., had dominating playoffs. But I guess it was their number 7 defenceman and other plugs won it for them.
