I think if the questions of if a team has an identity a quarter into the season, you already have the answer for that team already. It's just not a good one.

I think every team in this league has an identity. I can’t imagine a prospective coach going into an interview with no selling point. The Flames under Hartley was hard work. That team would never cheat the work that’s for sure. Even Ottawa and Vancouver share a similar identity. Obviously not this season for the Canucks, but their work ethic has been improving. Once their top players figure it out, this team will be fine. Toronto is highly skilled, Montreal is smaller team, but quick and hard checking.
For the record, I do think the Flames have an identity, but the biggest problem I have is I’m not sure this team is built to play out the identity.
