Not thrilled with the signing, but at least nobody can say the Flames don't have an identity. With Sutter having a hand in some of the changes it can be said the Flames identity will be big, tough and in your face.

Whether that translates to on-ice success remains to be seen. But at least now the Flames DO have an identity.
After attending a season ticket holder live session with Burke and Treliving where Burke said we are going to play "black and blue Alberta hockey" I always thought it curious that they never actually tried to fulfill that vision. Could have been a throwaway comment (didn't feel that way though) or they pivoted away from that belief for some reason - but it stood out to me as some degree of confusion or inability to execute on the part of management.

So here we are 6 years later fulfilling that vision.

I feel better about our offseason moves now after watching the Netflix show on the Danbury Trashers.
