Just want to say: I don’t think the flames fall into what I described. They are a great skilled and heavy team. That’s a great way to build a team. I won’t say it but I am the word that starts with J.

Reread what I said. There was no tough vs. skilled style. I said you needed both. Now, you really don't need either. What you need is a couple guys that are really good on the PP and a couple guys willing to sacrifice their dignity and dive all over the ice to get those other couple of guys some PP time.
I really think you've lost the plot if you think ANYONE believes this current version of the Oilers is what fans want to see. And I'm embarrassed as a fan if we have to stoop to that level to get a couple of fans in markets that really have no bearing on the success of the NHL. I'm embarrassed this is even a debate - that you'd rather build and watch a ####ty product before trying to promote what has always considered the toughest and most gruelling championship run in ANY professional sport.
