There are pretty much two types of teams that usually win the Cup. The team with elite talent and the team that are deep and play a heavy game. So anytime teams like Boston, LA, St Louis, Vegas, are brought up as teams that won a cup with arguably less superstar talent, those teams seemed to have all played a similar style. That style is not one I can see the Flames being able to emulate with their roster.
