These are all pretty tough customers... and then you have guys like Ryan, Dube, Lindholm, etc who are scrappy guys and put up with a lot of stuff and are still really effective players.

Johnny is easy to focus on for some teams but I think putting Tkachuk and Lindholm on an entirely separate "top line" makes it a lot harder for teams to devote all their energy to stopping one single scoring unit.
Flames aren't physical and rarely try to engage in that type of game. It's cute That they think they can just turn into that kind of team come playoffs, but they have no idea how to be a tough team to play against.
