The Flames seem to be content playing soft. Not much pride.

We are 30th in the league for player size (fact).

This has been a theme since Jay decided to take over. God help us if we even sniff the playoffs, there is no way we can stand up to any of the physical teams in the West. LA would destroy us in a 7 game series.

We're actually kind of lucky we aren't in the East with Philly, NYR and Boston. But we will have our hands full.

Feaster has successfully built a ringette team.

It isn't just the fights, it is the battling, compete and physicality.

If Iggy doesn't score soon, he will start throwing. He likes being the leader of this team.

What baffles me even more than Feaster's assembly of this team is Weisbrod. This crap would not be tollerated by fans media or ownership in Boston where he was hired from.
Weisbrod knows you can't build a soft small team and expect to be successful.

Toughness is one thing I agree is always needed, but the first place Pens have 2 fighting majors this season.

I'd rather see him throw a body check instead of waving his stick at the puck.

That Jackman fight was terrible. I don't see the excitement in a hockey fight. 99% of them are hugging matches.

I'd love if they banned fighting. Taking the biggest headshot out of the game can only be a positive.

I got to feel for Jackman. He's got the toughest job in sports and he hardly gets to win. He'd be fine as a secondary tough but as the main guy, nope.

If we had a winning fighter, I think a lot more fans would enjoy it.
