I think Calgary has been living off a reputation as being physical and tough for a while and it's not entirely justified at this point. Sure, Phaneuf can level people when they aren't ready for it, but poke him back and he wilts. Iginla certainly is tough and a great player. Rheager is a pretty rugged defensemen. So, they have some physical players, but overall I don't seem them as a giant, bruising team that's going out out muscle everyone.
