I mean - I'll say this. We are a pretty chippy team. Definitely finish our checks. Definitely start shit after the whistle. Definitely have some guys that start shit *before* the whistle. We are - and you can ask yourself what this says about the NHL as a whole - probably one of the rougher teams to play in the NHL right now, and certainly in our division. Outside of us, you have Vegas who plays kind of like that (at least with any degree of success), Calgary a bit?, the Isles but mainly from their fourth line, the Caps, and the Stars.Kitten's GDT/post game thread is amusing to go through. Some comments are based in reality, but the majority claim we are floppers, cheap shot artists, whiners, and have the refs in our pocket. More reason to dislike them.

Nice back of the leg you got there.If they think we're petulant now, wait til Kucherov comes back
I still feel like almost everyone on their D corps is playing like... one spot higher than they should be outside of Ekblad. Add a number two to slide everyone down one spot and they look better probably.To be fair it’s easy to see that this Florida team is legit. In a way I’m even happy to see them do well. But they’ve looked great before and then went nowhere in the playoffs. That roster is solid and well balanced but they’ll need a couple more tweaks IMO. I’m totally not impressed with Yandle for example.

Also you have to be nervous about goaltending with a journeyman and BobIgot10millionsostoppingpucksisnowoptionalovsky. I also don't like their C depth after Barkov.
So they're a fairly talented, but flawed group. And some of those flaws (goaltending) are nearly impossible for them to fix.
That's all to say: they're a solid team. Feel like they've outperformed their talent by a good amount so far, but the feast or famine in this division has been to their benefit.
