The top two lines producing (which in the history of the Flames has been a rarity) has allowed the team to go from a bubble team to a legitimate playoff team.
If our third line forwards would play up to their potential 5 on 5 then we'd have elite team depth, unquestionably. It's really too bad. There's two guys that can put up 40 and young Bennett who scored 18 last season. Need them to kick those monkeys to the curb in time for playoffs. If they do then I really like our chances of seeing more than a round. If not, then it'll be tough.
Contenders have weapons 3 lines deep. I hope those guys understand how instrumental they can be to the team's success if they can turn it on.
