Go ahead and cheer for purely offence; that's all good. But there are other, integral, parts to a team, and I for one love watching guys like Reinhart play. That he has history with his father makes it an even neater experience.

Really important point. Everyone knows that the Flames have sorely lacked a true #1 center, but they've also been lacking a good defensive center/faceoff guy who can chip in some goals. It's an important role.
