The Flames system is to score more goals than they let in. The forwards are not supposed to prevent goals.

Here is the Flames scoring stats extrapolated over an 82 game schedule:

player , , Pts82 , , Goals82
Mike Cammalleri, LW , , 63 , , 27
Jarome Iginla, RW† , , 58 , , 24
Alex Tanguay, LW , , 58 , , 22
Curtis Glencross, LW , , 55 , , 34
Lee Stempniak, RW , , 55 , , 16
Jiri Hudler, LW , , 53 , , 17
Matt Stajan, C , , 51 , , 11
Dennis Wideman, D , , 44 , , 11
Mikael Backlund, C , , 41 , , 22
Jay Bouwmeester, D#† , , 37 , , 15
Roman Cervenka, C , , 33 , , 14




1 30 goal scorer , 5 20+ goal scorers, 7 players over 50 pts

Hudler is having a near career year 53 pts is better than last years 50 and close to his 57 he had in 08-09

Stempniak's 55 points is a career year.... He got 52 in 06-07 and 48 in 09-10

Wideman had 50 pts in 08-09 with Boston and 46 last year His 44 is a great year for him

Stajan's 51 points is with striking distance of his career year of 57 that earned him his long term contract.

Try to point out the player that you expected to do better....... The only guy I see having an off year stats wise is Iginla.

I think that this team would totally dominate the Swiss league that Hartley is coaching this team to be.

My biggest question is why the biggest best checking centre in the system , Blair Jones, the only person in that type in the organization, is playing in the AHL? He got 11 games at 8:51 / game in the NHL before he was banished.

When did Hartley and Feaster start the drive for a lottery pick.

I think that we have enough skilled scorers to be a playoff team. The question is how hard will it be to find 4-5 Blair Jone's type's to win some hockey games.
