Glennie, Hudler and Bollig are the only vets in our front 12 tonight.
At the beginning of the year if someone had said that the Flames would ice a forward group with only those three vets against Chicago - people would have expected a massacre.
The fact that we sit here today with expectations that if the Flames play their game they have a shot at a win tonite speaks volumes as to how quickly this young core is developing. (and obviously supported by veteran defence and netminding)
This development of a young core is an under-appreciated aspect of this organization. Props to the coaches, trainers, etc. who have brought this young talent along so quickly.
