Threads like this illustrate why Flames fans really aren't much different than Oilers fans. They thought that guys like Greene and Stoll were plugs and weren't needed because their skilled guys were going to take them to the promised land. Moral of the story is that you need good role players that aren't sexy but effective depth and solid special teams contributors. Can't just ice a lineup of skilled players and expect them to be able to effectively play all the roles.
