I know it is a more difficult position to master at a young age, but I hope the young D do what Jooris, Gaudreau, Bennett et al. did and force the team to keep them up. If any of Engelland/Smid/RFA guys are sat down, traded or sent to Stockton, so be it. As well as the team played in the absence of Gio, the Flames still need to improve greatly on the back end (physically, defensively, not so much offensively) to become a real powerhouse.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
