dominating other team's bottom lines the way we hadn't had a good bottom pair all year.

Schlemko averaged 12:39 as a Flame while being a new guy having the stigma of being a waiver pickup.

, seriously for those 20+ games of Gio's injury Engelland was a standout

Well, I disagree about him standing out. He was hanging on by a thread.

I'm much happier to have had Engelland there than anyone else and hes going to be in the top 7 going into this season because of that versatility.
