At any rate, I don't mind Tkachuk acting up and going 'over that line' sometimes. No more headbutts I hope, but he is a player that just plays right on that edge, and if he can get away with it, he will go over that edge without hesitating, hoping that the other team responds over that edge as well.
It really is working, and it is nice to have some emotion in the games again.

If Poirer uses his speed and edge at the NHL level, he could be a regular in the Flames line-up. The Flames could have themselves a 2011-12 Bruins-type roster if some of our edgy players pan out
