6 games without an offensive zone start, playing the opposing top line, every situation and still putting points on the board night in night out. Hell forget points, the line drives the team, the passion, the compete level. Don't get me wrong, the Flames need the flash and talent in the youngsters, but the heart of this team beats because of guys like Backlund, Giordano, Stajan and Engelland.
