It's not like our offence is stagnant on D ~ the top D point getter at this time is Klingberg with 7 goals and 47 assists 54 points.
Dougie ~ 14 G / 24 A / 38 Pts (9th) among D
Giordano ~ 9 G / 22 A / 31 Pts (25th) among D
Brodie ~ 4 G / 23 A / 27 Pts (41st) among D
Are they under performing? Sure they are ~ but the Flames have also been noticeably more dominant in 1 goal games this year than Hartley was in them; sure we had all those exciting comebacks that one year but past that the two seasons that saw us draft Monahan and Tkachuk were riddled with us not being able to go toe to toe in one goal games.
If the Flames have a better power play in the first half of this season GG looks a lot better than he does right now ~ we are like 4 wins off of being in a dominant spot at this point and I can think back to many loses this year that we should have won and played well enough to win.
This team isn't as far off as some think IMO.
