Dude should be on the wing.

Bull####!!! What is the other option? Sam ####ing Bennett??? The guy with the worse +/- on the team? Sam Bennett can't check his hat when he goes out for drinks, let alone trying to play a defensive role in the NHL. Jankowski has provided a level of stability on his line that allows you throw them out there and know you aren't getting outscored when he is on the ice.

That is Joel Otto style in the sense of having 10 fingers and 10 toes and wearing a helmet, I suppose.

Here we go. Five game sample versus an 82 game sample. #### the playoffs. The whole team shat the bed. The whole team. When Mike Smith and Sam Bennett are the standouts on your roster that means the whole team messed the sheets. Neither of those standouts would be on the Flames IMO (one isn't!), and I would call the playoffs the failure it is. To suggest the five game playoff set is an indicator of anything is gross ignorance of the performance of the team. I'm so sick of hearing about the playoffs meaning anything. They don't, and if Treliving believes they do and reacts based on those five games I want his head as a manager of the franchise.
