Not exact science but I think Tkachuk tips the scales more in one goal games than Laine and Schiefele do in 4 goal blowouts.

I still think the Jets were losing that series in 5 at best given the defense they had but losing your first line center 5 minutes into the series, one of your top goal scorers in the 3rd and what little 4th line depth you had with Appleton sunk them.
The Flames with Tkachuk bring that intangible few teams have, an absolute pest that makes you pay when you take stupid penalties against him or retaliate. As much as I hate Marchand, Tkachuk and Perry they have a craft few players do and that their fans love to have on their team.
