Now they know he’s only average speed and they can play a little tighter to him.
I think Dube and Mangiapane are pretty fast but then again, I’m comparing them to other Flames.
I know the Flames have used a skating coach from time to time but I think they could really use sending some of these guys to skating school for the whole off season. Especially Tkachuk.

I think the one thing we all agree on most: Treliving is absolutely dead wrong. The answer is not in the room. And if he really believes it is then he is lost.
