Backlund takes the tough matchups in a checking role...chips in offensively. He had 4 more points than Monahan who was injured the entire season and missed some games.
Flames plan to roll 3 lines...I don't care how much they make if the shut down the other team and chip in.
Yes, Mangi and Dube are getting a chance to step up in a more offensive role
Seems obvious to me
