All other lines GF 11 GA 8
3 lines killing time waiting for the big line to win the game
I think that the teams that play the Flames more than twice a year would be making plans to shut the big line down.

I'm hoping Coleman can break out and pot the occasional goal. I do think the organization was banking on him at last being a 20 goal player based on his output in past seasons. I think the Backlund, Coleman, Mangiapane line has been decent possession-wise but there's not really a playmaker on the line as they are all shooters and it's not produced as much as you would hope from a 2nd line. Mangiapane is having a great season but he seems to score no matter who he's playing with and Coleman and Backlund have been pretty cold offensively.
