The Flames have taken 242 shots with Mangiapane on the ice, they have scored 16 goals....he has scored 10 of those himself on 58 shots.

Meaning his linemates have shot 3.26% with him on the ice...that is a ridiculously low percentage and his assist would be much higher if his linemates had any finish.

This team should really be rolling with:

Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk: 60.8% xGF
Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman :66.3% xGF

As a legitimately strong top 6 that can generate chances and both lines play a strong 200ft game.

Problem is they can't do that because Monahan, Dube, Lucic, Lewis, Richardson, Ritchie, Pitlick would be a pretty ugly bottom 6, no matter how you deploy them.


IMO the goal heading into the playoffs should be to let those two lines stay together and continue to dominate when on the ice together. While trying to rebuild a serviceable bottom 6 , replacing at least 2 of the guys listed above.

Yeah right now...he was on pace for 50 goals at one point. Lets see where it ends up
