That being said, you have the horses on the Flames to at least neutralize him at ES, but just havent done so.

He needs a shadow....no idea who that is, but its the Gretzky conundrum all over again 40 years later. Bob Jonson figured it out by using a couple different guys.

Darryls turn.
As I replied below it's a % issue.

With so many penalties called it's not the total five on five ice time it's the percentage of it.

A guy that plays 36% of the five on five minutes can't be matched by one guy.
