I suppose some of that can be attributed too the fact they have lead a total of 5 minutes all season, but still its not a recipe for any kind of success.

It's amped up but it's not new.
Last year's data ...
Edmonton
Top Fwd +2.4
Top 2 Fwds +5.3
Top 3 Fwds +6.5
Top 4 Fwds +8.2
Top 5 Fwds +10.3
Calgary
Top Fwd +0.0
Top 2 Fwds -0.5
Top 3 Fwds -1.0
Top 4 Fwds -1.6
Top 5 Fwds -2.5
Biggest change for Calgary this year is the third line ... they were flat last year and no up in ice time so the fourth line in Calgary played more than the average fourth line.
Through three games this year the third line is taking ice from the top six and the bottom three.
