It's interesting that in order to compensate for the lack of forward scoring talent, the Flames are activating their D and using the talent on the back end to help put pucks in the net.
The D have factored heavily into their last number of wins.
It's good because it's helping them collect wins, but hopefully the guys that should be putting up points figure that out so that the team doesn't need to rely on the D as much to contribute.
Lindholm, Mangiapane and Dube need to do more for this team offensively.
What the kids are doing right now to have success isn't complex. They're just going to the right places with urgency. The vets need to be less sheepish than they're being out there.
