Not sure why he doesn't get more love for being the only skater that showed up against the Avs last playoffs.

Yes he was the best player for the flames against the avs, but that is not saying much. I do like his physical play come playoff time, but i get the sense some of you think come playoff time he becomes the next Wendal Clark. Come playoff time he looks like what you want out of your 3rd line player. He certainly does not become the skill of a 1st line player.
I would like him for the playoffs this year, but if he needs to be put in a package to get a true top 6 player for the playoffs, they have to do it.
