Who doesn't play well with Backlund and Frolik?   Hell try Lazar out. 
I have been asking to see Tkachuk with Bennett and Jankowski all season. I would really like to see more too.

Sure, but does Smith remind you of Turek?

			I forgive Jonas Hiller for that second season.  He was just doing the Flames a solid making sure they could draft Tkachuck.

Lomberg is such a feel good story, good to see a young man who is so happy just to be there. Nice contrast from the millionaire players who take the occasional game off because they know their place is safe. Hope he gets enough time in to make the coin to secure his future.

			Matthew is the real deal. It's so fun watching him play. The kid can turn a game In our favor in one shift. We finally have a piss ant player who can piss off the other team and can also put up points. I haven't seen that kind of determination from a Flames player since Fleury.

			I thought that Bennett had one of his best games all year. I really like what that line has brought since getting called out by the coach. GG making a withdrawal from the "account" that has really paid off.
