Much more is expected from Backlund, Ryan and Jankowski, and they have failed to deliver for 3 games now.

Hopefully, Mangiapane sparks the second line. However, if that doesn't occur, then for me, it means having a star winger in Tkachuk isn't enough for Backlund to establish a solid 2 line offensively, and he requires another elite guy on the right side. In which case, I again question whether Backlund is suitable to play the role of a 2C on a playoff/contending team in this league. I'm willing to give him a pass, given the whispers of injury going into the season, but he's got to be a lot better.

Don't get me started on Ryan and Jankowski. They have offered little to the team, especially jankowski who's actually been a liability when on the ice for the only role he's really been provided which is the PK.
Two things:

1) it's been 3 games. Randomly pick any 3 games from last year (or any year), and analyse who played well. There will be one or two lines that a re hot, and the other two will have done nothing. Rarely is the whole team going at one. The only difference is that during the first 3 games of the season, there are no other periods to compare against.

2) regarding Backlund, check out the thread I just started (also, I think his injury has probably contributed to the slow start)

Tis the season of October, where everything gets blown out of proportion over a very small sample size.

Re: point 1

Fair point on the sample size. I guess I am generally concerned about our offensive depth beyond the top line. I suppose last game provided flashes from the 2nd line. That being said, it's been 3 games where there has been very little to show from lines 3/4.

Here is the link to Enoch's thread:

Ranking and Discussing the Top 6

Check it out first, and then worry about offensive depth beyond the top line.

Flames will 100% lose this game. They do not beat Dallas. Take the Stars by the goal and a half.

It's a win-win.

I can never bring myself to bet against my team. Not even when they were crap and were playing a great team.

Someone be sure to tell the flames, Centre ice puck drop means the game has started.

Don't have a lot of hope going into this one.
Dallas seems to have our number.
