Bad hands? Then why is Blake Coleman the Flames’ leading goal scorer?

“On _The Chase_ too, I couldn’t believe it. Or maybe they cut it out to save me,” Coleman said with a playful shake of his head. “He was just making a point that you can still score goals without having elite hands in this league. So me and Huby, every time I score now, we just kind of stare at our hands in disbelief.”
