That leaves you with one legit first liner and 3 borderline top 6 guys to score most of your goals. And the proof is in the pudding. The Canucks 2nd line has scored more than any combination of a "top line" for the Flames that you can possibly make, and that would only be if Iginla wasn't playing with plugs like Conroy because he has no chemistry with anyone else.

hagman is in his 3rd straight 20 goal season, and bourque is capable of ~65 pts. those are 2nd liner numbers no matter what team.

really, with skills (combine with a bit of grit) like that, i'd say he belongs on a second line.

Some 54 year old Flame fan with a crazy accent is ripping Sutter another hole on Flames radio right now, he wants to knock Sutter out if he sees him in person. LOL.

I love Kesler but I ill find it hard to have the same respect for him if this is true. It's easy to call for taking discounted salaries when it applies to others but if you refuse to do the same when it's your turn it does say something about character.

That's what we need everybody to do," said Kesler. "If we're going to win the Cup, we need guys to take pay cuts. The way the salary cap is now, you really can't get what you're worth now if you want to win. Everybody in this locker room knows that and for us to be a great team going forward, we're going to have to take a pay cut."

Even if these guys are second liners, they still don't have anyone to play with iggy on the first line.

Some say, Iggy is untouchable, regardless, hes got a NTC.

But judging by tonights flames game, it does look like the game has picked up speed for the flames and watching them gun vs the flyers looks like they are the real deal here.

I dont think Iginla is going to waive that NTC, he bleeds CALGARY and im sure everyone would agree. I can see ATL trading with the flames ONLY if Iginla was part of the package. This would seriously shake up the rest of the team and the IMPACT will be HUGE.

The Atlanta deal will be a trade that will see more impact than the Phanuef trade. There is no doubt on this, but how many playoff teams are willing to make the big move for Kovie? I can only picture the Hawks that have enough PROVEN assets to land Kovie. Of course, this is a very shallow view of the situation

And as tegra_devil, all the so called "fans" should really look up to this guy. True insights and true to heart. I will honesty say I have not seen much true pride towards their hometown team anywhere in Vancouver for a while now

western conference should be interesting

Harvey Specter 02-02-2010 03:15 AM

FYI, the Canucks game will be on RDS/RDS HD today. I ordered the PPV game anyways but for people who have RDS you can watch it on there.

Halak is the starting goalie tonight, he is pretty good playing against Vancouver.

Greenstoner 02-02-2010 12:09 PM

I know someone who ordered RDS to "try to remember French language again", watched the game, listened on 1040 and called the next day to cancel saying he "gave up on re-learning the language". I think the game cost him less than $.90 lol

WAS > BOS - 1.70
VAN > MTL - 1.70
COL > CBJ - 1.65
CGY > CAR - 1.65
PHI > EDM - 1.75

Edm already won last night. Lightning doesn't strike twice. ;)
I think Carolina might be Calgary though. The flames just lost Olli and added some new players. I think it is going to take them a few more games to learn each other's play.

Sorta like how the twins know where each other are. They've been playing together for all their lives so they have a good idea about that.
