New England has waaaaay more talent among the youth. Only place in the US that even comes close to the OHL, QMJHL, or WHL.

Doesn't Minnesota have the most per-capita hockey players or something?

You all know Brian Burke is working furiously behind the scenes to fix what ails these Leafs. Thats the difference between him and all the other pretender GMs- Brian Burke never rests. Most GMs would just sit back with the comfort of knowing that their team was only 2 points out of a playoff spot, but not double-B.

Thats why he gets paid the big bucks.

Thats why hes the man.

Thats why hes the legend.

Thats why hes Brian Burke.

It seems the more work Burke does, the worse he makes the situation. The Kessel deal has blown up in his face like I thought it would the minute he made it. I predicted Boston would get a lottery pick last year, and before this season started I predicted bottom 7 in the league (may wind up being another lottery pick).

Burke has made the same mistakes his predecessor's made, overestimated the quality of players on the team and went for the quick fix.

This franchise will easily hit the 50th anniversary without a cup (or finals appearance). I have no doubt about that.

WOW! Subban got his first regular season goal... on the PP assisted by Markov. :tup:
This Subban is an absolute GEM... I have never seen defenseman do all those spironama's so easily around other players...

The only other defenseman that kind of reminds me of Subban is Doughty... hopefully he will be as good one day.:tup:

Carey Price is playing like a 5th overall pick...:cool:

You're so funny...

Schenn is 21, the same age as Subban while Kadri is only a year younger.

uhhh Flames played slow last night, didn't make good passes, and when one of their players played it in the center, no one was there to see it. Kipper didn't play too well, and Bourque was their player last night, as he is on other games. I'm glad that Iggy is on the 4th line right now too.

They also benched Tanguay for at least the half of the game.

Oh and the Coyotes fans don't know when to cheer. I heard a fan cheer when the Coyotes iced the puck in the middle of the game.

Well, now that Sutter has officially decided to try the Keenan coaching style, it's gonna be fun watching this team completely crater.

Ah well, I can't really afford 4 rounds of playoff tickets anyway.

Outside of 2004 and 1989, how many times have the flames ever made more than 1 round of playoffs anyways?
Iginla is all washed up, I doubt he'll ever return to form in Calgary. He needs a new team if he has any hope to bring it back.
Kipper is at best mediocre this year and outside of Tanguay, the flames are a bunch of hacks at best.

Yup, just like the Oil, the 80s were good to us - and it's been shit since. We can all enjoy laughing at the Canucks and Leaves though; at least we've both won a cup in the past 4 decades. Plus made it to the final in the past 15 years.

Schenn was drafted in 2008, Kadri 2009, while Subban was drafted in 2007. There's a reason for that- relative age. Relative ages are more important than calendar years. You wouldn't say someone born in January 2009 is the same age as someone born in December 2009.

Subban is only younger. I remember last season you told me Spacek was better than Kaberle. You're always good for a laugh, Nicko. I wonder what player you'll latch onto next season?

You're full of it. Schenn was always compared to the likes of Foote and Stevens, never Phaneuf. His game is completely different.

Schenn has been awesome this season. Only 20 and already playing like a seasoned vet. He's smart, composed, and is showing some offensive instinct too. He's going to be a star. He's would be on the top pairing of most teams, including Montreal.

Leafs and Canucks are tied for most player nominations for the All Star Game out of the 6 Canadian teams. Both have 4 players on the ballot. Montreal, Ottawa, and Calgary have 3. Edmonton has 2.

Where are Price and Plekanec?

Price this season: 9-5-1, .923 sv%, 2.19 GAA, 2 SO.

Plekanec had 70 pts last season... and is currently on pace for 76 pts this season.

I'd discuss it with you, except I'm as mystified as anyone. MLSE has unlimited buckets of money, Toronto is a city where most players would love to play - and yet they continue year after year to ice really really shitty teams. Occasionally the Leaves manage a semi-mediocre team, and then it's back to missing the playoffs and a complete rebuild. I don't really have any answers other than to speculate on whether or not there's a curse involved.

Well, that and the Toronto fanbase and media anoints a new saviour every year. Who invariably chokes within 2 seasons and is traded away, only to fade into obscurity. But I can't blame everything on a single guy, it's the team that stinks. I do feel sorry as all hell for Kadri and MacCarther though. As the latest anointed ones, they're guaranteed to have ruined careers by 2013. Has Kadri even played a game in the NHL yet? Poor kid.

How were the Oilers better in 2006? Didn't the Flames win the division? I think the Oilers got hot at the right time, and rode that to game 7 of the SCF. But if it wasn't for a few late trades and the canucks going on a massive losing streak and a few Oiler wins, the Oilers would not have made the playoffs that year. Had the Oilers been able to keep that team together though, it could've had another good year or two after...

On what planet? No, seriously, I'd love some of what you're smoking.

Every Flames fan in this city has been ripping the team for months and in many cases years now. Stop hanging out with 16 year olds and maybe you'll get some actual opinion.

Nah. It's not hard to be an Albertaphobe. Just ignore any rational mode of thought, and spew vitriol towards anything related to Alberta.

Implying they're the same person almost means that it takes some sort of brain or individual creativity to do it. Sadly, like most 'phobes of anything, this isn't the case.

Besides, as I've already pointed out, I'm pretty sure even Sconadian had the brains to realize that it doesn't always pour rain in deserts. Also, he'd generally have the courtesy to come up with some half-baked answer to that, this one just stutters and spouts the equivalent of "your Mom is Alberta" jokes.

Alright so if you support your team when it's doing bad you're cocky and if you only support them when they're doing good you're a bandwagoner? Seems like a lose-lose situation.

Speaking of cocky, have the Canucks won that cup they're supposed to have won every year for the past 5? Have they even made it past the 2nd round of the playoffs?

Hard as you try, we're not going to feel bad about regularily making it to the second round (which Calgary hasn't done since '04) and losing to the eventual Cup winners (which we've done twice in the past four years).

Seriously, what the fuck, guys?

Now that's the Price we expected when we drafted him... I'm surprised to see Price being so mature...

CANADIENS' PRICE NAMED NHL FIRST STAR OF THE WEEK

NEW YORK -- Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price was named NHL first star of the week Monday after winning three straight games last week.

Price had one shutout and posted a 1.00 goals-against average and .970 save percentage over the stretch.

Pittsburgh Penguins centre Sidney Crosby was named second star and Washington Capitals left-winger Alexander Semin took the third star.

Crosby and Semin had eight points apiece last week.

I'd like to kick Avery in the face with a skate on.

I would love to see a guy like Carcillo mangle his face. Or see Bertuzzi mangle the back of his head.

In other news, Colin Campbell is a piece of shit and should be fired:

Winning a cup at least once > never winning the cup.

If you were a Flames fan you'd be acutely aware of how badly this team has sucked in recent years.

I'm a nucks fan and I am waiting for someone to place this cup of stanley's into my hands. I will wait as long as I have to.

P.S. Good things come to those who are patient. :D

Alright folks, move on from the back and forth. It's getting silly.

It's hard to defend the Flames right now, especially when I'm not even sure this team will last through the end of the year. I think the entire team and organizational structure needs to get shaken up. Ken King tried, but by not firing Sutter I think he should get his walking papers too.

There's a reason why there aren't a lot of Canucks fans posting here. Everytime they post something Canucks, Albertan hockey fans get all aggressive about it.

Really? Not to flog a dead horse or anything, but this most recent spat started quite clearly from some unprompted Alberta-bashing.

If I could ever see a Canucks fan actually post something positive about their team, without trying to turn it into a "we're better than you, nyah nyah nyah", I might change my tune. ;)

The funniest part about all of this is that the majority of the Flames/Oil bashing comes from people in those same cities. We're fully aware of and admit when our teams stink, which is something I can't easily say for other cities.

I do find it odd that there doesn't appear to be a single Sens fan here.
