Another beating for me. Looks like I'll hold on to the #1 spot though. Come back Spezza - we love you!

[mrboo123]

not a good week for me. Guess thats what happens when you vs Kipper and your main goalie is out

[joncha]

My goalies tanked this week, but my skaters have more than made up for it.

Since starting the season 3-7-2, the Flames are 21-8-2.

Rampage!

In light of Marc-Andre Bergeron's hilariously bad play this year...

From last year...

That kid is gonna kill ya in the future, if he hasn't already.

The greatest thing about watching the Oil this year is thinking we might actually keep these kids. If we do, they're gonna break some hearts.

Other wisdom from the same thread on Morrison:

Morrison isn't complaining about being pulled after 2 goals on 3 shots.

He's young. He'll bounce back.

With a new #2 closing in on you, you can't have too many bad weeks

Here's too a few more bad weeks by you and a few more good weeks by me to get me back in the #1 position where I belong.

Yeah, I suppose 9th in goals, 7th in points, 11th in +/- (2nd among the Dmen, your holy stat) on the team is really horrible for a third year dman.

And I still think the Oilers have a good group of young players. Since I wrote that they've added Lupul and Smid as well. In fact, the future's so bright I'm looking to buy shares in sun-glasses manufacturers.

And?

[Asher]

He bounced back fo' sho.

And M-A Bergeron has been terrible except on the Powerplay.

11th on the team, with a minus +/-...yes, he'll be killing the Flames soon.

Did you see his brutal play last game at all? A dandy giveaway, too.

At what point will people in Edmonton get their rude awakening?

Lupul and Smid have been brutal this year. Bergeron's been awful as well.

Watching the Sportsnet broadcasts are surreal. They gush about players like Lupul, Smid, Bergeron, and Hemsky who are all medicore at best, and this season have ranged from spectacularly poor to middle-of-the-road-Euro-player. Look at Bergeron's age. He's no longer a kid or a rookie anymore and he's still a 3rd pairing d-man on a team with awful defensive depth. Lupul is a team-worst +/-. Smid is just invisible when he's not giving the puck away.

The future is bright indeed.

I'm sort of curious where this hard-on for Marc-Andre is coming from all of a sudden.

As for the rest of the blather, everyone is entitled to make an ass of themselves. Carry on, sir.

[Asher]

Mostly from reading lots of Oilers fans crying about how brutal he's been all season. Then I remembered your comment.

[notyoueither]

There are Oilers fans who've been on him since the Roli incident in the SCF last year, and a lot fewer from before that.

There are others who like him. I'm one of those. I like his skating. I like his shot. I like his play for the most part. I think he still needs to improve to live up to his potential, but he's certainly worth some patience.

[Asher]

Lupul's a reallll nice skater as well.

[Asher]

Also,

Are you sure that's not to shield your eyes from the glare of the goal light behind Rollie?

[notyoueither]

Yes, I'm quite sure.

[Asher]

There must be some kind of mistake!

Ales Hemsky is not in the NHL YoungStars or AllStar team. Huh.
