Fantasy Hockey - Playoff Race

HockeyFights' ratings aren't done by pundits, they're done by voters...

[notyoueither]

Yeah. 10 voters, all of whom were in the Saddlesore... This makes me think they are completely unbiased... or not.

Here's a fan opinion.

All the Edmonton guys are good but there aren't many...and all will be in Edmonton before long.

Zack Stortini - an enforcer for the new NHL, very tough, wins fights easily or ends them quickly if he doesn't want to go, but he is also a pretty good playmaker and has some scoring ability

from a Habs fan forum. Stortini played for the Bulldogs in the minors.

Me? Troll? Surely you jest!

He jests twice (I wish it were three so I could say thrice).

[joncha]

Quite the jester, he.

Sounds like a description of every other enforcer in the league.

The times I've seen Stortini fight he's seemed average at best.

Godard, on the other hand, has fought Boogaard twice, won both times -- and gave him a nasty concussion in one of them that sat Boogaard out for a number of games.

Stortini may be nice, but he's no Godard.

Didn't say he was.

Stortini isn't a one dimentional player.

He's got 1 point in 16 games, and a -5.

Godard's similar: 1 point in 15 games, +1.

Iginla and Phaneuf aren't afraid to fight anyone. Last time I checked earlier this week, it was Stortini in particular that was avoiding the fisticuffs...bunch of cowards on the Oilers.

Iginla's habit of fighting is actually a common knock against him.

True since both Iginla and Phaneuf should not fight that often. Both are key players and if the "went' with any idiot that challenged them, the challenges would be constant.


Any good player would be an idiot to fight with another team's hired good. I admire toughness but would rather see good players actually play hockey

Oh and the win over the Blues had a bunch of positives. While the Blues are not a playoff team, they have been one of the better teams lately.

The Flames played a solid 60 minutes, falling behind mainly due to stellar Blues goaltending. Kipper was not great early but rallied to make key stops to keep the Flames close. Iggy was a force and the d was very very solid.

Overall probably one of the best overall FLames road efforts this season

Another loss and another two dmen hurt in Oil country...

Let's see, the Oilers have left ... Bryan Young and... juniors. It's going to be a hoot for one of the kids. From the Q to the show. Either that, or Lowe could sign a playing contract.

I can't wait til our next game vs the Oil.
