    According to Bob Stauffer on Hockey’s Future:

    A well placed source not in the Columbus org, nor the Oilers org; but one that has provided me with exceptional info that came to fruition in the past, told me in late February that the Oil offered Torres for Zherdev, and Columbus countered by requesting for Lupul, which the Oil declined.




    Also, any comments from the Edmonton faithful on the pathetic full-page apology printed in the recent paper?

      Unbelievable if they blow it, but the unbelievable happens from time to time.
      Wouldn't shock me at all if they did blow the series. It's not that long ago that they did the same against Minnesota.

        I was wondering about that myself. Is that the popular speculation in Calgary?

            The Sedins have no points in 5 games?

            Talk about Playoff chokers...

              They need to get to triple overtime before they can score.

                  Interesting POV.

                  Flames Not Deserving Of Second RoundSaturday @ 8:01 PM ET | Comments (109)
                  TORONTO (Apr. 20) -- The Calgary Flames are an embarrassment.

                  In my pre-series picks here on HockeyBuzz, I chose the Flames to knock off Detroit in seven in their Western Conference quarterfinal, figuring the Red Wings had to show me they could beat an Alberta-based team after three years of falling short. Well, the series still isn't over and -- theoretically -- my prediction could come true. Pigs could fly over Joe Louis Arena as well. Forget, if you can, how disgraceful the Flames looked in the dying moments of Game 5 earlier today. If that is the same disciplined, professional squad that earned a surprise berth in the Stanley Cup final three years ago, then I've missed something along the way. Of equal concern is just how gutless the Flames are on the road. This is no bulletin, of course, as Calgary cowered on foreign turf all season. But, the playoffs are designed to show which teams possess character and fortitude in tough circumstances. And, the Flames aren't on the same planet as Detroit.

                  In fact, Calgary doesn't deserve the right to play another game on home ice. Unfortunately, the NHL post-season format dictates that Game 6 must be at the Saddledome. But, it's a futile exercise. Even if the Flames prolong everyone's agony with another triumph in southern Alberta, you know the players will tremble, quiver and grovel on the flight east for Game 7. No team with a backbone gags so spectacularly on the road. No team with an ounce of leadership behind the bench comports itself like a collection of boors when it is soundly and deservedly pummeled as the Flames were in Game 5. Even Jarome Iginla, a player most hockey observers rate among the most competitive and classy in the NHL, sank to the level of his ridiculous teammates in the Saturday afternoon debacle. And, forget about this nonsense of "sending a message". The only message the Flames "sent" is that they are poorly equipped to handle the burden of the Stanley Cup tournament. The game, and the playoffs, will be far the better if the Red Wings finally dismiss their shameful opponents on Sunday night.

                    That byline is SHOCKING.

                    And you know what? I'm sick of this ****. The Wings are NO angels. The whole reason Langkow punched Lebda was Lebda's attempted submarine. The whole series has been nasty and physical on both sides, and the holier-than-thou **** coming from certain people in Toronto but mostly from Michigan is unfathomably retarded.

                    The only play that was very wrong was McLennan's, and he was "punished" for it. Even that wasn't as bad as I first thought (I heard it described on the radio by Detroit broadcasters). Franzen admitted it didn't hurt, but he was "shocked" by it...shocked enough to stay on the ice for minutes while he was tended to by his trainers? Yeah, right.

                    Detroit's been running over Kipper, using the elbows (eg, Cleary on Phaneuf), and diving or embellishing like there's no tomorrow...and for their fans to take a holier-than-thou position about it is nauseating.

                    If that is the same disciplined, professional squad that earned a surprise berth in the Stanley Cup final three years ago, then I've missed something along the way

                    He doesn't know what he's talk about. Look up Niemenen's antics in 03-04, for instance. Game 4 of the final round was also very nasty with MANY game misconducts.

                    Idiot.

                      Lebda isn't dressed.

                      Tootoo was given 5 games when the other guy was attacking him.

                        He left the game on crutches -- you wanna blame that on a punch to the face?

                          As far as just being goons is concerned, that's the Bertuzzi defence, isn't it?

                            Nice dodge.

                            It's the Messier defense.

                              The punch on Lebda was way worse than what Tootoo did.

                              Tootoo got 5 games.

                                Simon got 25 games for a stick swinging. Noodles got 5.

                                Something's not right here,
