  • And the Hart, surely?
    They won the Hart last year.

    Or is "that haul" being arbitrarily defined as N number of seasons, not this one?
    It was a haul. Canucks could have won the Hart, Vezina and Jack Adams too, on top of the GM, Pearson, Ross and Selke.

    Only the Vezina and the Byng elude the Canucks.
    Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

      I'm confused. How many years is a haul?

      It sounds like the Canucks should've just waltzed right into the finals and won an easy cup, what with the best GM, best coach, best offensive forwards, best defensive forwards, best defensemen, best goalie, most valuable player, and more sportsmanlike player. What went wrong?

      • Ryan Kesler just did what no Flame has ever done. Awesome.

        This is great. I've never had my favourite hockey player win an award before.

        I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the awesomeness of the Selke.

        • A Selke is just as good as a Stanley Cup, innit? Just keep telling yourself.

          Killer did get a Selke. Just not til after he was traded.

          Meanwhile, has a Canuck ever won a Vezina? Or, how about a Stanley Cup? I don't think they've ever won a Byng either (shock)... Or, of course, the Conn Smythe.

            The Selke defines grit, and the Hart defines courage. Which is why no Flame has won either.

              You're telling me a Sedin is COURAGOUS? SERIOUSLY? Do you even watch this sport?

              Calgary is and has always been a far grittier team than the euro-pansy Canuck style. Everyone knows that. The Selke defines defensive aptitude in a forward, the Hart is simply the single most valuable player on a team.

              Your excuses about the complete failure of the Canucks in their 41 history are starting to get a bit boring.

              Calgary's far from one of the most successful NHL teams in history, but at least we won a ****ing cup. Game over, Ben. Game over.

                  The only Flame who's won anything is a Finn. Thank God no euros play for the Flames.

                  FWIW, Conn Smythe >>>> Hart.
                  True. I forgot about Al MacInnis, because he got traded too. Wasn't he also the first Flames HOF Inductee?

                  That's the other big one and it's a shame they didn't rack one up this year too. But there's always next year.

                  So the Conn Smythe, Vezina and the Norris. Neither the Flames or Canucks have a Norris.

                    Uhhhhh, what?

                    Jarome Iginla is a Finn? I guess Al MacInnis is, too.

                    God you are an ignorant douche.

                    PS: Kesler is American and the Sedins are Swedish...is this an own goal?

                    • PS: Kesler is American
                      Your point? Kesler the American is way grittier than anybody the Flames ever had. For their gritty style, they sure don't have anything to show for it. Makes me think it's all hype.

                      BTW, the Canucks were first for hits among all teams this year. So for all their 'pansy Euro style Hockey', and your constant grousing about their 'goonery', I find hilarious.

                      A team full of euro style ballet dancing goons, apparently.

                        And the Lady Byng.
                        And the Masterton. (x2)

                        Flames also have 2 more Calders than the Canucks.

                        That's quite a lot of additional hardware for a team that's 11 years younger.

                          Hits are a ridiculous stat, every building has completely different standards. Can you find out how many hits the Canucks had at home vs away? I bet you it'll be illuminating...

                            Looks like this is yet another lie.

                            The Canucks were 20th in Hits this year. 1791 total.

                            You were so close though, Ben!!!!

                              • The Canuck with the most hits is 75th overall for hits, Jannik Hanson with 149. Lapierre has more but was on three teams this year.
