    • I don't see exactly how Iggy prevents the bulk of the 3rd and 4th liners from chipping in with 12 or 16 goals instead of 4 or 6. Calgary's 3rd and 4th lines play about the same amount as 3rd and 4th lines on other teams and this lackl of "depth scoring" has been an issue for years-- But what does Iggy have to do with it? He usually faces the opposing team's top checking line
      By sucking up 7 million dollars.

      • Yeah, it's hard to justify paying one of the top 5 scorers over the past 5 years his 7 million dollar contract.

        They should've shipped him off and brought in some quality players like Burrows or Cooke.

        • If they did that and kept Sutter (who was obviously not the problem), then they would be in the playoffs this year and could be looking at a stanley cup ring.

            Can you keep your Sutters straight?

            The Sutter coaching LA is not the one that has been coaching Calgary this season.

            Sutter was definitely the problem, but in his role as the GM. He's a fine coach, but he's proven to be an awful GM. Calgary had great success with him as the coach. He was never fired as the coach from Calgary -- he resigned to take the GM position.

            • And jesus tapdancing christ, you seriously just said if the Flames ditched Iginla for Burrows and Cooke they'd be serious cup contenders last season??

              • Okay, big changes in the standings heading into the Finals, only a few players still have a chance.

                Four of us (myself, Kontiki, Ming, and notyoueither) picked both winners this round; three players in the each series got a bonus point (me, Kontiki, Supr49er for Devils in 6; Ming, mrboo123, and Flubber for Kings in 5).

                Only one player--mrboo123--received any bonus points at all for picking a conference champ with his Kings selection; he could still get two more bonus points as he picked the Kings to win the whole shebangabang.


                Without further ado, the standings:

                1. Guynemer 18 (21 max possible)
                2. Kontiki 16 (19)
                2. Ming 16 (19)
                2. Garth Vader 16 (19)
                5. Asher 14 (17)
                5. Supr49er 14 (17)
                7. mrboo123 13 (18)
                7. Flubber 13 (16)
                9. notyoueither 12 (15)
                10. demonbinder 11 (14)* (did not supply picks in round 3)
                11. joncha 10 (13)
                11. gjramsey 10 (13)
                13. Ben Kenobi 8 (11)
                14. Jonny 6 (9)* (did not supply picks in round 3)

                As you can see, it is down to five players. If I pick the Stanley Cup winner correctly, I am the champ. If I fail to do so, I could be caught by any of the players tied at #2, or surpassed if they get the number of games right. mrboo123 could conceivably tie for the championship, but may have to hedge his bets. If he does tie for the title, LA will have to win; if such a case, he will be awarded the tiebreaker for picking the champ from the get-go. (Note: this is all speculative, as I'm picking the Kings.)



                I'm going Kings in... 6? Should be one hell of a goalie battle.

                        • Ugh... did I really not post my picks last round? Doesn't really matter; they would have both been wrong anyway.

                          Kings in 7 as I continue my race to the bottom.
