Uhh, yeah. Odds on favorite to win the division again. MacFarlane is changing the Tanguay model to a Flames jersey, and the Oilers are disintegrating. Its finally good to be a Flames fan.  |

I have to admit, I like what the Flames did this off-season.

Hopefully Tanguay makes a splash and helps the offense.

Hopefully Tanguay makes a splash and helps the offense. HOPEFULLY?? I will bet on it. Its been a LONG time since we have traded for a pure offensive talent like Alex. Expect big things from him and Iggy this year. |

Expect big things from him and Iggy this year. Agreed, but i think moving him to center is not a good idea....don't think his frame can handle the punshment plus Tanguay - Anybody - Iginla Looks alot better to me than Anybody - Tanguay - Iginla Here's hope'n for Lundmark to make'n a dent.... and the best side of things there is his face-off % is just like old yellers from TSN Assets Has enough versatility to fill in anywhere up front. Is an exciting offensive talent with both blazing speed and a well-rounded game. Owns intriguing goal-scoring upside. Flaws Needs to add more strength in order to emerge as a quality NHLer. Must start burying his chances. Can he fulfill expectations? Career potential Top six forward. He's got the speed.......  |

The ironic thing is that in order for my team (Canucks) to win, we'll have to play more like the old Flames (ie., not a ton of goal scoring, relying on superior goaltending and playing a sound defensive game) - the exact kind that some of my fellow Canuck fans have knocked you guys for in the past.
Your acquistions this off season have been great. It's your division title to lose.

totally agree on the post season ideal, but it'll be a tough fight IMO for Vancouver to make it.

My biggest fear is that Lowe will get a top four defenseman and solidify the Oilers blueline. That is their "Achilles' heel unless their rookies can step it up right away. It'll come down to who can stay the healthiest (among the teams fighting for a playoff spot) that grab a spot in the post-season. Minnesota is my "dark horse" candidate - that is assuming Lemaire actually lets their forwards play abit more creatively. Detroit *could* fall the furthest this upcoming season. Question marks in net (can Hasek stay healthy) plus the loss of Yzerman and Shanahan are going to hurt. If Hasek stays heathly, then they'll probably do almost as well as last season. If not, look out... |
