Which of the Flame Big Three (Training Camp 2009) has best Playoffs?
Phanuef #1 d-man, Captain of the Leafs 25:11 /game 9 goals 27 points in 47 games -4
Bouwmeester 21 -25 minutes/game average 23.75 in St. L #2 to #5 in St.L. Pietroangelo is #1 and the others (Shattenkirk, Jackman Polak along with Bouwmeester ) can get a lot of ice time depending on the game . St. L. gave up the biggest future assets in their 1ST rd pick to get plus taking on the 6.8M cap hit for next year in hope of a long playoff run. Bouwmeester has delivered so far with 1 goal 7pts in 13 games and a plus 6. How will he react to the physical play in the playoffs?? It might be a challenge if the Blues draw the Kings in the first round.
Regehr 19-25 minutes/game average 21:06 but ice time picked up after his first 2 games with the Kings. On the number 1 pairing with Doughty.
Side drama in a LA- St.L series: Bouwmeester's contract was a major reason Regehr (and Darryl Sutter) were forced out of Calgary
As an aside ... Hannan who was let go so the Flames could keep Sarich is paired up with Burns in San Jose.
