My favourite line...

[burn_this_city]

I'm getting worried about Chia. We really need him to make it through the trade deadline.

[SofaProfessor]

If Chia still has a job come Friday then I'm convinced the only thing that will get him fired is publicly executing McDavid on Whyte Ave.

I'm almost giddy to hear what comes out of this, should I be listening to CHED at 12.35?

Its already started....Stauffer truly sounds disheartened.

[Textcritic]

Propaganda Minister Bob Stauffer thinks that the Flames are "a completely healthy team." Pretty clearly this is the reason the injury ravaged Oilers lost on Saturday night.

*EDIT* — And now he claims that the officials admitted after the game that they "blew the call" on Hathaway and McDavid in the first period when McMuffin was cut... I call BS.

its like christmas in january

I know that theoretically there are plenty of things that could have happened, but realistically I just can't imagine how this season could have been any more fun to this point. The Flames doing so well and the Oilers just get worse and worse and doing things that I didn't even think they were dumb enough to do. On both fronts, the future looks bright, too!

I love this season!

Wow.

As if there isn't already two tiers in the Oiler locker room, McDavid calling out team-mates should stir that pot.

[mrdonkey]

This sure feels like Chia’s last season as GM. The tire fire is burning hotter than ever.

Which is very sad, because it’s made for endless amounts of entertainment.

[Boreal]

Stauffer is not capable of commenting on the Oilers without making comparisons to the Oilers of the 80’s.

But... he knows his base.

[Slava]

I'm really hoping that the meeting today was to emphasize that "the answers are in this dressing room" kind of thing. Because clearly they are not!

Is that McDavid's way of indirectly asking to be traded?

"oh, and by the way, I'm one of them. Peace!"

[Looch City]

Such a leader.

[getbak]

That type of threat only works if people actually want to be there. Do you think there's really anyone on that team who wouldn't gladly welcome a trade?

"Let's go" indeed.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Who knew "Blue Monday" would turn out to be "Blue and Orange Monday!"

I second that. I was thinking when the waiver calls were made public today that it is baffling how great of a show this season is for Flames fans. You really can't make stuff like this up.
