Thanks for posting that Stajan picture. Just made me kill 7:42 at work watching this...:
Lol atrocious goaltending all around, except for Ramo. I liked him that year. Probably the only Flames goalie between Kipper and Smith that was at times good, but ran into some unfortunate injuries.
The Stajan goal never gets old. As classic as some of the old '04 ones.

Hiller, Elliott and Johnson have been good at times. Just not enough times.
It's funny that we've been hearing about how much the Flames have been scouting the Senators, then, they make a deal with Ottawa at the deadline and acquire a guy who has been there less than 2 weeks.
Based on Treliving's post deadline presser, it was probably Pageau they were looking at and they ended up acquiring the poor man's Pegeau.

Looks like it's going to be a intriguing battle between Shore & Lazar for 4th line centre next year.
But for tomorrow & Wednesday's lineup here's how I think this will go:
Johnny-Mony-Bennett
Frolik-Backs-Chucky
Stewart-Janko-Hathaway
Lazar-Stajan-Brouwer
And when Ferland gets back (I'll guess Friday)
Johnny-Mony-Bennett
Frolik-Backs-Chucky
Ferland-Janko-Stewart
Lazar-Stajan-Brouwer
Then when Versteeg gets back whenever in March AND is in shape to play
Johnny-Mony-Bennett
Frolik-Backs-Chucky
Ferland-Janko-Versteeg
Stajan-Shore-Brouwer
Playoff lineup and 5 games before playoff lineup IMO may be this:
Johnny-Mony-Bennett
Frolik-Backs-Chucky
Ferland-Janko-Versteeg
Brouwer-Shore-Stewart
Nice. I agree with this. Well thought through. Written from some guy from Toronto of all cities. Cherry on top. Funny how positive, enlightened and tolerant they become when the Leafs starts winning for real. Babcock is a killer.
Glad he didn't go "Milbury" and feel the need to make a splash.
Given some of the assets changing hands for average players the Hamonic trade looks pretty good to me.
No goalie added means either faith in duo, or Smith not that hurt.
Added some depth to the bottom line and added two right handed shooters.
This day went well from my standpoint.
Yup, I agree with your overall points but disagree on the comparison of the Hamonic deal against what we saw this trade deadline. Two different trade periods (offseason at the draft vs. Trade deadline day), so its not apples to apples comparison which would obviously make the deal look better (not suggesting the Hamonic deal was bad value). It's similar to people comparing UFA signings vs. RFA deals - doesn't make sense.
