You would think that Bouwmeester as an an elite defenseman would have been a 1st star once in the 82 games he played!!! Not only do I undervalue him so do the analysts watching the games.


Butler was First star in 1 game as a was Gio, Comeau, Horak , Bourque and Irving.

Tanguay was able to dominate 3 games as was Jokinen. Glencross was only first star in 2 games but was in the 3 stars in 10 games.

Brendan freaking Morrison, playing on one leg and muscle memory was first star twice

Stempniak , who I apparently under value, was first star in 2 games.

Bouwmeester 0 for 82 in being the best player in a game.

Iginla was First star in 11 games .... Kipper 10. If they were good team-mates you would think they would give one selection to Bouwmeester.

Cammalleri only played 28 games for the Flames .... first star twice.

I am not sure which is more amazing:

That you think that's a valid and useful argument, or that you bothered to take the requisite time to do the research on it.

[StrykerSteve]

Who else believes JBo scores at least 10 goals this season?

Spoiler!

I don't know why I am defending this guy, I hated watching him play the past few years, lol.

Honestly, why don't you give it a rest....you're reaching so far to find crap to b*&^h about now that it is hurting MY shoulder.

If you want to make the comparison...it is between defencemen period, leave forwards and goaltenders out of it.

...or just stop altogether.

I see we've moved on from the decisive +/- stat to the really telling star selection stats. Thank god for stats! Otherwise how would we know who is any good?

[Poe969]

Too bad there isn't a stat to show JayBow's "tenacity and truculance" because I'm sure he'd be among the league leaders in that one.

All kidding aside, I really like JayBow and always have but I just don't like him as a Flame. He just doesn't fit with the Flames. I really do see him being an allstar on the right team

Gagner was the first, second and third star in an Oilers game. I presume he's the greatest player ever? Since when does 3 star stats count for anything other than a nice little cheque each month to a charity. Guys who write for news papers and have their own agendas pick those things. They mean nothing, except to raise some sponsorship money and spread people out so they don't all bombard the exits at the same time.

I would prefer a stat using the wideness of his eyes. The more his eyes are wide, the more he is into the game. When his eyes are not wide he is obviously not engaged and therefore is useless.

ricardo, what is Bouwmeesters average eye width? And how often is he above/below this width?

Seems like you place a lot of value in what Charlie Simmer has to say about the team.

[Reanimate]

It is become apparent. Jay Bouwmeester has the ability to literally destroy minds. Poor Ricardo.

[Poe969]

Maybe Ricardo is JayBow

With Hartley in for Brent and having all new coaches I would suggest it is a new team. On the surface Hartley's past system's appear as if they would fit Bouwmeester's style of play better.

I would also suggest that Hartley has also expressed an interest in getting to know the players on a personal level which might could give him insight into Bouwmeester's mind if indeed he has lost his confidence offensively.

My god, you literally broke my computer. My computer was fine for the last year, then I read this post, and it won't shut down properly. I'm serious, it was honestly because of this post.

[StrykerSteve]

I don't see the logic in not standing up and supporting the heck out of JBo, regardless of whether you like him or not. He either excels under Hartley and makes the Flames a better team because of it, or if your only desire is to see him shipped out of town, he excels and increases his trade value, again making the Flames better for it.

Either way is a win for this team, so everyone should be standing up and cheering the heck out of this guy.
