He has the most goals of someone who doesn't have any PP goals, but there are players with more even-strength goals (Sedin and Hossa both have 17 goals and only 2 on the PP for example).

Ovechkin has 23 goals, 7 on the PP and 16 at even-strength. Loui Eriksson also has 16 even-strength goals. Bork only has 13 ES goals because he has one SH goal, but he's certainly top 10 in ES goals, which is more than anyone could have hoped for (even Bork and Sutter, I'm sure).

Instead of GO FLAMES GO. Chant: "BORK! BORK! BORK!"

Glad to know I wasn't the only one chanting BORK BORK BORK at the game

sweet...that takes me back!

My wife thought I was the only one pumped up for the Flames/Swedish Chef connection when Bork came to town. Carolina had the red clown wigs for Commie...maybe we need to start looking for chef hats?????

Thought a comparison was in order:

Alex Tanguay 32 GP, 10 G, 16 A, 26 P, +7, cap hit $5.25M
Kristian Huselius 34 GP, 10 G, 12 A, 22 P, -9, cap hit $4.75M
Rene Bourque 35 GP, 14 G, 8 A, 22 P, +10, cap hit $1.3M

What was Sutter thinking? How are we ever going to replace the offense traded away this past summer?

We need someone to put that song playing in a video of his hat trick

Even better when you look at the 3 big lost players compared to the 3 big acquired players...

Owen Nolan..... 17 GP | 05 G | 05 A | 10 A | .-1 | cap hit: $2.75M

Mike Cammalleri 34 GP | 12 G | 17 A | 29 P | .-4 | cap hit: $3.35M
Todd Bertuzzi.. 35 GP | 09 G | 16 A | 25 P | -12 | cap hit: $1.95M

Difference: +10 G | +8 A | +18 P | cap hit: -6.15M

I was skeptical if Bork, Glenncross and Cammy was enough secondary scoring to replace Tanguay and Huselius. Glad I am wrong.

Cammy is what was expected. Both Bork and Glenncross have exceeded my expectations.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I was watching the game on my PVR last night and I was hoping to see someone toss a chef's hat onto the ice after the hat trick.

I don't care if Bourque scores another goal all season, he's a better player on this team than Huselius. He's big, he skates fast, he drives to the net, he goes hard into the corners, he back checks and he fights. I can't think of any other player that epitomizes the Flames identity more than Rene.

Haha, actually those wigs started when he played for us here in Calgary.

Don't you remember all the fans with red wigs under their green hard hats?

But the chef hat could be fun too!

EDIT: And yeah, there were some wigs in Carolina too, but wasn't Commodore's hair already cut by then?

I am going to the NYE game and I am trying to get tickets for tomorrows. I will try and find a chef hat to wear to the game.

And Bourque has 47 Career NHL goals, so...



I now want some Swedish Meatballs...

Edit: It wouldn't let me add all 47, so my next post has the rest.

I am so close to putting in an order for this jersey
