Ryan Howse Continues His Hot Season
With 5 goals in his last 2 games, Howse now has 46 on the season, good for 3rd in the league behind Jordan Eberle and Kyle Beach - both of whom are older, former first round draft picks.
Cgy/Det Post Game - A Big One That Didn't Get Away
by maimster on Mar 9, 2010 8:11 PM PST

Through two periods, this sure appeared to be another in a long line of frustrating Flames games this year. Playing a very good team with tough PvP matchups, the Flames were losing the top 6 battles, winning the bottom 6 battles, taking too many penalties, not giving up a ton of great chances but not generating many. And they were down a goal. And 2-16-3 on the year when trailing after two. And playing a team that was 21-1-4 leading after two. And on the road.
On the other hand, the Craig Conroy - David Moss - Niklas Hagman line had a lot of jump and was dominating the lesser lights for Detroit (I'm looking squarely at you, Sparklepants) and you just had a feeling they'd be rewarded in the 3rd period for their efforts. Sure, it was hard watching Jarome Iginla, Matt Stajan and Rene Bourque in tough and generating next to nothing for two periods - incidentally, is Pavel Datsyuk not one of the top three players in the league, or is it just the Flames he looks so damn good against - but Conroy et al was about to break out!

My God, Damien. My God.
Toronto Star columnist and TSN Tradecentre expert Damien Cox believes the time has come in which Dion Phaneuf becomes the Captain of the Leafs. If he could grow a mustache, hit the general vicinity of the net, actually fight, and be a pillar in the community, the similarities between Dion and Wendel Clark would be uncanny.

The Deeper Implications of the Boyd Trade
by Kent Wilson on Mar 9, 2010 12:50 PM PST
28 comments
There's been some sniping around the Boyd trade both here and elsewhere and the argument being raised has conjured memories of another spat that erupted around somewhat similar circumstances almost three years ago. I think the comparison will help explain why I and others like Robert and RO don't like the deal.
In the summer of 2007, Darryl Sutter had 7 NHL defensemen signed:
