Good morning, everyone (except Double Down).

My unrelated hockey question of the day:

Why do people still insist on naming files with underscores?

Comm_Plan_Version_3.doc?

Like, you stopped having to do that with Windows 95, if I recall correctly.

Comm Plan Version 3.doc

Hit save.

Away you go.

And top of the morning to you, Double Down.

Wow, we don't want a controversy mate

I cant believe the Flames haven't admitted they need to rebuild yet... they are like the Leafs of 2004-2007... just bite the bullet already!

Do the Calgary fans see this? Kipper is what, 35? How old is iggy? And as far as I know they have a very weak prospct pool...

Feaster=disaster...

My Leafs may suck, but at least we are moving in the right direction with our prospect depth

I guess you didn't notice that they drafted their saviour out of a private high school. They grabbed him a few rounds early too just to make sure they wouldn't have to rebuild.

I hate the programs that say 'You cannot use !@#$%^&*();'<>.,/?"\|`or~ in your file name, please try again.'

They really need to trade Iggy and Kipper (I apologize for the nicknames - just don't want to look up Kipper's proper spelling).

I'm saying that out of love, not hate.
- Atomic Wedgie

Although I agree, they cant trade Kiprusoff until they start playing their prospects more to see what they have behind him as he's been playing almost 90% of the games each year so far.

Iginla, well he dosnt necessarily need to be moved as it depends on Feasters game plan. He could move Jbo and Kipper and bring in much needed assets, or move all three...but moving Iginla will largely depend on where the team sits come deadline.

Their roster is no where near as poor as many think...but of course, moving all three of those guys will bring in some solid youth and assets that will allow them to get a strong retool going.

Clever move.. take the player way early instead of trading your pick for more later picks

Elitist bastards.

What, they couldn't find their saviour from the public school system?

Because they grew up eating paste...

Anyone wonder what Burke is actually doing today?

Do you think he is in the office down at the ACC?

I'd love to know what these guys actually do on an hour to hour basis in the summer.

Fine save yourself the truth

There are some seriously challenged people on HFBoards.

Guy's talking about getting Dubinsky... I'm like, "umm, CBJ just dealt their franchise winger in part for him; there's no way they're moving him in the near future". Buddy says I'm in "no position to make such a claim".

What kind of position do I have to be in to use common sense? Somewhere between an amoeba and an emu on the intelligence chart, I would think.

Clay Wilson (MVP last year with the Abbotsford Heat) just signed with a Ukraine team for the KHL...any thoughts?

The guy was a decent player for the Flames affiliate team, but no room to move up with their amount of defenders...think moving to a Ukraine team is a better choice?

More money? He's maybe thinking of making decent cash while he's waiting for his NHL call up.

Take 5 minutes out of this slow morning and read my most current blog...I dare you


The guy takes a lot of heat, that is arguably undeserved. Hes been a full time GM for Calgary since May2011 for petes sake!

Take a read of my blog, then well talk if you care to do so
- Colin Dambrauskas

the criticism is not in the moves he's made but the direction he's decided to take.

Al a Rob Schremp, Caron etc...

This is the machine I wrote every essay on from grade 10 through university:



No mouse. No hard drive. Monochrome green screen, which I'm guessing was 14".

You had to load Apple Works by floppy drive - which had an integrated word processor, spreadsheet and data base - and which I could probably still use today.

You kids and your newfangled iPods and notebooks.

Sheesh.

You sound like you're older then me. I grew up on Commodore 64's in high school.....but by the time I got a job as a tech in a high school surprisingly they still had one lab of commodore Pets going with baseband wiring. One goes down they all go down...just like the old christmas lights.

Keeping Iginla and Kipper only hurts the team.
