It's (frank)ing boring here these days.Garths thread has been trolled to death, Sabres fans are just morons ( no doubt, some ding dong figures that Sam Reinhart could net them a top defenseman), Canucks fans can't take a joke, and I can barely get a rise out of you guys anymore.

About the only thing still going is Tanners threads and those are getting pretty redundant .

You've lost your edge troll-wise since the Hall trade. Maybe you need a sabatical.

He got hampered by various injuries then really stepped up in the late season when others were either injured or getting called up.

Love how he plays on the offensive blueline. He's legit in my opinion. Then again, maybe I'm reaching.

Another day, another pointless blog. The Flames had awful goaltending last year and it's important their goaltending is better this year. Is that all you got. There's nothing else you could possibly write about that could lead to an interesting discussion? There's nothing to even respond with unless someone is expecting Elliott to play 75 games this year. Step your game up

You keep saying that as though the trade had some sort of impact on me, lol. I do t fall in love with Oilers players. I am probably the least impacted guy as a result of that trade.

It's (frank)ng July!

At least we have a blog on the main page. What do you want him to do make poop up? He's here to report on Flames related news not write short stories for you to read on the sh!tter.

ANYTHING to stir the pot. Predictions, line up proposal, trade prospects... team strategies. Yes its July but some creativity in a blog at least gets the fan base talking. Hell even the Oiler and Leaf fans are going at each other because Hendo stirs a bit of controversy. Todd posts and vaporizes...

Here's an idea for those of you that don't appreciate we have a blog to talk about, come up with something of your own in the comments; hijack the blog. You don't like what Todd offers then add a comment we can all debate or comment on. How about trade proposals?

You're fine trashing other people's efforts, why not try putting yourselves out there with something of your own. You seem to think it's pretty easy this time of year.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I remember when Vetter was our blogger. I think his last year on here he wrote 1 blog the entire summer.....1!

Ya I get it but again quality...this is a rumor site not a factual site (sad as that is to say). Since there is very little fact to go on and stating signing a quality back up was good is painfully obvious.

Outside the Oiler fan base, most of us are dutifully employed and as something other than writers. If I'm a writer (and I'm sure as poop not), I'd want there to be some quality in what i write. There needs to be some balance between Tanner's spew and what Todd writes to get those 40 posts and 100 views... I appreciate the effort and yes Vetts 1 didn't cut it but...

I asked for predictions on the Pacific the other day and got a whole 3 responses. So there goes the "hijack the blog" theory too.

That's what we are here for. I'd prefer to have us create the dialog rather than have Todd come up with some poop disturbing topic that draws all the idiots to the yard. If you want to read bullpoop that is only meant to entertain then wander over to Tanner's blog

Maybe I'm the only 1 that likes the fact that Todd gives his perspective purely from an analytics point of view. Everyone gives him poop for not watching enough of the games, but (frank) we all watch the games, we don't need a guy giving us a TSN play by play of the game we just watched. I like looking at what Todd has to say and comparing it to what I see in the games to see if he has a valid point or not.

There really isn't anything to talk about until Johnny and Money sign, and predictions are something that are best saved for pre-season time (because I bet if he did one now and then did one again when everyone else is doing it during pre season there would be at least one jag-off who would give him poop for repeating content).

Everyone else is cranking out blogs on a near daily basis, Todd's doing what he can to keep us on the main page (without resorting to writing complete bullpoop about stuff that isn't flames or even hockey related) and I appreciate that.

Good point....

I think we have some very good dmen coming through the system, can't wait to see what Fat Rass and Kylington look like coming out of camp this year. Still wouldn't trade Dougie at this point but who knows, in a couple years time he could become expendable.

I don't always agree with Todd and I am not a big stats guy. But I appreciate the impartial point of view he brings.

It would be nice if could go more in depth at times but I also understand the guy is not supporting his family by writing the blogs on HockeyBuzz.

I really enjoy Tanner's blogs. You have to admit that the guy knows how to rile people up and its funny how people take the guy so seriously. But that said I am glad he is not the Flames blogger. Can't wait till he starts blogging full time for Edmonton!

I still think Flames lack a guy like Regher in their system. Really don't have a guy who can play against teams best players and intimidate them. Maybe if Danzig can learn how to skate. Funny how this is supposedly a Burke team but I would not call the Flames truculent. :org:
