Leafs Meet Flames Tomorrow, Both In A Playoff Battle
from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star, Despite the injuries, the Flames knocked off high-flying Vancouver in a shootout on Saturday night and have lost only two of their last 10. The Leafs turned Mats Sundin Appreciation Night into an unholy disaster against Montreal, and just 10 days after seeming to make an emphatic statement by hammering the Senators in Ottawa, they are now again...

Psst, Tambellini – have I got a deal for you!
A couple of weeks ago, I mused about the logic of the Flames trading away Jay Bouwmeester – a high-priced, underperforming luxury on a team that finds itself overloaded with top-four-quality defencemen. At the time, I wondered if anyone would be willing to take such a fat ($6.7-mil a year)contract off the Flames’ hands, and might even [...]

He's the defensive Ironman. He plays upwards of 26 minutes a night, many of those minutes against the opposition's most dangerous players. In the summer of 2009, Jay was arguably the most anticipated potential free-agent to hit the market until Darryl Sutter scooped in and traded for his rights before signing him, leaving many GM's in the lurch for the prized blue-liner's services...

Bouwmeester’s Corsi Predicted His Calgary Results
When Jay Bouwmeester was a free agent to be in Florida and the Calgary Flames traded for his negotiation rights and signed him. At that time, I warned that this move would not work out as well as they hoped. Bouwmeester had the 15th worst team adjusted Corsi rating in 2008/09. This was partially explained by the fact that Bouwmeester was eighth in the league by defensive zone...
