    I just caught the highlights from the Calgary v Detroit game a couple days ago. Glad I didn't watch it, except Phaneuf just laid out the one Detroit player. Not to mention his goal.

    Is it just me or is Phaneuf on track to be one of the league's best defensemen?

    He probably already is. He's got a lot of the same tools as Pronger, though I think Phaneuf is smaller?


    Also, three consecutive shutouts for Luongo. Whoo!

    Except Phaneuf is a classless goon on a team of classless goons. The player he laid out? Jiri Hudler, who is tiny. And Phaneuf left his feet to hit him. I loathe the Flames.

    Classless is a recurring theme with Calgary. They play like a bunch of American public schoolers. I know it's not a polite game like tiddlywinks or some shit like that but have some class once in a while. They have some good players who could become great if they stopped concentrating on being a bunch of assholes like some Mark Crawford coached team.

    Yeah, don't get me wrong. There are shades of gray here but overall, Calgary acts like a bunch of goons.

    Watching the Flames/Wings first round series made me angry half the time I watched it. Iginla's one of the more talented guys in the league, and I don't mind trying to change momentum by getting into a fight every now and then, but hacking away with the stick to trigger said fight? He should be above that shit. And he's the captain so the rest of the team plays the same way.

    ZING! When a team's captain, no matter the team, plays dirty it drags the rest of the team down. It makes them look like a group of amateurs.

    Pronger is a classless goon too. Cross checking Kesler after a goal was cheap, and should have been a penalty.

    I'm just wondering what the hell is going on with the Flyers. They're pretty much leading the league in classless thuggery this year.

    Yeah, I was about to say. Are we talking about the same Flyers? They've been a bunch of goons for decades.

    Pronger is a career goon. I don't think he ever played the game like an adult.

    It seems that many flyers fans are serious douchebags.. booing Andrew Alberts when he got up off the ice after taking a hit to the head?

    Its Philly, from what I've gathered doucebaggery is sort of the thing for Philly sports fans.

    Thanks for the stellar commentary.

    I've noticed this about the Flyers, cranking out goons. Do you think this is something the GM there is actively seeking out (dirty players) or is it just bad coincidence?
