Will be interesting to see how the polls move after this. Ndp and United clown posse have been in a polling toss up for a while now.

I'm hoping the Wildrose and PCs split.

"Alberta is Calling!"

 

[hockeylover]

We basically now have Jamie Sale running the province

It’s always about the Leafs.

Gotta think Notley becomes the favourite. Not enough nutters.

Shes too far gone for the standard conservative. Freedom fighters will love her and in the short term should could do some damage but long term UCP are a dead man walking

 

[Wayward DP]

sorry to go back off topic, but Cam Charron seems to be working for the Athletic and just wrote a piece on why Carolina's goalies perform so well.

Two key takeaways: 1) Carolina's scorekeepers count way more rebound shots than basically anywhere else; and 2) buncha eye testy stuff that I stopped reading, but he was focusing on a) pre-shot movement/passes; and b) whether the shot was contested or uncontested.

Hopefully this will lead to the UCP splitting up into two parties again.

A lotta money for a fictional hockey player:

 

[JackBurton]

They are giving these guys so much money they are forced to sign for 8 years

 

[zeke]

that's a good deal for calgary.

 

[Artnes]

Not a fan of the term though. Paying Fort Mac uplift to keep guys there I guess

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Yeah, the 7-8 years on some of these guys is going to be exceptionally painful at some point.

 

[zeke]

takes him to 36. but it's only $6m.

 

[Preston]

Yeah that's real cheap for a top tier matchup guy. 2nd pair money. Should be very cheap/discounted for at least the first half of the contract. Not sure the Flames care as much about the back half.. their time is now.

 

[Preston]

Not to mention in 5 years 6m is a lot different/cheaper than 6m today.

 

[Wayward DP]

he's like their Muzz, I guess. so yeah, not crazy AAV. term is a little much. Alberta surtax.

 

[LeafGm]

Yeah, after what happened this summer I think the Flames org was just terrified of being left at the altar again in free agency.

So, big priority on locking up the guys they got for Tkachuk for max term.

[Artnes]

Quite a few solid bottom 6 guys on the outside looking in this year
