this means the flames have enough left to sign another few players, word is that gelinas may come back as a 4th line mentor role(much like lowry did in 04)
i see the flames battling with colorado for the division, these are my july predictions for the west conf.
so something like this:
1. anahaim
2. detroit
3. colorado
4. san jose
5. Calgary
6.vancouver
7. st. louis
8. nashville
9. dallas
10. chicago
11.los angeles
12. minnesota
13. columbus
14. pheonix
15. edmonton
(who will score for this team???)
just a note - the oilers lost there 3 top scorers again this year(smyth, lupul and sykora) and thier captain - smith
as for the cfl, the stamps beat up hamilton on saturday and will visit saskatchewan this week.
here are my pics for the cfl
west
1. bc(still an amazing team)
2. calgary(burris learns how to run)
3. saskatchewan(...third again)
4. edmonton(not as good as the other strong west teams)
east
1. winnipeg(only team in the east that doesnt seem to have qb issues so far)
2. hamilton( the backup timmy chang will be starter by the end)
3. toronto( allen is done)
4. montreal(calvillo is still good, the team and offensive system isnt)
the roughnecks have not made any major changes and the calgary dawgs are in first in the NBL. thats it for calgary sports
go stamps and go flames
