It would be refreshing to see someone who has a flare for realpolitik instead of grounding their policy positions in ideology

Goes for all parties really

Aren't they all grounded in one ideology or another?

But yes, they need someone with some friggin flare. Scheer was like the stay-puff man with no personality...

Some morons figured out how to open your throat for a few seconds. My buddy in Uni did that to great cheers.

Fascinating... the heights of progress mankind has reached...

Exactly, this person of the year thing is complete nonsense....shes a 16 year old female puppet paid for by the climate lunatics....

Why do you even care?
All of this is politically motivated.
It's like Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize 12 (!) days after he took office.

They've found their offensive touch again, but depth is the same problem it was earlier. Probably still pretty fragile.

They're playing well, and getting lucky, too.

The Flames have put together a 6 game winning streak. They've done so against some lesser teams like the Senators, the Sabres twice (although they've rebounded from their mini-slump), and the Kings. They have also come off of wins over Colorado and Arizona.

Looking at the numbers, they are feasting on High Danger scoring chances. In those 6 games, they have 11 High Danger goals for, and have allowed only 1 against. They've generated 57 HD chances for, and allowed 45 against - so they have been playing to their strength which they are capitalizing upon. If you put that in perspective, the Flames have a shooting percentage of 19.3% on high danger chances compared to their season average of 11.2%; they have a high danger save percentage right now of .978% compared to a season average of .875%.

If you look at the last two where the competition is a little stiffer, they are still up 4-1 in High Danger goals, but are down 17 - 15 in chances (Colorado outchanced them 8-4).

The Leafs have won 2 in a row, but have played reasonably well for 3. They've done so against Colorado, St. Louis and Vancouver - so three pretty good to very good teams. They've traded High Danger goals at 2-2, and have been outchanced in High Danger situations 27-24.

It's a pretty simplistic summary, but looking at Calgary's play of late - they are doing a real good job of minimizing really high danger changes in tight, and they are doing an excellent job of getting to those areas for their plays. The Leafs are going to have to do a MUCH better job of keeping Calgary away from the front of the net than they've been doing of late or I think Calgary will make them pay.

That said, who knows how much longer that insane luck for the Flames is going to keep up - particularly with the HD sv%.

If it is allowed, Rona Ambrose.

She'd be PM right now if she hadn't stepped down

Doesn't matter. Some guy was in here the other day saying the Leafs are the most overrated team in the NHL and that they don't have a chance against these flames (who I presume are future stanley cup champs).

We're doomed
