Camalleri and Stempniak are both in the running for worst f'n guy in the league at a -20 (trailing only Mike Weber, Sam Gagner and Yakupov). With Matt Stajan hot on their heels (-18). Smid has brought over his already awesome defensive prowess from Edmonton at a -16. Dennis Wideman has been quietly terrible in his return as well but he's had points in the past couple of games -13 in 32 games.
Huge props to Kris Russell and Jiri Hudler for being a plus 1 over 30 games on this team......... (I suppose both of them being on the bench during the implosion helps)
I do not like Joe Colbourne. Him and Burke can catch the love train back to Toronto! And don't forget to take Stajan with you!
Hartley is screwed and he'll be fired for someone Burke wants. Don Cherry maybe or some other dinosaur (I am available). He might as well update his resume.
Sven Baertschi lacks bellicosity!
Dude, plus/minus is HUGELY misleading on a team whose goaltending consists of a career NHL backup and a guy who should probably be a career backup in the AHL. Stajan actually has a pretty good relative corsi rating (which means that the team puts more shots on the opposing net when he's on the ice) all things considered, and he draws some fairly stiff competion. Though not the toughest, which is surprising (I think Backlund has actually been used as Calgary's shutdown guy).
