flames v. thrashers: post-postgame (aka: the forsberg rumour)

so, as predicted, the flames beat the thrashers 4-1. i didn't call all the scorers (well, i called langkow & iginla) but i feel fairly good about my pre-game report. being right is fun...

in all the talk of forsberg leaving philly, it wasn't till today that i heard any talk of him going to vancouver --though i've been calling that exact move for months. foppa played with naslund in his early days; a couple of ol' boys from örnsköldsvik making good in the big league. and forget that the sedin twins also played for modo (the swedish league team helmed by forsberg's dad, kent). i've watched this team play... and what i've been saying for ages: i'd be surprised if he DOESN'T end up on the west coast, it's just a matter of what they're willing to sacrifice for the legend. this, of course, upsets me greatly as a flames fan. and as much as i love forsberg, i can only pray for injury...


but trust me...


naslund and forsberg have a huuuge history...


and he's got a history with the canucks...


and a history with awesome wallpaper... (i LOVE this pic)

Luckily we only play the Canucks once more this season, but I would rather not see them make the playoffs...

So hopefully this doesn't transpire...

But if it does, Foppa will most likely get injured again anyway (more travel, harder hitting teams in the Western Conference)...
