i just watched keith aulie stand up ovechkin on a quasi 2-on-1 (beauchemin made it back at the end). also ? he played 21 minutes on saturday in the win over boston. TWENTY ONE MINUTES !!! are you READING THIS SHIT ??!?! keith mafackin' aulie has played 8 national hockey league games and he's being considered a top four defenseman. yeah, i totally saw this coming when the trade was made (ie: "the potential of keith aulie was hardly discussed but TO ME that's gonna be a big deal... ")... i'm disgusted right now.
phaneuf trade: official fail for the flames. not because of dion, not because of white, but because keith aulie is gonna be better than both of them combined. in six months. [if he can stay healthy] book it. brian burke DID fleece darryl sutter... though not the way everyone thought... ugh.
and don't say aulie's only top four since he's on a terrible team, cause he'd damn sure be top four on ours. for 575K thru 11/12.
:(
[as i hit "post" on this one, aulie got schooled by a hard capitals 3-on-2.... but i think my point still stands in comparison to staios, sarich, mikkelson & babchuk]

My brother, a Leafs fan, has been telling me for a week that Aulie was the best piece in that deal. I kinda think he (and you) is right, and I can only stomach it 'cause...well, because honestly, I have sort of quit caring that the Flames are so bad. It's too hard.
They were going on about Aulie during the broadcast. I was watching during a study break...
I became a fan of his when I saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMuRLdb3GD0
but now I like him as a player as well.
i've been following aulie for 3 years worth of prospect camps (read the july archives thru 2007) and always thought he'd be good. turns out he is, damnit.
i've got a great pic of me with aulie, backlund & gord baldwin from sept 2008. when my buddy took it he was like "do you even know these guys names ?" aulie seemed rather touched when i said yes. ;) HUGE kid.
Flames trades with Leafs have never been good for the Flames
