As an Oiler fan, I'm loving that the Flames are S**T this season... but to appease my ego, why the hell are they continuing to go with the Iggy, Jokinen Tanguay line when they're consistently getting beat left and right... minus two tonight...

Stajan, Tanguay and Iggy have 39 points as a line and almost near the top in terms of line production, so why the f**k are they continuing to screw up that chemistry by sticking in a lackluster Jokinen in with them... and then burying Stajan with Kotalik and Glencross, I mean seriously...

The least they can do for themselves is to get some solid production out of Iggy then move him at the deadline... right now opposing GMs wouldn't trade a 2nd rounder for him the way he's playing...

Stajan has sucked lately, to the point he was a healthy scratch.
But i totally agree about Jokinen, despite the points he's put up in the last 10 games, the chemistry just isnt there with those 3.

I'd like to see 1 of the Flames only 2 young assets play with Iggy and Tangs, Backlund or Moss. Just get Jokinen outta there and put him with Bourque til they figure it out or go pointless for the rest of the year.
No combination is gonna save this team.

I think he's sucked due to being booted off that top line... When he was on the top-line they played much better and had a ton of chemistry. No off-sides, no turnovers, and no lack of chemistry simple mistakes.

Jokinen just has no chemistry with Iggy and Tanguay and I don't know why they keep going to an empty well...

As opposed to the Oilers being S**T for a change (only joking)

I don't think there is anything that can fix the flames right now but you are absolutely correct in thinking wtf when Sutter keeps putting Jokinen back on the top line. It has been tried for two seasons and it doesn't work but we keep banging the same drum.

Just because Jokinen started to put up some points the coaches seem to think "lets change his line and see if he keeps going" Most normal coaches don't mess with chemistry when a line starts scoring, not Sutter. How the hell did he get the Devils to play so well????/
