Chris Thorburn And the Myth of the "Best 4th Line in Hockey"

... Table 1 shows that the Thrashers coaching staff protected the 4th line all last year. The Greek God line didn't go out and shut down the opposition's top scoring lines. Instead, they faced the weakest possible opposition--mostly the other teams 3rd and 4th lines. In fact it was Colin Stuart, ...

... 30th in the league with a 69.4% kill rate at home and 79.3% rate on the road. Those numbers are bush league. Part of that problem was the horrible goaltending which has hopefully be alleviated by three surgeries on Toskala as well as the signing of Jonas Gustavsson. The defence has been bolstered by adding proven penalty killers Francois Beauchemin and Mike Komisarek to golden boy Luke Schenn. Among the forward ranks, Brian Burke has added Tim Brent, Colin Stuart, Colton Orr, and now Rickard Wallin to the list of players ...

Flames Finally Dump Primeau
Matchsticks and Gasoline —
... This summer just keeps getting better and better.
Though it's probably a year later than I would have preferred, TSN is reporting today that Darryl Sutter has traded Wayne Primeau and a 2011 2nd round pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs for minor leaguers Colin Stuart and Anton Stralman as well as a 2012 7th round pick.
The move clears up 1.4M of precious cap room and adds a couple more names to the Abbotsford Heat roster. Perhaps most importantly, it's whittles the Flames forward number down to a ...

... for 4 years, $4 million; Derek Morris to Boston for 1 year, $3.3 million — These two go under "Honorable Mention Worsts." To give any enforcer a four-year deal is absurd, even by Brian Burke standards. As for Morris' signing ... I can understand seeing Morris as an upgrade to Ward, but to pay him in excess of $3 million for next season doesn't make sense, especially for a cap-strapped team.

Flames Pre-season Game Day: Flames vs. Islanders

... Bouwmeester's debut would be the thing that Flames' fans anticipate most for this evening under normal circumstances. The circumstances aren't normal, of course, but I still think that how he fits in will play a major role in the success of the team. Bouwmeester's not known as a high-maintenance type at all, but it still takes time for players to build familiarity and trust.
Up front, the Flames will give three of Tuesday's combatants a second look. Colin Stuart, Jason Jaffray and Nigel Dawes will play again, ...

Pre-season Game Day: Food for thought

... Stralman for Kronwall, or Jaffray for Stuart might have been the reasonable expectation for how far the Flames would take that line of thinking. Maybe, at the outside, Mikael Backlund might earn a spot, but if he were to play all year the Flames would be cap-strapped again. There just weren't many scenarios where something genuinely unusual could occur. And the truth is, except for one small exception, that's held. Jason Jaffray and Carsen Germyn have been OK, so Colin Stuart might be in trouble, or maybe Brandon Prust. ...

Evaluating the Flames Pre-season

... Colin Stuart - C - Stuart made an impression on me in the first pre-season tilt by making one of the most ill-advised cross-ice passes I've ever seen in an NHL game. He had a couple of other gaffes in the same match that convinced me he'd be on the next flight out of town. He's settled down since then and showed some speed and tenacity which would probably be a boon on the 4th line. He, Jaffray and Prust were pretty effective against the Oilers as well. ...

Jaffray fits this description as well, and the two were the main threats at EV and with an extra man. The two each scored a goal on the PP, and Lundmark tied the game with Keetley pulled, using a change-up shot Greg Maddux would have been proud to call his own. Or he whiffed on it and hit the underside of the bar and in, take your pick ;-) Colin Stuart scored the other goal on a nice PP tip of a ...

He's a true top-four defenseman for Atlanta with a quality of competition rating of .077, and his relative +/- rating is 2.49, good for tops in the Thrashers d-corp. Additionally, Kubina has been using his size to great advantage, clearing the crease of pucks, opposing players, and just generally taking up space. Considering the Thrashers gave up Garnet Exelby and Colin Stuart to aquire him from Toronto, Kubina has been a huge boon to the ...
