Save Alex Tanguay.

Ok, there is some 'information' floating around that Tangs may be on the move. This is serious shit people. From my favourite guy at TSN, Bobby Mack:

The presence of Montreal Canadiens Assistant General Manager Pierre Gauthier at Wednesday's Flames' game has prompted speculation the Canadiens are looking at Calgary's Alex Tanguay and would be willing to move impending unrestricted free agent Michael Ryder to get it done.

Fuck me sideways, Ryder for Tangs straight up? Gauthier better throw in a bag of pucks too. MetroGnome has a better handle on the statistical reasons to keep Tangs. Me, I will keep it simple. Tangs is a surefire contributor to the team at all times. Yeah, he may not shoot enough but if you notice how he elevates the play of everyone around him in addition to be the best all rounder after Iggy. Losing Tangs will be a bad move by Sutter. More from BobbyM:

Whether that is a deal that Sutter would make remains to be seen, but it does fit the financial profile of what he's trying to accomplish?
Tanguay's cap hit next season is $5.25 million, which would help Sutter sign Phaneuf and/or Huselius, and there would be no obligation to Ryder beyond this season.

Man, if Sutter needs $5 million in cap space he need not look farther than the fucking press box. Seeing as Primeau, Nilson, Warrener have been patrolling the 'room with a view' consistently. This is weird, I would rather see Lombo head to MTL. I love Matty, but I think he's ready to be bigger and better than he will ever get in Cowtown. Tangs, on the other hand, is the ultimate Robin to Iggy's Batman. Apply the Jack Welsh philosophy, jettison the deadweight.

Another rumor: CGY is interested in Mats Sundin. If this proves to be true I will personally crap in a manilla envelop and send it to Sutter. Kaberle maybe. But JFJ isn't that stupid. (Ha, Fletcher is).

THE TANGUAY SITUATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT SID'S LOWER LEG INJURY!

Trading Tanguay right now makes no sense to me. He can anchor the 2nd line and give us the secondary scoring we need so badly. The problem is, he needs a sniper. Hell, all he needs is a guy who need only be capable of putting the puck in a back of an empty net, and said guy would have 30 goals on a full year of playing with Alex (and Alex's stats would be much better than they are). Nolan or Moss should be that guy, but I'm so tired of watching them miss empty nets.

I'm not a huge Tanguay fan, and I think he does turn the puck over too much for my liking. But as noted, he's become a very good PKer, and he's still excellent at setting guys up. I think Sutter, by getting Cujo, thinks we can make a run at the cup. As such, we have to keep Tanguay and get him a guy to play with. Ryder could be that guy, but you can't trade Tanguay for Ryder. Then who does Ryder play with? Lombardi? Conroy? With the year Ryder is having that's not gonna strike fear in any team's heart. I think a more likely move, if we are in a win-now (or go deep) mode is Lombo or spare chunks + pick/prospect for a currently devalued big winger like Ryder or even a Kyle Calder type. Hell, bring back Anson Carter, and I bet he could pot some with Tangs' set up.

While it's true we can get more return on Tangs now rather than waiting for the off-season, I really think management wants to strike now. Thus you gotta keep Tanguay for the post-season (should we make it). Then, if Juice and Langkow show up in the playoffs we can then worry about who we want to keep/retain over the summer.

I should also say that trading Tanguay without Juice under contract is troubling. If we trade Tanguay now, and lose Juice to UFA money, who becomes our #1 LW next year? True we could find someone from FA, but would they provide as much value? Particularly when you consider Tanguay would light it up if put back with Iggy.

But, if there's any possibility of getting another premiere player under contract (oh, I'm looking at you Olli) back for Tanguay + spare parts, I'd do it. But I can't see any team that would bite for kind of guy we need.

In Native American Traditions, the Rainbow is often associated with the Whirling Rainbow Prophecy which promises
a return to Sacred Ways, a time of great renewal, peace, enlightenment and spiritual growth for Humanity and All Our Relations.

There's no actual training stage or anything of
the sort, just a screen where you spend a certain amount of cash
on experience and team points -- the latter is spent on skills for your mobile suit -- which
is immensely helpful since players will earn a ton of cash upon completing stages.

donated nearly $800,000 as a result of the Salute to Service campaign.

In order to alert users to incoming calls and messages, the HTC Desire
