Stop it. Just Stop it.

No, Im not going to write about the 2 short-handed goals against that cost the Flames the game.

No, Im not going to comment on the fact that Calgary lost another game they should have won.

No, Im not going to lament the loss of Giordano when the Flames so obviously need another PP blueliner aside from Phaneuf.

But I AM going to wail about the continued presence of Conroy between Iginla and Tanguay. That combo reappeared early in the first and popped up several more times before the game ended. It is, quite simply, an indefensible strategy to have Conroy on the first line. He has absolutely no business being there. The stats show it and it's plain as day to anyone who's watched the team this year. Craig Conroy is no longer (and actually, never really was) a capable first line center, or even a reasonable facsimile of one. promote Lombardi or give Langkow another shot. But, Mr. Keenan, for the love of God and all the is good and Holy, STOP PLAYING CONROY WITH IGINLA.
