How Many Calgary Flames Will Shudder at the Name "Guillaume Lefebvre" After Tonight?

Hi Jonathan,

over on the Oilers Nation site a did a quick post on comparing Lefebvre's and Stortini's numbers. I did a better one and included MacIntyres numbers and an analysis on my blog: http://bringingbacktheglory.blogspot.com/

I have always ben a fan of having a good fighter, but after looking at all the numbers I think MacIntyre's number show that he can't do anything else, and will be a liability.

Good post: glad to see that you can even change a mouth-breather like me to having a reasonable position.
