Iggy, Langkow, Tanguay, Phaneuf, Regehr, Kiprusoff...can you get a better starting line?

Yes, I can.
Selanne, MacDonald, Kunitz, Pronger, Niedermayer, Giguere
Briere, Afinogenov, Vanek, Campbell, Numminen, Miller
Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Williams, Lidstrom, Schneider, Hasek
Thornton, Michalek, Cheechoo, McLaren, Hannan, Toskala
Don't get me wrong, I think Calgary's right up there. I just don't think their starting 6 is so much better than any other good team's best line. Langkow is only as good as his linemates, for one thing. Iginla and Tanguay make him what he is, though you can make the same argument for Williams on Detroit. What's better is that these other teams all have better second lines than Calgary, too. The Flames could use better depth.
That said, I would not feel badly having Iggy and Kipper on my team any day!

well as i predicted at the start of the season that Iginla would finish top in scoring this year with the help of Tanguay, yes he had a terrible start but is starting to play good hockey. but you always have to look at that number one guy yes your goalie and the Kipper is not as dominate as the past two seasons. Guigere and Hasek are very lucky to have a great defencive core in front of them and an offence that can score almost at any given time. but you can look at a team like the Rangers with Shanny, Jagr and Nylander they have a great front line but defence is not to good. the team that you can really look at are the Montreal Canadiens they are playing as one, one night the top line is scoring then if they have trouble the next game another line will produce, Koivu, Higgins, Ryder are the top line and with Souray and Markov great offencive skill but playing great in their own end and what can you say about Cristobal Huet facing almost more shots then any other goalie and has the best SP% that tell you allot about this team, and being ranked 1st in both PP and PK is another great example of how well the Habs are playing. there are several teams out their with great lines and you can't really compare them cause some teams are more defencive style like the Devils, Habs to some of the offencive teams like the Ducks, Sabres and Wings to name a few.
GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
