As I was checking out the Flames site "MATCHSTICKS AND GASOLINE", I was tempted to ask a few questions. Check out the scoop (i feel like a journalist) on newly-acquired Brandon Prust.

See after the jump..

NOT TOO ADD TO YOUR MISERY TOO MUCH FLAMES FANS..

BUT us rangers fans have been talking about how sather needs to shake up the team, and we established that as much as we would like to move them, Reddden, Rozsival, and Kotalik were simply unmoveable..and here tonight, we see 1 of the 3 "unmoveable objects" traded for a former all-star. As for Higgins, we ranger fans simple called him Chris "FANS ON THE SHOT" Higgins. But he does work and on a good day really stands out..but thats on a good day. Good luck!

Higgins might be the only bright spot on an otherwise depressing night.

Where even Dion Phaneuf can get traded. So don't think your untouchable.

maybe were not getting much in return, but its more of a low risk/high reward move for us. Prust, according to you guys, is a heart and soul guy, something ny is in dire need for. And Jokinen has put up good numbers in the past, who knows if a trip back to the east can suddenly be a spark.

idk if you guys know much about callahan, but would you say prust and cally are the same type off players? does prust have any skill besides throwing the body?

Callahan is better offensively. Prust is good with the puck and can skate, but is probably no better than a 3rd/4th liner. He’s better than your average goon, for instance.

He beat Rypien both in the ring and on the ice. He’s an easy guy to root for and useful for roster-filling.

Give’s a boost of energy but he won’t be much more then a 10 Goal type guy if given all 82 games.

Where even Dion Phaneuf can get traded. So don't think your untouchable.

He can take a punch. Youtube the Rypien-Prust fights from early January. Awesome
