- The St. Louis Blues shut out Dallas Monday 1-0. With the win, the Blues moved into a three way tie for top spot in the overall NHL Standings. Since the hiring of Ken Hitchcock, the Blues have rolled to a 21-5-6 record. That is stunning. The team itself is pretty much the same as [...]
Cammy Karma

Dust off those Cammalleri jerseys Flames fans. Cammy’s back. As word began to trickle out of the TD Garden in Boston Thursday night that Mike Cammalleri had been pulled from the lineup…then sent back to the team hotel…then traded somewhere…on one hand I felt like it was a sure thing. Cammalleri is coming back to [...]

It is the start of 2012. The new year is all soft and fresh. The time for resolutions. Promises to one’s self for the upcoming 12 months. I choose not to make resolutions because I know I will only fail in keeping them and then slip further into depression and angst towards myself. However, I [...]
Time Marches On

As the month of November comes to a close, there are certainly still more questions than answers for the Calgary Flames. The losses outnumber the wins and it seems like the team is destined to become a spectator once again when the playoffs get underway come spring time. The Jarome Iginla trade rumors are in [...]
How Much Longer?

The Calgary Flames suffered another lackluster defeat at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets Monday night 4-1. The Flames were outshot 11-3 in the third period in spite of trailing in the game. The team seemed to lack emotion and went quietly into the night. Disappointing, would be an understatement. Tuesday morning, not surprisingly [...]
That Stings

Well, that was something. Yup. Really something. The Calgary Flames were beaten 5-1 by the Vancouver Canucks Tuesday night. In some respects, that’s all you need to know. The Canucks have had the Flames number for quite some time, and Tuesday was just another chapter. Vancouver rolled to a 5-0 lead by the half way [...]
Two is the most important number

Tuesday night’s Battle of Alberta won’t go down as one of the more memorable chapters in the rivalries history. The Edmonton Oilers scored one goal, a powerplay marker early and nothing more. There was almost a scrap. The Flames did little for 2 and a half periods before getting two goals in less than two [...]

- Even the NHL regular season got underway a week ago, I’m starved for hockey. These nights with just 2 or 3 games are a killer. – Four weeks to go in the CFL regular season and we’ve got a three way tie for tops in the West. If I had to pick, I’d say [...]
What if…

As I sat watching the Calgary Flames 5-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Monday afternoon, I thought of Melvin Udall. Remember Melvin? Didn’t think so. Melvin was the central character from a 1997 Jack Nicholson film where Melvin, who was a best selling author, had a general dislike for most people and things [...]
Backlund Banged Up

One year ago, Matt Stajan was looking to start the year with a bang. After a disappointing end to the previous season, Stajan trained hard in the off season to get ready and make a positive impact. Before the regular season started, Stajan sustained a shoulder injury and his season was pretty much a wash [...]
