Irrelevant thoughts from an irrelevant guy
February 8th, 2010 by Boomer
- Flames haven’t made a trade in a week. Boring.
- Please join me as I pray to the Hockey Gods…”Oh Hockey Gods…please let the Sidney and the Penguins vs Ovie and the Capitals continue to be as compelling in the years to come as it has been so far.”

What’s Going On???
February 3rd, 2010 by Boomer
I can honestly tell you that I’ve never had a week quite like this one. And it’s only Wednesday.
From Sunday morning’s shocking trade of Dion Phaneuf, to that evening’s rumored moving of Olli Jokinen to New York, then on to Monday’s 3-0 emotion-less loss to Philadelphia, and then on to Jokinen and Prust’s departure […]
So Long Dion
January 31st, 2010 by Boomer
And just like that…poof. It’s over.
Dion Phaneuf is an ex-Calgary Flame.
Quite a way to start a relaxing Sunday morning. I turned on my blackberry after a nice little sleep in and it went off like a slot machine. I have to admit I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the […]

So what can you say? If last night’s series of events that led to a 4-3 shootout loss in Dallas were a one-off kind of a scenario for the Calgary Flames, you could probably just shrug your shoulders and sluff it off.
But what if it marked the eighth straight time the team had failed […]

Yikes.
What else can you say at this point? You’d be forgiven if you had to turn your eyes away as the Calgary Flames went down to defeat for the seventh straight time Monday night. Brent Sutter did.
It was not exactly a resounding statement performance after three days of down […]
Now What?

It’s been a strange couple of days here in Flames land. Amazing what a 9-1 loss will do. Fans, media, players, coaches…zamboni driver, popcorn maker…you name it and pretty much everybody has felt the aftershock resulting from Monday night’s beating in San Jose.
In the 48 hours or so that have passed since then, […]
Getting Buffaloe’d
January 15th, 2010 by Boomer
A lot of fans and media here in the West (myself included) like to chastise those in the East for failing to see what is happening out here in the West when it comes to our sports teams. Players and teams have seemingly generated less interest and acclaim due to the fact that the […]
Spectacular Sid
January 13th, 2010 by Boomer
The Sidney Crosby show hit Calgary Tuesday. And again on Wednesday. Some people are inconvenienced by it. I think it’s great.
It’s pretty rare you encounter a player…or a person for that matter who generates so much excitment. And interest. And curiousity. And so much more. Sidney is a […]
Upon Further Review

Against all odds, there he was again on Saturday night. Scoring in regulation. And again in the shootout. For the win. First star of the game.
Jarome Iginla?
Olli Jokinen?
No silly. Of course I would be referring to Jamie Lundmark. Who else really? You know, the guy called up on […]

- Interesting to see the Colorado Avalanche slip down the standings in the Western Conference. I picked them as a bottom feeder at the start of the year and took plenty of heat for it as they stood as division leaders. Could I be right in the end?
- It’s going to […]
