Saw a lot of little positive things in the Flames 5-2 win over the Wild In Minnesota on Sunday. Did you? Big question is… and we’ve asked this before… can they put two games back-to-back? The Flames showed a more urgent need by the forwards to get into the greasy zone in front of the [...]

I have to admit this has been a very tough week. It hasn’t been easy to put a positive spin on things for the Flames after ‘The Debacle’ in Columbus.

When someone pulls up stakes and heads to a new City for a great gig, it’s always a very stressful time. Home pressure, work pressure, meeting new people and trying to remember their names can really give your head a spin. But in my case there’s one more place were I have to make some [...]

Can’t believe I’ve made it through the first week. Just a quick thanks to everyone for helping me survive my debut here at Sportsnet Radio- The FAN 960.  From the thoughfulness of the front office staff, to the guys in the studio, to the positive comments from the listeners… it really has made the transition [...]
