Did you know Sidney Crosby is just 20
years old? And that there's a media frenzy everywhere
he goes? And that he handles said frenzy with maturity and aplomb?? Oh, and he's really good at hockey too? Well, I did. In fact, I knew that before the Crosby ...

There are some terrific pieces out there on
the departure of Alex Tanguay and it's effects on
the Flames roster. Im not going to get into that here, as it's obviously been handled elsewhere. Here's whats rattling around in my skull in the aftermath. ...

Sigh. Let's get this out of the way.
I hate Todd Bertuzzi . I didn't like him
prior to the Moore incident and I had no use for him as a human being afterwards. His conduct since, including implicating the Canucks management in the Moore civil ...

George Johnson has an article in today's Herald
which goes about cataloging the Flames various failings in
the first couple of games in the series and then concludes the piece with this baffling cop-out "explanation": Maybe the answer, though, isn't ...

There's been some decent stories in the local
media recently relating to the upcoming (and previous) entry
drafts. Here's my own humble contribution in that same vein... The Calgary Franchise is now 5 years removed from the onset of the Darryl Sutter ...

Just because I don't think this is getting
enough attention (and also because there's not a lot
else worth talking about out there at the moment) I thought I'd swipe this provocative little poster from A2Y : Seems there was some general ...

On the heels of Giordano's defection, there's now
word that Andrei Taratukhin has signed with Salavat in
Russia. In fact, he's been added to their roster : Last name on the list, identifiable by his birthday (22/02/83). Now, this could be a contract ...

Quite Busy today. Let's get to the point:
- Blues are hot, don't score much. Stempniak is
really screwing me in my pools. - Kipper's awful, but is bound to get better. Who the Hell knows when though. - Huselius and Langkow's struggles are ...

Flames have a chance to make it 5
for 5 this afternoon. Whodathunkit? Kipper stole the first
couple while a suddenly potent offense stole the last couple. I'd love it if the boys could, you know, put it all together to form a decisive victory or ...

The Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup last
year for various reasons. They had capable primary (Selanne,
McDonald) and secondary (Penner, Getzlaf, Kunitz, Perry) scoring, a couple Norris winners on the blueline and a Conn Smythe winner in net. They ...

It's been an odd couple weeks in Flames
land. Calgary's won a couple games that they should
have lost (SJS, DET, DAL) and lost a couple of game they probably should have won (COL, ANA). Frankly, it's hard to decide which trend to find encouraging. ...

I've wracked my brains for something to write
about the last couple of days and come up
with nothing besides a parodic screenplay of Keenan grilling the players that will probably never make it to the blog. As such, Im forced to present my mental ...

Last April around this time, the Flames had
a golden opportunity to claim a play-off spot by
beating a woeful Oilers club, which they squandered. Instead, Edmonton ended up with their only regulation win in the last 30 games of the season (if I ...

A little while ago, Frequent Commenter Ngthagg and
I had a back and forth regarding Adrian Aucoin.
Here's his comment , which is the jumping off point for this discussion: I think Aucoin may have a bit more value than some people think. Look at his ...

And I don't mean the arrogant, retired goaltender.
According to the Flames website , the disgraced Tampa
Bay enforcer is now a Calgary Flame. If this it true, I have to say Im dismayed and annoyed by this move. Roy is as useless a player as Godard ...

This is Jacques Lemaire, now the coach of
the Minnesota Wild, but previously as coach of the
New Jersey Devils, is the consensus evil genius that first entered into the Faustian bargain to trade pleasing, exciting, scoring hockey, for boring, ...

I guess the question of whether the Flames
will ramp up their play on the road in
the play-offs has been answered. Loudly. What a profoundly revolting display by this team.

What can I say? The morning after the
game 1 shellacking I have to admit - I'm
not that surprised. Had last night's game been the first example of shocking ineptitude, a wholly unique occurrence as compared to their typical performance, perhaps I ...
