So, I've been predicting on-and-off since last season
-- and consistently since late June -- that Kiprusoff

The Flames host the St. Louis Blues tonight
( 7PM MT, RSN West ), in the first
of about 55 consecutive must-win games. The Blues are presently the 3rd-best team in the NHL by Win%, and the hottest to boot (8-1-1 in L10). Nothing to do with hockey, ...

So if the headline is "Tanguay Traded" ,
what's the subhed? Mine is something like, "Flames depart
draft without second line" . Tyler's piece on Tanguay Out, Cammallieri In is a good place to start; he demonstrates pretty clearly that Mike C is a ...

"Nowhere to go but up" is the theme
on the radio today. I hope they're right, although
if you're counting, that's 5 straight losses, and 3.5 of those games mattered. Watching last night's game, though, it certainly could have been worse. How? Let me ...

I go out for an hour, and all
hell breaks loose. The casualty list is getting pretty
damn high for this team. Fernando Pisani, out indefinitely . Sonofabitch. My favorite Oiler. The father of 34 , my illegitimate Stanley Cup-run baby. Who the hell ...
