Analyzing Canada Men’s Hockey Team Loss

Brodeur and Babcock to Blame The Own the Podium campaign has been a bust. But everyone has said so long as we win gold in hockey we'll put up with the below average performance by the rest of the Olympians. But what happens if we lose in the quarters? Canada's...

Olympic Break Begins On Positive Net: Calgary 3 – Anaheim 1

Calgary will go into the two week Olympic break with a win, something they' found only 5 times in the last 17 games. Who would've thought that the Flames would be struggling for 8th place. It's like 2004 all over again....mind you the outcome then was pretty good....

Loser Flames Fail Yet Again: Dallas 3 – Flames 1

At this point of the year every game is crucial because if you're out of a playoff spot before the Olympics, you probably aren't going to the post-season this year. Turns out the Calgary Flames players haven't got that message yet. Even following Calgary's monster...

Senators Get Sorry Calls All Night: Calgary 2 – Ottawa 3

I wish Ottawa was an American team so we could blame Gary Bettman. Or maybe we'll blame Stphane Auge who was the primary official tonight. Or better yet, blame the nation's capital for, I dunno, proroguing parliament or something. Tonight an otherwise exciting game...

Flames Lose Tough One: Calgary 1 – Tampa bay 2

I could go on and on about how cheap the win was against the Flames tonight but nobody would care. Tampa Bay (and Florida) exists in America's wang where nobody gives a damn about hockey so covering those games is pointless. Nonetheless here is a quick run down of the...

Flames Start Sunny Trip with Win: Calgary 2 – Florida 1

The 'New' Flames started their first game on a brief Eastern road trip visiting the sunny skies of Florida. In fact, the Flames won't leave until after their game tomorrow against Tampa Bay. Most fans are still uneasy with the new look, many haven't seen the likes of...

Glencross with the Trick: Calgary 4 – Carolina 1

Edmonton beat Carolina two days ago, Calgary was expected to win. However, that's not a gimmie especially given the fact a third of the lineup has changed in two games. New Flames Kotalik and Higgins drew in th elineup and played with Langkow. Neither played much of a...

A note to cheer the Calgary Flames Hockey Team

You are the heart of diehard fans who always thrive to see you succeed; whether it is against the Edmonton Oilers or the Chicago Blackhawks. Whether you win some or lose some, our feelings never change. The month of January had been terrible for everyone: for you and...

Another Trade Debacle: Oli Jokinen Done, Prust Sent to NY

The news finally went through, a day late, but it's final. Some bad news coming out of Flames land yet again, this time another deal, which would be considered blockbuster if it weren't for yesterday's transaction, with under-performing centerman Oli Jokinen at the...

BORING. Flames Losers Again: Calgary 0 – Philadelphia 3

Four New Flames Debut Darryl Sutter has the balls to make big trades. But in reality they do nothing to change the heart of the team. OK, it's too early to make any conclusions, but after the 6-1 drubbing of the Oilers Saturday, Calgary folded the tent and the new...

A Note to Dion, Oli, Brandon, and Welcoming new players

On behalf of all the Calgary Flames's fans, I take this opportunity to thank Dion Phaneuf for his contributions as a member of the Calgary Flames Defense. You will be missed and remembered for your offensive efforts during the powerplay and we will cheer for your when...

Phaneuf to Toronto in Blockbuster Deal!

**TSN Confirmed*** The rumor mills from some reputable sources are heating up over at TSN that Dion Phaneuf has been traded for a bag of hockey pucks. The overpriced but highly touted Phaneuf was traded to Toronto for two unrestricted free agents, one at the end of...

Battle of Alberta Won. Calgary 6 – Oilers 1

For the first time in the 30 year history of the Battle of Alberta, the Flames took the season series in a sweep. It's the first time ever in fact. In fitting fashion the Calgary Flames stormed back to the win column with a drubbing of their Northern provincial rivals...
