The Flames are out but I’m still watching NHL playoffs, especially with a bunch of games going to game seven and/or overtime which is always exciting. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sequence like the one that happened last night – Vegas Golden Knights leading the San Jose Sharks 3-0 with about ten […]
After their best season in a generation and winning the Western Conference, I was super-stoked for a long playoff run by my Calgary Flames. Unfortunately, they flamed out in the first round losing to the 8th seed Colorado Avalanche in five games, shutting out the Avalanche in the first game but then losing four in […]

Back in October, I wrote a post about the things I was excited for this season. There was lots to be excited about but I doubt many Flames fans predicted the season the Calgary Flames would end up having. I was optimistic that they’d be in the playoff hunt and hoped they’d be in the […]
