#Flames Final Injury Report
All teams have players playing through injury in the Stanley Cup Finals but it’s also fascinating/frightening to hear the exact nature of the injuries once a team is eliminated. This year’s Flames were no exception.
Flames Lose To Ducks And Are Out of #StanleyCup Playoffs To End Cinderella Season
As the NHL season came to a close, I kept telling myself that if they could just make the playoffs, that was more than anyone expected of the Flames this season. And they did that. Then I just wanted to beat their arch-rival Canucks in the first round. And they did that. Then I just […]
Friday Fun Link – Johnny Gaudreau Dekes Four Ducks
Flames lost but this was awesome.
Secular Sunday – Jesus Loves Floyd Mayweather Better Than Manny Pacquio
Yeah, that’s what happened…
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Calgary Fire Department
The Calgary Flames have been using a Calgary Fire Department helmet for players to pick the “unsung hero of the game” after each victory for the past couple seasons. I don’t have a picture of Pace wearing a CFD helmet but I do have a pic of him checking out a fire truck courtesy of my […]
First Ever Major League Ball Game Played With No Fans Present Due to Baltimore Riots
I considered doing a post with some random thoughts about the Baltimore riots but then I realised there’s nothing I can say that others haven’t said better already – about the riots and about the first ever Major League Baseball “empty game”.

Yeah Baby! #Flames Eliminate The Canucks to Move To Round Two of #StanleyCup Playoffs
In 2004, I attended the Alberta Book Awards on the same evening as game six of the Canucks-Flames first round playoff series. As one of the event organizers, I kept providing updates on the score to the MC who relayed them to the partisan crowd (oh, those not-that-long-ago days before everyone had a smartphone in […]
#Flames vs. #Canucks – Bringing Back Old Time Hockey To The #NHL
And giving us the best first round series in the process… Let’s run down the checklist. We’ve already seen two late-game instigator penalties that have led to automatic suspensions, both of which were subsequently rescinded because suspensions due to instigator penalties are always rescinded. We’ve seen a player stretchered out of practice with a mystery […]
