Calgary’s Michael Ferland Is An Amazing Story #nhl #flames #yyc #stanleycup

Perhaps the most dominate player in the Flames-Canucks series so far, Michael Ferland has an amazing back story as well. “It’s just great,” Hartley said. “We had a great meeting one-on-one a year ago in my office. That’s where it started. I watch those guys like a mother hawk … he opened up and we […]

50 Reasons This Has Been The Most Enjoyable Season of #NHL Hockey I’ve Watched In My Life #flames #yyc

Like many Canadians, I’ve always been a huge hockey fan.  I’ve got the requisite pictures of myself around three years old playing hockey against my grandma’s legs as she sits on the couch, I was one of those kids who could name every player on every team plus their hometowns, stats, and shooting hand. But […]

Almost as good is the Raw After Wrestlemania… Imagine your favorite dramatic TV series, say, Game of Thrones […]

Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling

As a long-time pro wrestling fan, I can’t decide if this clip is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen (those inside jokes!) or the worst (such a strange way to try to explain the appeal of wrestling.) But if you don’t want to watch the whole thing, it’s worth watching the last three minutes as […]

Congrats To Andrew “The Hamburglar” Hammond

After injuries to their top two goalies, third-string Ottawa Senators’ goalie (and possible long-lost distant cousin?) Andrew Hammond was an emergency call-up for the Sens a month ago.
