Friday Fun Link – 15 Times Connor McDavid Did The Impossible

Okay, now that the Stanley Cup’s been awarded and we don’t know if/when NHL hockey will be back, can I, as a Flames fan, admit that I *really* enjoy watching Connor McDavid? I mean, his defense sucks and I hope the Oilers continue to miss the playoffs every year for the next decade.  But man, […]

Some Quick Thoughts On The End of The World

Battle of Alberta Highlights

This game was pretty awesome – both the Flames and Oilers entering with similar records and a chance for whoever won to move into first place in the division if the Vegas Golden Knights also lost (which they did.) Battle of Alberta on Hockey Night in Canada with first place on the line – felt […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go Flames Go (April 2004 Stanley Cup Run)

I’m super excited for the Heritage Classic outdoor NHL game (first regular season NHL game in a non-NHL city ever!) on Saturday night at Mosaic Stadium. I’ve always been a Flames fan since I have a lot of family in Calgary but they were my second favourite team, at least until we moved to Calgary […]
