So I don’t mean to turn this blog into “all Flames all the time” but after that unfortunate OT loss in the Heritage Classic last Saturday, it was amazing to see the Flames come back from a 3-goal deficit to tie it with three unanswered goals in the third period last night. The Predators went […]

Wrong team won but with a few days to think about it, probably worth it to see a 3-on-3 overtime outdoors (pond hockey!) and would’ve been even better if it had gone to shootout too!
Pretty cool experience to go to the Flames Heritage Classic game in Regina with my Calgary cousins and our dads.
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 […]
Pace and I have spent the evening watching YouTube videos of the video games I loved as a kid – here are YouTube videos of three of my all-time favourites:
I’ve been trying to greatly reduce my beer drinking from summer camping levels (essentially down to one per week instead of one per hour!) and I’m also trying to drink only terrible tasting low-carb beer (fuck, I’m old.) But I made a special exception for one last beer I had left from our Calgary trip […]

…is that I *finally* won the family hockey pool that a BC cousin has been running through regular season and playoffs for, what, ten years? You’d think that with twenty chances, I might have lucked into a win at least once, especially considering that probably more than half the entries are random picks by septuagenarian […]
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 […]
