Add another win to the column, folks.
The Calgary Flames won a decisive game against the Minnesota Wild tonight, 5 – 2 with shots favouring Calgary 35 – 21. During the win however, we lost Alex Tanguay and Scott Hannan as both fell down injured. I have been informed that Alex Tanguay is fine, but have not heard anything about Hannan.
This was the first game all season, that I was very impressed. It was a team game from top to bottom. It looked as if the players had finally bought into Sutters’ system. The first period was quite ugly, and back and forth. After that, it was a steady and well-played game. Mark Giordano, again had a spectacular game, with a plus 2 rating.

A player who impressed me tonight, that I have not me...

I've been meaning to write this blog for a while now. As you know, "Unsportsmanlike Conduct" is my weekly look at the NHL. Occasionally when there is nothing much exciting happening in the league, I'm going to focus a team instead random general comments. Today, my focus is the Calgary Flames.
A few things to point out before I get into this: First, being the...

Will Jarome Iginla get traded? That’s entirely up to him
Jarome Iginla has played a grand total of 1106 NHL games, all of them with the Calgary Flames. At this point, it seems like it would be sacrilege to see him play in another uniform.
But that's where we may be headed. Iginla has played in only 54 NHL playoff games, 26 of them in one postseason, and it's beginning to look as though, if he remains in Calgary, he won't be...
