I believe it was the worst, objectively speaking, game I have seen all year. Uninspired play from both sides, atrocious reffing, mediocre goaltending and defense, bad ice. It all added up to a 5-1 drubbing of the Flames by the Edmonton Oilers in a must-win game for the Flames. The...
Flames Win in Toronto for First Time Since 2000
I suppose that Flames fans should be happy that they won tonight, taking their first 2 points away from Toronto since 2000. But after the way they played, I'm not sure we can be so happy. Sure the Flames took 5 of a total 6 points on their 3-game road trip through the eastern conference...

Oh, wait, sorry. Sean Avery got a 6-game suspension today for a joke, however unfunny you might find it. That means Gary Bettman puts Avery calling Paris Hilton's co-star in House of Wax "sloppy seconds" (a true term in high schools all around the nation) up there with...
