The Calgary Flames seem to have found their groove, and as a result have yet to lose a game in regulation in the month of December. If they can keep getting All-Star level play from Iginla, Huselius, and Phaneuf, and if Kiprusoff can show up every night the may become one of the favorites...

It's well documented that I'm a big believer in sports mojo, so having the Sharks battle the Calgary Flames in the first round wasn't exactly ideal for me. Anything that involves former coach Darryl Sutter exacting revenge on the team that fired him worries me; throw in...

San Jose looked to sweep their two-game trip to Alberta by following their win in Edmonton by gaining two points in Calgary. It would be a strong netminding battle with former teammates Evgeni Nabokov and Miikka Kiprusoff guarding the pipes.
New Sharks versus old Sharks
I tuned into the first game of the first round series between the Sharks and Flames expecting to see…well the Sharks and Flames. Instead, it looked to me like I was watching the Sharks of old play the Sharks of now and it made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Hockey Team Dooms Children, Elderly
Because the prairie provinces are generally uncontroversial, and those few controversies are always hockey-related, the latest media storm in Calgary is due to the Flames jumping the line to receive the swine flu vaccine. While Alberta suffers an H1N1 vaccine shortage, the Calgary...

It started out as badly as any Flames fan's greatest fear: The Sharks came out guns-a-blazing, and the Flames looked tentative and nervous. So nervous in fact that the Sharks seemed to create chances at will, scored three goals, rattled Miikka Kiprusoff and looked like they would...

Flames Win in Toronto for First Time Since 2000
