A New Series

The Flames never make it easy on their fans. They managed to blow a 4-1 lead in the space of seven minutes, and were one bad period away from virtually guaranteeing another first round exit, but on the backs of a new top line of Eric Nystrom, Olli Jokinen, and Jarome Iginla, they have...

Is James Sheppard a bust?

There is this mind set that we have to give James Sheppard a break because he is young and needs to grow. Under Doug Risebrough he was untouchable. I don't see anything in this kids play that leads me to believe that he is going to come to camp next season and light it up. Just...

It's Time to Pack Up the 'Cats

If you stuck with the Caps' victory in south Florida all the way through the final, shotless frame for the hosts last night, you saw a vast bowl of emptiness surround the ice sheet. It was only moderately filled two hours earlier. Seated invisibily down low were the ghosts of...

Welcome Home, Theo Fleury

Oilers Spoil, Division Hopes Over

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...

Heartbreak In Vancouver, Courtesy Luongo

This blog is late because last night was one of those games so frustrating I could scarcely form a coherent thought afterwards (in the midst of a nasty flu to boot). In a game that probably decided the division, the Flames were simply robbed by Roberto Luongo despite one of their best...
