Calgary Flames Game Day: Stay the Course
Now that my website has finished all the necessary upgrades, it’s time to return the talk to this Calgary Flames team. After a spectacular Heritage Classic event, where the Calgary Flames went on to defeat the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 (or as some ‘for sale’ tickets online stated, the “Montreal Canadians vs. the Edmonton Flames”…blasphemy!), the Flames [...]
TweetFlames Seek to Retain Playoff Position Against the Senators Tonight
AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Larry MacDougal 8th place has never sounded so sweet. This feeling of pure bliss was welcoming us Flames fans in on Monday after a win against the Chicago Blackhawks put the Flames back in a playoff position for the first time since October. But Miss Playoff Position is a cruel, fickle b****, and the [...]
TweetGame Day: Flames Facing Struggling Blackhawks
Every time the Flames faced the Blackhawks last year, I cringed, curled up into the fetal position, and rocked back and forth in a corner praying for it all to end. This season, things are a bit different, and I’m all for continuing to shatter the confidence of an under-achieving Blackhawks team. Believe it or [...]
TweetCalgary Flames Game Day: Let’s Make It Seven?
After surpassing Colorado and moving up to 11th place, the Flames are currently tied with both Chicago and Los Angeles with 58 points. So while it may start to sound redundant, yes, tonight’s game against the Kings is a big one. It’s safe to say that every game from here on out is a “big one.” [...]
TweetCalgary Flames: Give Me Five!
Just like I do with my nephew, I’m relentlessly pestered the Flames to give me five until they gave in and did it in the most mediocre way possible. Five games, that is. Against Nashville….always a thriller. That’s right, the Flames are officially riding a five-game streak that currently puts them in a four-way 56 [...]
TweetBreak Out the Crown! The Flames Are Only Two Points Back
If there’s anything I’ve learned in my time as a Flames fan, it’s to get my hopes up way high and expect only excellence! WOOOOO CUP RUN! OK, that’s a lie. But if there’s one thing I could say at this moment, it’s that this was definitely not expected. The Calgary Flames are only two [...]
TweetDo I Stand Corrected? Flames, Please Go Ahead and Prove Me Wrong
I’m not one to eat my words often. Well, that’s mainly because I’m never wrong! Besides that though, I’m far too damn stubborn, and I’m OK with that. But when it comes to the Flames, if they want to go ahead and continue this tear, make the playoffs, and hopefully destroy the hopes and dreams [...]
TweetCalgary Flames: Sigh….What Can I Say?
If last night didn’t convince you, nothing will. Playoffs, though mathematically still possibly, are pretty much out of the picture. While the Flames have accomplished what they set out to do – playing around .666 hockey – it’s only good enough to not have them eliminated from the picture completely. Who’s hot? (crickets) Well, I’m [...]
TweetCalgary Flames Seek Third Straight Win Tonight in Montreal
It’s been a relatively successful Eastern road trip thus far for the Flames (collecting five of a possible six points), most recently including a shootout defeat of the Toronto Maple Leafs. That one was a huge win for the Flames, mainly because I there were so many Leafs fans that I had to ruthlessly mock. [...]
TweetDear Sports Fans: There Is Not A Conspiracy Against Your Team
It’s inevitable. You’re going to hear it from every sports fan. “Why does the league hate my team?” While I’m mainly a hockey follower, I don’t doubt that this is a common statement from every professional sports league. “Well maybe if the NBA wasn’t busy humping the Lakers every 2 seconds…” “Nothing is going to [...]
