Revisiting the Bruins Trade for Horton

Revisiting the Bruins Trade for Horton

January 10th, 2021 On May 5, 2010, the Boston Bruins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 in Game 3 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals for a commanding 3-0 series lead. Needing to win just one of their next four games to advance to the Conference Final against the hated Montreal Canadiens, it seemed the Bruins and Habs were destined to battle for a berth...
Predicting PTOs: 62 Potential Tryouts

Predicting PTOs: 62 Potential Tryouts

August 24th, 2017 Tis the season, with September fast approaching and training camps not far off, that NHL teams will start extending tryouts to the remaining unrestricted free agents. Affectionately known as PTOs — professional tryouts — in the world of hockey lingo. And there are many leftovers worthy of consideration this year, with only a...
Flames Will Need A Strong Supporting Cast

Flames Will Need A Strong Supporting Cast

April 10th, 2017 The Calgary Flames will need outstanding performances from their entire supporting cast of players if they want to upset the Anaheim Ducks in the playoffs. Late in the season, head coach Glen Gulutzan found some good chemistry on a third line composed of Kris Versteeg, Sam Bennett, and Alex Chiasson, which was an encouraging...
Flames Should Re-sign Stone

Flames Should Re-sign Stone

March 31st, 2017 Since joining the Calgary Flames, Michael Stone has been a big part of the team's hot play. Stone has been a good fit on Calgary's second defence pair, but as the days go by, Stone creeps closer to becoming a free agent. So with contracts expiring at the end of the season and positions vacant, the Flames are going to be searching for...
Scapegoats Shine in Flames Win

Scapegoats Shine in Flames Win

March 14th, 2017 Are Dennis Wideman, Deryk Engelland and Troy Brouwer overpaid or over the hill? Maybe, but the Calgary Flames needed them to beat the Stanley Cup Champions. Okay, they also needed this amazing goal from Johnny Gaudreau. Still, the scapegoat story line is something no one would've expected when the Flames played the Penguins in a key...
Flames Monday Musings: Record-Setting Week

Flames Monday Musings: Record-Setting Week

March 13th, 2017 A franchise record nine straight wins, ten of their past eleven, and a full calendar month since the Calgary Flames last lost in regulation – a 5-0 setback to the Arizona Coyotes on February 13th that feels like an eternity ago. https://twitter.com/SNstats/status/840791132451794944 It’s not just that the Flames are winning at...
The Door Is Open for Bartkowski

The Door Is Open for Bartkowski

February 18th, 2017 After bringing Matt Bartkowski in on a PTO earlier this week, the Calgary Flames signed the 28 year-old defenseman to a two-year, two-way deal on Thursday. Now, the question is where does Bartkowski fit within the Flames’ defense core?  Not projected to be much more than a bottom-pairing defenseman, the team is certainly hoping he...
Flames Monday Musings: Back on Track

Flames Monday Musings: Back on Track

February 6th, 2017 What a game. There were plenty of fireworks, bursts of offense and genuine emotion between two teams that have no history of a rivalry. No, not Superbowl LI, but a fantastic contest between the Calgary Flames and New York Rangers in a matinee before the big one. http://gty.im/633231192 Matinee games are often a challenge for...
Who Can Play With T.J. Brodie?

Who Can Play With T.J. Brodie?

February 6th, 2017 T.J. Brodie is the first Calgary Flames defenseman since 2008 to record four assists in a game. He is a great asset, but he needs a better defense partner. In truth, Brodie has also had a pretty terrible year. He is on pace to drop more than 10 points from his offensive total from last season and he has a plus-minus rating of...
Does Wideman Have Any Trade Value?

Does Wideman Have Any Trade Value?

February 6th, 2017 If you spend any time at all with a fan of the Calgary Flames during one of their games, two things will inevitably happen. First, that person will at some point loudly complain about Dennis Wideman. Second, that person will openly ponder why the Flames haven't traded Wideman yet. Wideman Has a Controversial Past Most discussions of...
Flames' Playoff Push Lacks Urgency

Flames' Playoff Push Lacks Urgency

January 11th, 2017 What a difference a week makes. Just when their strong special teams seemed to be leading the Calgary Flames to the playoffs, they've jeopardized it with poor play. Nothing demonstrated that more than Monday's 2-0 shutout loss to the Winnipeg Jets, a team that was reeling after losing Patrik Laine to a concussion on Saturday. The...
Flames Options to Replace Wideman

Flames Options to Replace Wideman

January 6th, 2017 Dennis Wideman certainly still has some offensive gas left in the tank, but it has become more and more clear over the past year and a half that the 33-year-old blueliner is nearing the end of the road and is no longer capable of playing the minutes he once could. With a deal worth $5.25 million per season expiring at the end of this...
Flames Should Trade Wideman

Flames Should Trade Wideman

December 19th, 2016 After a string of wins, all of a sudden the Calgary Flames can seriously be considered a playoff contender. In light of turning their season around, the Flames have likely looked at scrapping any plans of selling at the trade deadline. That being said, moving a single player could help the Flames in the long run, and that single...
Moves Hard to Find for Flames

Moves Hard to Find for Flames

December 16th, 2016 Early in the 2016-17 season, the Calgary Flames were in rough shape. The team's stars were struggling to find their games. The games weren't anything to write home about. The team lost many more games than they won. Fans were calling for changes and, with Glen Gulutzan newly inserted in the post of head coach, a trade was the most likely...
It's Not 'Go Time' yet Flames

It's Not 'Go Time' yet Flames

November 8th, 2016 The Calgary Flames marketing slogan this season is “It’s Go Time” but so far the team looks far from being ready to take the next step in their rebuild. The effort on the ice is usually quite valiant but as they return from yet another failed west coast road trip, with their NHL record-setting string of 24-straight losses at the...
