Longtime NHL Centre Matt Stajan Retires After Time with Leafs, Flames

Longtime NHL Centre Matt Stajan Retires After Time with Leafs, Flames

December 3rd, 2019 TORONTO — Matt Stajan has retired from pro hockey following 14 seasons in the NHL. The 35-year-old native of Mississauga, Ont., had 413 points (146 goals, 267 assists) in 1,003 career NHL games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames. Matt Stajan #18, Calgary Flames (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers) A...
Boston Bruins PTO Options

Boston Bruins PTO Options

August 10th, 2018 We have reached the point in the summer where the talk shifts from free agent signings and trades, to training camp invites. Almost every team uses the professional tryout tool, and the Boston Bruins have been no exception over the years. Remember, prior to the 2015-16 season, the B's found backup goaltender Jonas Gustavsson via the PTO....
Underappreciated Stajan Hits Milestone

Underappreciated Stajan Hits Milestone

March 21st, 2018 The world of sports is often a world of "what have you done for me lately?" Big trades are often followed by big regrets, and quite often players brought over in big swaps are the subject of doubts, criticisms and even resentment from fans and management alike. Matt Stajan joined the Calgary Flames in January 2010 as part of the...
Backlund's Big Raise Looming

Backlund's Big Raise Looming

November 8th, 2017 There's no question Mikael Backlund is playing the best hockey of his career right now. He's finally moulded into the centerman the Calgary Flames hoped he'd become when they drafted him back in 2007. He set a career-high in points last season with 53 points (22 goals, 31 assists), surpassing his previous best 47 points from the 2015-16...
Flames Need to Swap These Three

Flames Need to Swap These Three

October 23rd, 2017 There's a lot to like about the 2017-18 Calgary Flames roster, but there are also a few pieces that just don't quite fit the puzzle anymore. Players like Mike Smith, Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, and T.J. Brodie have been great, and obviously aren't going anywhere. Michael Ferland and Sam Bennett have undoubtedly struggled to start...
Who Could the Flames Lose to Vegas?

Who Could the Flames Lose to Vegas?

May 17th, 2017 The NHL Expansion Draft is under two months away and soon enough the thousands of mock expansion drafts will be nothing more than a shell of how the actual expansion draft shakes out. Unlike the case for many teams around the league, the Calgary Flames' management group isn't really in a position where they need to sweat heading into...
7 Years Later, Who Won the Phaneuf Deal?

7 Years Later, Who Won the Phaneuf Deal?

January 31st, 2017 He spent parts of seven seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and captained them for six of them. Now, seven years after the Leafs traded for Dion Phaneuf, the defenceman platoons the blue line in Ottawa and fans of both the Flames and Leafs are left questioning whether or not there was a winner from the seven-player blockbuster between...
Handicapping Expansion Draft for the Flames

Handicapping Expansion Draft for the Flames

December 11th, 2016 When the National Hockey League celebrates its 100th birthday in November 2017, it'll do so with 31 member clubs. The Vegas Golden Knights will begin play in 2017-18 and the hockey operations departments of the 30 currently-existing NHL teams are frantically preparing for the expansion draft process, slated for June 2017. The Calgary...
Decision Time on Matthew Tkachuk

Decision Time on Matthew Tkachuk

November 1st, 2016 For all intents and purposes, Matthew Tkachuk has come in with the Calgary Flames and made a positive impact. Through this time, we see some issues with his game, but these are largely outweighed by the absolute positives. In terms of possession metrics, Tkachuk is a darling — something the Flames have been longing for in their...
Will Micheal Ferland Breakout This Season?

Will Micheal Ferland Breakout This Season?

September 8th, 2016 If there is one player on the Calgary Flames roster that hockey people look at with a combination of excitement and confusion, it's forward Micheal Ferland. On paper, Ferland is a scout's dream come true. He's 6'2" and 200 pounds. He's built like an oak, and moves around the ice much better than you would expect from a player of his...
The Flames Found Flexibility Up The Middle

The Flames Found Flexibility Up The Middle

April 8th, 2016 Once upon a time, the Calgary Flames had a blessing and a curse. The blessing was the presence of Jarome Iginla, one of the most naturally-talented players of his generation, on the team's roster. The curse was their continual inability to match Iginla up with a centerman of comparable talent. For the vast majority of his 16 seasons with...
Looking Back At The Dion Phaneuf Trade

Looking Back At The Dion Phaneuf Trade

February 1st, 2016 It's hard to believe but one of the biggest blockbusters made by the Toronto Maple Leafs happened six years ago today. On January 31, 2010, Brian Burke shocked a lot of people when he sent Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Ian White and Jamal Mayers to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Dion Phaneuf, Fredrik Sjostrom and Keith Aulie. At the...
Shades of 2004: The Flames Impress in the Playoffs

Shades of 2004: The Flames Impress in the Playoffs

April 27th, 2015 Way, way back in 2004, the Calgary Flames opened a lot of eyes and leaped forward in their organization's development. Aided by a rag-tag group of seemingly mis-matched players playing a very specific style of hockey, the Flames beat three division-winning clubs en route to a berth in the Stanley Cup Final. It was one of the most...
Hockey News: Blackhawks, Flames Advance

Hockey News: Blackhawks, Flames Advance

April 26th, 2015 It doesn't seem to matter the opponent; the Chicago Blackhawks will just continue to make their mark on the NHL. After falling behind to the Nashville Predators 2-0 and 3-1 in the first period, the Blackhawks just kept on pressing and, with the help of a Duncan Keith goal at 16:12 of the third period, they skated away with a 4-3...
