Today in Hockey History: Aug 18

August 18th, 2020 The New York Rangers and San Jose Sharks have been the busiest teams on Aug. 18 throughout National Hockey League history. In addition, on this date, a new captain was named in Toronto. Gilmour Gets the “C” On Aug. 18, 1994, the Toronto Maple Leafs named Doug Gilmour the 15th team captain in franchise history.

Today in Hockey History, May 2

May 2nd, 2020 There were quite a few memorable postseason moments to occur on this date throughout the history of the National Hockey League. The final Stanley Cup champion before the expansion era was crowned as well as plenty of wins in the City of Brotherly Love. The End of an Era in Toronto May 2, 1967, is a date remembered by both those...
Top 3 All-Time Flames Goalies

Top 3 All-Time Flames Goalies

February 10th, 2020 The goaltending history of the Calgary Flames franchise has been punctuated by a handful of excellent performances in a desert of otherwise unremarkable ones. In an effort to separate the wheat from the chaff, here are the three best goaltenders in the history of the Flames franchise. 3. Dan Bouchard Dan Bouchard (Hockey Hall of...
Chris Osgood Hall of Fame Worthy

Chris Osgood Hall of Fame Worthy

November 13th, 2017 My first memory of Chris Osgood is when he played for the old AHL Adirondack Red Wings. Between the Albany fans and Adirondack fans who made the trip down the Northway from Glens Falls in bunches, it was hard not to hear chants raining down his name. One didn't need a program with stats either to see Osgood was going to be a great goalie...
Next Flames Numbers to be Retired

Next Flames Numbers to be Retired

July 27th, 2017 The Calgary Flames are a team with an understated amount of history. Joining the National Hockey League in 1972-73 as the Atlanta Flames, the club has been part of the league for parts of five decades and in Calgary for nearly 40 years. Despite boasting a roster that has featured numerous Hockey Hall of Fame inductees over the years, the...
Flames Hoping 25th Time's the Charm

Flames Hoping 25th Time's the Charm

April 4th, 2017 In November 2016, the Calgary Flames broke an NHL record for consecutive losses in one building with their 24th straight defeat at the Honda Centre in Anaheim. On Wednesday, April 5th, they could make it 25 times lucky. Let’s endeavour to put this remarkable record into perspective while somehow remaining optimistic, despite last...
Top 10 Flames Goalies of All-Time

Top 10 Flames Goalies of All-Time

January 27th, 2017 Chad Johnson and Brian Elliott would probably testify that it isn't easy to be a goalie for the Calgary Flames. After all, only nine goalies have played more than 100 games for the Flames since they came to Calgary in 1980 and the team has missed the playoffs in 14 of the 36 seasons they have been in the NHL. During their history, the...
The Detroit Red Wings Alumni Dream Team: Defense and Goalies

The Detroit Red Wings Alumni Dream Team: Defense and Goalies

September 2nd, 2015 Now that the forwards have been “chosen” for the Detroit Red Wings' alumni game against the Avalanche alumni, it’s time to pick the defensemen and goaltenders who best represent the Wings from their rivalry days. The alumni are scheduled to take on Colorado on February 16, 2016, a day prior to the NHL Stadium Series game featuring...
Joe Colborne: Living Up to the Flames Legacy

Joe Colborne: Living Up to the Flames Legacy

March 7th, 2014 Joe Colborne and I are alike in a few ways. We're both from Calgary. We both grew up playing local minor hockey. We both grew up cheering for the Flames. Decades later, we're both involved in the hockey world in Calgary - I'm in the media, while Joe plays for the Calgary Flames. I think it's safe to say two things: that's where...

Rock Out for the Lockout: The Calgary Flames are "Red Hot"

November 3rd, 2012 With the NHL lockout firmly in place and both sides entrenched for what may be a long, drawn out battle, we're taking this opportunity to explore the musical side of the National Hockey League. Each week, we'll see what happens when hockey and music collide. Join us as we Rock Out for the Lockout. The 1987 Calgary Flames - "Red...
Goalie Fights?  Yeah, Goalie Fights!

Goalie Fights? Yeah, Goalie Fights!

October 28th, 2012 Although bench clearing brawls are more than rare compared to hockey of yesteryear, there's still a line where a brawl can cross over to the next level.  Typically that line is crossed when the goalies cross the line and enter into the fray.  Considering that most goalies don't fight, most goalie fights don't often end well for one of...
Calgary Flames: Forever a Shame

Calgary Flames: Forever a Shame

July 27th, 2012 While the immediate on-ice future of the Calgary Flames is anything but predictable, one constant that will remain part of the organization going forward is the continuation of the Forever a Flame program.  The controversial honorary process was first implemented this past winter when former Flame defenseman great Al MacInnis saw his...
Hungry Howie: Jimmy Howard's Appetite for Excellence

Hungry Howie: Jimmy Howard's Appetite for Excellence

November 16th, 2011 Boasting an 8-4-1 record and a tied-for-league-best 3 shutouts, Jimmy Howard is attracting attention from around the league much like he did during his rookie campaign 2 seasons ago, and at just $2.25 million a year, many would argue that he's a bargain. With top-notch starters around the league making triple (or even quadruple in...
