Adversity Doesn't Keep Blues from Winning
November 30th, 2019 Depth for an NHL team isn’t just about having four solid lines. It’s also about the affiliate teams grooming the young guys and housing journeyman players.

Blues Notes: Blais Hurt, Brouwer Signed, Kyrou Time?
November 21st, 2019 The St. Louis Blues are defending Stanley Cup Champions, but apparently, that doesn't guarantee safe passage through the following season.

Flames Focused on Results, Not Sentiments
October 1st, 2018 It's been well-documented that the Calgary Flames fell well below expectations in the 2017-18 National Hockey League season. If the theme of last season was "dashed expectations," the theme of the following off-season was "sober second thought." A year ago, the Flames roster and coaching staff was full of sentimental favourites...

Flickering Flames Face Floundering Firepower
November 10th, 2017 On paper, the Calgary Flames are a team that should be an offensive force to be reckoned with. Their lineup includes several former all-stars, many high draft selections, and an all-time legend in the form of Jaromir Jagr. Yet through the first 15 games of the 2017-18 season, they're a team that has been extremely top-heavy...
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...
NHL Players & Fans Deserve Game Misconduct
September 24th, 2017 Anyone making a hullabaloo out of the recent uptick in faceoff violations and slashing minors is terribly misguided.
