  1. I'm looking forward to that Young Stars prospect tourney. Real hockey with all teams young players trying to impress the brass. Beats the heck out of football or any other sport.

      I've been enjoying other sports more than usual this summer (even baseball) but I'm dying for some hockey too.

      Canucks fans don't really have much to look forward to.

  2. RIP Chico Maki.

      Ditto...You know you're a little older when you remember players such as Chico Maki & his younger brother Tom who left the mortal world in 1974...

  3. Happy 4th of July to all our American posters

      Thanks. Awesome beverage and BBQ day after it stopped raining.

  4. For those that didn't notice there's a jersey contest on the Flames main page. I've already entered but want to make sure you all have a chance as well. Good luck everyone.

  5. Theo Fleury will be recieving an honorary degree from Brandon U May 29.

  6. The Flames will have an ad in tomorrow's Wpg. Free Press congratulating the Jets. It's a Canadian flag super-imposed over the white-out. I thought it was a real class thing to do.

  7. I re-opened all 4 divisional guesses threads & commented on my predictions. They are now handy if anyone else cares to do the same.

  8. Was Sasha Lakovic an NHL qualitity player? Or does he just have the most pro league sweaters (17)?

  9. Just want to say "Get Gold Canada!"

      What a fun game. However, TSN saying it was one of the best gold games in WJC history...sorry, the Toews goals take it.

  10. I'm happy Stajan will be back Sat. He went from a player I had no use for to 1 that I respect. He remade himself into a better all around player. That's hard work that needs to be respected.

  11. RIP Pat Quinn (71) & Viktor Tikhonov (84).

      Kulstad

      Sad day for hockey on both sides of the pond. Loved Tikhonov's Red Army teams, and Quinn was a very well-respected coach. Hockey in the afterlife just got a lot better.

  12. I like a lot of the new features & the return of chat. Heck of a good outcome from that meeting Kulstad & Pyro.

  13. Anyone else finding the yellow on white hard to read? No contrast.

      All fixed, as of 3:00PM Calgary time today.

      Yeaaaay

      Had many other issues with page not loading right. Seems to be ok.

  14. For those that haven't heard there is an armed guy in fatigues spotted in a Cochrane park. RCMP paramilitary & HAWCS helicopter dispatched.

      And people wonder why our police forces act the way they do.

  15. I read about what the Flames did for Nathan O'Brien's team. Very nice.

      My niece linked 6 pistures of Glencross, Mike Green, Elyniuk, Couture, Barb Cuffley, Doug Crashley & Harvey the Hound visiting the Springbank Timbits Senators. I'll ask where she found it.

    3. Flyerfan52

      Flyerfan52

      A friend of hers named Greg Head had that & other tributes on his facebook page. Seems he's a friend of the O'Brien family & was there.

    4. Wreckening

      Oh ok thanks. Cudos to the Flames for being there for them. Just can't say enough about this organization.

  16. I watched the 2005 WJC again yesterday. The TC roster was incredible.

      baljflames13

      That was truly a year to remember. But with COnner Mcdavid, reinhart and possibly bennet i think we will do well

  17. Enjoy the Stampede everyone. Last year DD & others worked hard to get things ready after the flood. If you caught 1 of the breakfasts 1 of my nieces might have been the 1 pouring your coffee.

  18. Happy Canada Day everyone.

      Thanks FF and the same to you and to everyone who posts here.

  19. June 24th TSN is running a show about playing to lose. It's titled The Lemieux Draft (probably because that was the most glaring example).

      Flyerfan52

      Well Peeps, the Pens won 2 (7 & 8 years later) after drafting Lemieux & spending 6 years out of the playoffs. They won 1 after 4 more (would have been 5 if not for the lockout) to draft Crosby, Malkin & that bunch 3 years later. We got 1 Cup without having to sink into the mire so are 2 Cups worth 11 years of tanking? Not if you cheer for wins.

      If you want to win, then you can't be afraid to lose.

    4. Flyerfan52

      Flyerfan52

      That could apply to losing out on the next "Next 1" too. I've seen a lot of highly touted players called that but no Grtez or Orr so far.

  20. Wow! Vanek to Isles for Moulson, 2014 1st rounder & 2015 2nd.

    1. Wreckening

      Wreckening

      great player....not worth that much though.

    2. Flyerfan52

      Flyerfan52

      As a rental Isles overpay. Moulson is a rental too but unless he craps the bed without JT he'll reap a 2nd @ the deadline.

    3. Wreckening

      Wreckening

      The stupid thing is the draft picks aren't even conditional to Vanek signing. Isles got fleeced.

  21. I won't start a thread about it but Roman Hanrlik retired.

    1. s4xon

      s4xon

      Yeah, Hamrlik and Biron. Both over Twitter.

      I liked when we had the Hammer and Dion on the back end, that was an explosive pair.

      Solid player.

  22. Happy Canada Day everyone

      Right back at ya FF!

      And to you as well sir. Happy Canada Day to all.

  23. From the media it sounds bad. Take care & be safe everyone.

    1. TrippinVdUb

      Its crazy out here, cant explain how much water there is right now

      they closed the bridge between my work and house about 15 mins after I crossed it, no way back home as of right now...

  24. DGB under his other persona of Grantland has an interesting article about hockey injuries. He warns some of the clips aren't for the squeamish. He's right. If blood scares you don't watch the clips.

  25. Since I don't see a mention anywhere else on the board I'll do it.

      May 25, 1989 Captain Lanny McDonald & the Flames win the Stanley Cup.

      Loved that time in my life. I just wish it wasn't 24 years ago, and only once.
