How the Habs Won and Lost the Cammalleri Trade
Posted on 13 Jan 2012 by Corey Krakower.
On the surface; the Mike Cammalleri-Rene Bourque swap is a push. Both players were struggling on their respective teams this year and will likely be better off with a fresh start elsewhere. Cammalleri is a more skilled and dynamic player than Bourque, but over the past few years, their production is virtually the same in terms of goals. The difference between the two is how they score their goa...

Flaming Hot: Tavares, Lawson Lead Isles Past Calgary 5-2
Posted on 4 Jan 2011 by Patrick Creighton.
Nathan Lawson made 28 saves in relief of Rick DiPietro, and John Tavares scored 2 goals to lead the Islanders to a 5-2 victory over the Calgary Flames last night at the Saddledome. The suddenly streaking Isles are now 7-1-1 in their last 9. Lawson, recalled from Bridgeport after the trade of G Dwayne Roloson, was pressed into action in the second period when starter Rick DiPietro was for...

Leafs Nation: On to VAN City
Posted on 17 Dec 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
Well, one and one on this trip through Alberta. Not terrible, but really if you expected the Leafs to come out on the positive side of .500 on this stretch of games, these were the two ripe for the taking. Watching Calgary last night really drives home Dion Phaneuf's point about the Leafs being too small and too soft in the forward corps. Watching the Flames out muscle the Leafs for pucks a...

The Decision – Ilya Kovalchuk Edition
Posted on 11 Jul 2010 by Corey Krakower.
Scheduled to air tonight on ESPN was supposed to be “The Decision – Ilya Kovalchuk edition”. Unfortunately, ESPN was forced to cancel the show and instead aired the world archery qualifiers. Priorities, I guess. The interview transcript leaked out and we at ProSportsBlogging managed to get our hands on the interview. Hello Ilya, thanks for doing this. First off; what made you want to do t...

Call Me A Whiner
Posted on 22 Apr 2010 by Luke Mirza.
The Canucks beat the Kings 6-4 on the road at the Staples Center in LA and avoided going down 3-1 in the series. Going back home for game 5 is a good thing, the Canucks have been very good on home ice and hopefully they will be able to come out with some aggressive hockey and show the fans they really want to be winners. So I managed to spit that out… now call me a whiner. I should be hap...

Out With A Whimper
Posted on 11 Apr 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
Well for those Flames fans that hoped that the Flames would go out Saturday night and try to send a message for next year, I'm sorry to say you were sorely disappointed. I have a good feeling that the only person happy with the way yesterdays game turned out was Henrik Sedin. His four assist effort in last night's game of shinny gave him a three point lead over Alexander Ovechkin in the race fo...

Forty Six!
Posted on 9 Apr 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
Forty six times this season the Calgary Flames have scored two or fewer goals in a game. I want you to think about that number for a second. So forty six times the Flames have asked their goaltender to allow one goal or less in order to win a game. It's actually shocking how close the Flames were to making the playoffs with that number. Last night was the same story it has been all season in th...

The Castle Lights Are Growing Dim…
Posted on 5 Apr 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
Can anyone else hear Vincent Price getting ready to read the Flames into the sweet goodnight of missing the playoffs? Combining the Flames 4-1 loss to the Black Hawks, along with the Avalanche beating the Sharks 5-4 in OT have put the Flames on the brink of elimination. The Flames actually came out and played a pretty good game against the Hawks, but after dominating most of the first period of...

Through the Looking Glass to July 1 – Assessing the Market for Goalies
Posted on 3 Apr 2010 by Corey Krakower.
In the second of three segments previewing the offseason UFA market, this week’s edition will look at the goaltending depth of each team heading into the summer, and what each team’s expected plan of attack will be. Note that it was assumed that every RFA will re-sign, which obviously won’t be the case; and when identifying top prospects, only those deemed to be close to NHL ready were li...
