We've got random posts popping up about the demise of Sportsnet 650. Seems they're likely done - shut down (coincidentally?) after Rogers completed their buying of the leaves.... Yeah, they shut down 960 in Calgary also. Fucking Rogers.... :evil: :evil: Also, for me, who didn't really like or hate ...

The new oil pipeline from Alberta to the west coast is a go! BC gets substantial financial benefit in the form of billions of dollars worth of investment and Alberta gets their new pipeline. Seems like a win-win situation.

Netminding... Speaking of which, your boy Freddy Andersen is the new Coiler starter. This should be interesting He looked alright in Carolina because they had a great D. The Oilers just got worse with the departure of Nurse and the addition of a couple of D men that aren't as good as Nurse. The ...

When you are retired, it's just another Wednesday

I generally like the Flames draft picks over the weekend, except for Joe Iginla. My buddies' grandson played with Joe when he was with the Oil Kings. He says that Joe will never be an NHLer. Got drafted because of the last name. Otherwise, good draft. Love the Flames future D, with Nemec, Praekh ...

Gally will be a good fit, I figure. Show the kids how to be a pro, look out for them on the ice. He knows the score, and from his quotes he seems good with it. Better than EastVander. Half-retained for future considerations. Final year of his contract. A gentleman’s deal if ever there was in this l ...

Reid, Bjorck, Carels all there for Calgary - wow. I thought they would take Bjork Well, that was the other choice. I think they are looking toward the 2027 draft, where there are a lot of centres. Winners are built from the goal out. They have Wolfe in goal, and now 4 great D men/prospects. They ...

Carels is the guy I thought we would pick. I love the D that the Flames are building. Bahl, Parekh, Nemec and now Carels - great top 4 D going forward.

Reid, Bjorck, Carels all there for Calgary - wow.

Daxon Rudolph - 4th overall. I have a neighbour who used to be a scout for the Canes and he was really high on Rudolph, so the scouts obviously see something in him. Good pick.

Well I imagine there will be a few of you that aren't happy with that pick.

Regarding Carels injury - he went head first into the boards during the playoffs- some facial injuries, but no concussion was reported. I think he will be the guy the Flames draft at 6 (assuming he's still available).

Apparently, Carels is recovering from a concussion. The Flames were looking into the health of one of the top draft choices and the assumption is that it is Carels. This may affect his draft status.

With the Canucks and the Flames, drafting at 3rd and 6th, they are both getting good players. There isn't going to be much difference between 3 and 7 in this draft.

@BcExpat https://i.imgur.com/AB3Remo.png The Calgary Flames have interest in Macklin Celebrini. Sounds like they'd be willing to part with a second for him. I think SJ would have to add - :lol: :lol: :lol: Zary's career was side tracked by injuries. He is a middle 6 forward at best. I had high ...
