The Flames play the Chicago Blackhawks today at 1pm in the Saddledome. It should be a good game, but there’s more in the air now that it’s 2006….
If you are looking for something to read in between periods, get yourself stoked for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Turin Italy (Feb 2006) by reading the NHL.com Olympic hockey teams preview.
It runs down all 12 teams that will be competing for the Gold Medal. It includes the Usual Suspects who are sure to be the stars of each team; the Happy To Be There players who are just that; the Strengths and Weaknesses and What To Expect.
The Preview is a good way to get ready for the Hockey action in Turin.
