I can’t remember the last time I saw a hockey game that featured 13 goals. I also can’t remember the last time that an empty net goal was the game winner, especially when that empty netter gave the winning team a 3-goal lead. But such was the case in this crazy game as the Calgary [...]
In case you missed it, we’re playing street hockey today and you’re invited to come out and support a good cause. Last year we raised a total of 640lbs of food for the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank when Five Hole For Food came to town. How much will we raise this year? Who knows?!! Calgary [...]

Thanks for a great season Flames fans! Though it’s been another tough one with no post-season appearance from the Flames, it has been fun to connect with so many of you online and in person. I’ve learned that there are a thousand different opinions on what it takes to make a good hockey team and [...]
With his penalty shot goal on Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne in the 2nd period tonight, Jarome Iginla has joined an elite group of NHL scorers who have shown a consistent ability to put the puck in the net. Iginla scored his 30th goal of the season for the 10th season in a row. Only [...]

I went down to the Danone Superskills competition on Sunday and checked it out and it was a fun event. The Saddledome was as loud as I’ve heard it in a while, which is was probably due to the fact that most people that were in there don’t go that often. The majority of fans [...]
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. After a disastrous start to the 2010-2011 season, the Calgary Flames announced today that Darryl Sutter has resigned as the Executive Vice-President and General Manager of the team. Jay Feaster will assume acting duties as General Manager of the Flames. I’ve seen this before, so don’t [...]
Five years ago today I posted my first Red Mile Blog post the day before the 2005-2006 season opened. It took me a while to realize that today was the anniversary of the day it all began, but after a quick check of the RMB archives I realized that it all started on October 4, [...]
In a move that I don’t ever remember seeing in the NHL before (correct me if I’m wrong) the Flames played 2 games in one night against the Vancouver Canucks; one game in Calgary and one game in Vancouver. The Flames split their top 2 lines between the teams and chose to dress Miikka Kiprusoff [...]
I have to hand it to the NHL. The commercials they’ve played during this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs are great. They started with the “history will be made” commericals featuring Lemieux, Gretzky, Roy, Orr, and then expanded it to include more Stanley Cup heros from the past. I was waiting for the Stevie Y one, [...]
