Flames Game/Snappy Blog Title

Posted November 10, 2010
Newman is on hiatus for about a week, so I'll be trying to fill the daily negative, I mean reality-check based, Flames' blogs that he is so aptly known for. Last night the Flames gave up the first goal of the game for the first time in as long as I can remember. Maybe we should get back into the Delorean and get it up to 88 mph ... nope, I'll just use the internet. It was on October 16th again... Read More »

Toothless Sharks

Posted September 8, 2010
The San Jose Sharks are a machine when it comes to the regular season. A well oiled, mean, machine at that, and a perennial division and conference contender in the challenging Western conference.

Best Hockey Memories

Watching the Flames winning the stanley cup on television in my basement - I remember I was eating and I spilled ketchup on the cushion I was sitting on when Lanny scored.

My Hockey Teams
