As the rest of New York shakes the ticker tape out of its hair (congrats, Yanks), I bid you hello from Calgary, where the Rangers will be playing on "Hockey Night in Canada” for the fourth time already this season. And while the Rangers made their way over from Edmonton, I got a chance to catch up with an old Blueshirts Blog favorite, ex-Ranger and current Flame Freddy Sjostrom, who’s...

from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun, Tossing the puck towards the faceoff dot like a lion tamer would hurl raw meat, Brent Sutter ordered two of his most ferocious beasts to do battle. With players lined up along the centre ice circle to provide a makeshift cage, Dion Phaneuf and Brian McGrattan were summoned to the middle where they collided with considerable force. With instructions to simply fight...

from Steve MacFarlane of the Calgary Sun, THE GOOD If Kiprusoff isn’t the team’s most valuable player for the opening month, it’s Rene Bourque. Sniping five goals and 15 points over the first dozen games, the Lac La Biche product has easily been the Flames’ most dominant forward so far this season. He’s driving pucks to the net, throwing his weight around, and is a constant...

from Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun, Go ahead, tell Brent Sutter there is discrimination against French Canadian players in the NHL and Hockey Canada’s programs. We dare you. Just be braced for a very terse reply. “There’s no truth to that, whatsoever,” stated Sutter, the Calgary Flames head coach who spent 17 seasons in the NHL and is in his third year as a head coach. “There’s...

from Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun, The Flames are in the early stages of a stretch with five games—all at home—in 20 days. That means a golden chance for new head coach Brent Sutter to work on all the details he’s looking for within the system he’s trying to implement. In fact, it’s like a second training camp, with a twist. “With the schedule so condensed and...

It appears that the Calgary Flames finally have the right coach in Brent Sutter. One has to wonder why it took General Manager Darryl Suter so long to get the right man for the job. Two years ago Darryl brought in Mike Keenan, saving him from Hockey exile, but after yet another first rood playoff [...]

The head, heart and hands are still there, but the legs aren't and that's why the Calgary Flames released Theoren Fleury, according to head coach Brent Sutter.

Theo Fleury's comeback bid is certainly taking flight, no doubt making it hard for the Calgary Flames coaching to staff to deny him one more shot at a spot on an NHL roster. With his reinstatement in place earlier this month , Fleury marked his return to NHL action at the age of 41 and after a six year absence. Since his arrival in the Flames camp, Fleury has provided for more than his share of the...

Last season, the Flames backup goaltender, Curtis McElhinney, saw limited action, and the games he did play in were often blowout losses or the second game of a back-to-back situation.McElhinney's new coach will likely be calling upon him more frequesntly though. Last season as coach of the New Jersey Devils Brent Sutter learned first-hand the need to have multiple 'keepers game-ready, as his1 Vo 1...

from Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette, (Jacques) Lemaire, however, is not likely to find the magic again in New Jersey. The Devils led their division last season before losing in the first round to Carolina, but John Madden and Brian Gionta were lost during the offseason and no replacements of note were added. You don’t make progress by standing still, leaving Lemaire with a high mountain to...
