from Steve MacFarlane of the Calgary Sun, Craig Conroy twice experienced the wrath of Patrick Roy. On his first day on the ice as a rookie with the Montreal Canadiens, a high shot in warmup brought about a confrontation with the Hall-of-Fame goaltender… “It was actually my very first day on the ice. Patrick was on my team for the scrimmage,” said Conroy, who was a little excited in warmup and watched...

from Scott Cruickshank of the Calgary Herald, So, as one of the poster boys for media relations, what, pray tell, is his philosophy? “You guys are doing a job,” says the 37-year-old. “Sometimes you write bad things about me, sometimes good things, but that’s what it is. It’s your job. And I know when I play bad. I’ve never had a problem with the media. I don’t take anything personally. I don’t feel...

I was going to prepare a tribute on this day in remembrance of the 9/11 tragedy, but IwoCPO could not have said it any better. This from Craig Conroy at the Calgary Herald, “I was actually sitting in my basement watching the whole thing unfold,” he recalled. “I remember thinking how is there a fire in the World Trade Center? It doesn’t make any sense. Then the second plane hit. Then you realize it’s...

I'm sure many have you have seen the Sun Media piece on Tanguay that ran earlier this week. Not sure how much more I can say than How Frustrating : Coach Mike Keenan used him on a defensive line with Craig Conroy and Owen Nolan which did not please him at all.

In fact, he said, it's the best he's felt since suffering the serious groin muscle injury that forced him to miss almost all of last season. "The last...

from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun, Craig Conroy has a theory, and it’s likely to make Flames fans giddy with anticipation. “We’re not in the offensive mode like we were with Juice (Kristian Huselius) and Tangs (Alex Tanguay), but we’re kind of like getting back to the team of ‘04 with grit,” said the veteran Flames centre. “We’ll make it really uncomfortable to play against. Do you really want those...

from Scott Cruickshank of the Calgary Herald, By plumping his roster with internal commodities—signings of centres Daymond Langkow and Craig Conroy, left-winger Eric Nystrom and netminder Curtis McElhinney were announced Friday—the Flames general manager is suddenly close to a finished product. All of which adds up to . . . a quiet month? Apparently. “I wouldn’t expect anything big from our team in...

Sportsnet is reporting the re-signings of Craig Conroy, Eric Nystrom, Curtis MceLhinney and Daymon Lankgow. Conspicuously absent: Owen Nolan and Eric Godard (although there's lots of time left). Nothing surprising here. More analysis when the dollars and terms are released.
