More photos » by Gene J. Puskar - AP Browse more photos » Rather than take a look at the usual suspects for Team Canada at the Olympics, I figured it might be worthwhile to simply look at which Canadian players are impressing in the early going this season. I'll try and get a similar look at some of the other teams up here in the next week or so. Goal Player Team GP GS W L OT GAA Sv% 1...

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail, On the morning of tonight’s pivotal date with the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, Calgary Flames centre Dustin Boyd was nowhere to be found, the latest NHL player to come down with the flu – and forced into isolation from his teammates. This, of course, goes against the normal NHL ethic – that a player, injured or felled by an illness,...

from Michael-Louis Ingram and Gary Norris Gray of Black Athlete, The Ottawa Senators traded Dany Heatley to the San Jose Sharks for Jonathan Cheechoo and Milan Michael. This greatly improves San Jose’s scoring power. The Sharks will miss their young feisty pacesetter Cheechoo’s heart, which cannot be taught....

“As for where it goes, I have no idea, but I really like the way that some players are starting to speak up, a guy like Sidney.”-- NHLPA and Calgary Flame player representative Robyn Regehr , expressing his reaction to some comments from Sidney Crosby over recent NHLPA events. As one of the more high profile players of the game today, Sidney Crosby is starting to find his way as one of...

from Darren Dreger of TSN, Reaction to Paul Kelly’s firing as executive director of the NHLPA continues, more than two weeks after his early morning dismissal in a Chicago boardroom. NHL player agents, J.P. Barry and Pat Brisson of CAA Hockey have tried to make sense of Kelly’s fall, specifically the process in which it unfolded, to help the players they represent understand the sudden...

There are going to be many months ahead for more thorough analysis of what Team Canada's Olympic entry should look like, but here's a little cheat sheet with which to watch this week's goings on at the orientation camp. Keep in mind that these categories don't reflect my choices for the team — they merely indicate where I think players slot in in the minds of the selection committee: Locks to...

from Sam McCaig of The Hockey News, Two months into the off-season and there’s still almost two months to go before the NHL regular season begins. Here are team-by-team storylines to keep in mind as you sun it up by the sea. Or wherever you may be. CALGARY Dion Phaneuf, Jay Bouwmeester and Robyn Regehr. On the same team’s blueline. The Flames might not even need a goalie back there. MONTREAL...

from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun, Darryl Sutter believes Theo Fleury will get a tryout if cleared by the NHL. “You and I could get a tryout—as long as we pay for our hotel room,” deadpanned the Flames GM yesterday, suggesting a no-strings attached camp invite means little. That said, while trying his best to remain non-judgmental, Sutter isn’t optimistic the ex-Flames star...

There is irony, on a base level. Jason Spezza 's apologists will often suggest there's a chance he can do the Steve Yzerman metamorphosis from all-out offence to two-way centre when he gets older. Well, they both wear No. 19 and they're both right-handed shots. Now the Ottawa Senators centre has been left off the Canadian Olympic hockey team's summer camp roster chosen by none other than Steve Yzerman....

from George Johnson of the Calgary Herald, Astonishing at it might seem, Sutter probably even underpaid. In the hockey market, understand, Jay Bouwmeester’s a Picasso or a Rodin. These types of players don’t simply drop out of the sky and into your lap: A 25-year-old stud defenceman stuck in the bright and balmy, but still deadened hockey market of south Florida, who, you get the feeling,...

by Adam Gretz Filed under: Flames After acquiring his negotiating rights from the Florida Panthers during this past weekend's NHL Entry Draft, TSN is reporting on Tuesday night that the Calgary Flames have signed defenseman Jay Bouwmeester to a five-year contract with a $6.6 million salary cap hit. With Bouwmeester now locked in for the long haul, the Flames, on paper, have a rather scary looking defense...
