How A Hockey Fight Goes From Routine To Scary In One Punch

Kevin Westgarth and Luke Gazdic fought last night during the Flames-Oilers game, and it was a rather even match.

The Flames Vow The Flooded Saddledome Will Be Ready For Hockey

The most destructive floods in Alberta's history—100,000 evacuated, likely hundreds of millions in damage—did not spare the home of the Calgary Flames, on the bank of the Elbow River. The photos are incredible, and the reports of damages are severe. But the Saddledome cleanup has begun....

The sun rises to find Iginla in black and gold, but without the Bruins' spok...

The Flames Just Made The Most Inexplicable Trade Of The Year

Brian McGrattan is no catch: the journeyman brawler has bounced around from team to team, and up and down from the AHL, since the lockout. So when the Predators waived him, he cleared easily. He was assigned to their AHL affiliate yesterday. This morning, Calgary traded for him....
