Weegar was an out of shape kid with the dream of winning a Stanley Cup. Nothing was going to get in his way. Today...

A quiet Calgary Flames offseason is not a bad thing. Craig Conroy has had his work cut out for him since day one, and he is working through the mess.

Zayne Parekh has done all he can to prove why he should make the Calgary Flames NHL roster out of camp this season.

What are the benefits to playing in NHL rather than spending another season in the OHL. The 19 year old is inelligible...

General Manager Craig Conroy said the plan is to make the playoffs while rebuilding. That feels like a very big oxymoron but we've been told to trust the vision. The Calgary Flames have far too many forwards for a young player to come in and take a job. The only way that happens is if veterans like Blake Coleman and Nazem Kadri are traded.

Does this mirror the Chris Tanev...
