Comedy SILVER out of Calgary

Johnny hockey is one of the few hockey players who supports fancy stats

“I don’t know the names or anything, I just know by, like, the CP number so the higher the number is, I get more excited,” Gaudreau said. “I don’t really know like what species is what, but I enjoy it. It’s a fun game and we’ll see how long it lasts.”

SOB continues to hurt the Flames:

It was previously reported that the Shane O'Brien buyout by the Calgary Flames in June 2014 was a compliance buyout and therefore had no cap hit implications (As part of the 2012 CBA, teams were permitted two compliance buyouts which allowed a team to buyout a player with no cap hit penalties).

It has been confirmed to CapFriendly that the buyout was not a compliance buyout, and was instead a standard buyout. The resulting buyout cap hit was therefore as follows:

2014-15: $533,333
2015-16: $733,333

The 2015-16 value plays an important role in why the Calgary Flames have a bonus overage penalty in the 2016-17 season.

Sam Bennett put on 10 lbs of muscle this off-season. Now he's too heavy to do a pull-up.

Might be an announcement as early as today, apparently Russell and the Flames are close on a new deal.

Idle speculation? Chat room fodder? Or you want a real source? I'll work on that.

Just curious. I got very excited for the Leafs facing a defence with Phaneuf and Russell 5 times a year
