That could be a tough one (some might say un-Berra-able to watch)

Hartley says he wants to see more offense from Backlund and then gives him Jackman and McGratton as wingers.

Berra made some really good saves, he looked comfortable in goal. Good win for the Flames tonight!

Good thing the NHLPA is looking out for the safety and continued health of its members

I like Tanev, but I think I'd like to hang onto Squidy until closer to the trade deadline and then see what kind of offers are on the table. He definitely would help the goal scoring woes of the Canucks.

Speaking of paisanos:

TSNJFranklin: This is Giordano's first time on the ice. He will go for tests following the skate and he will know more about his status then. #flames

TSNJFranklin: Giordano going for an afternoon skate. He's been out with a broken ankle. #Flames http://t.co/TKL4gqeKSb

Monahan was hurt on November 21 when he blocked a shot at practice. #Flames

Who blocks shots in practice? Rookies, that's who. Damn, this blows.

Scott Parker says Bob Hartley bullied him into fighting when Hartley coaches the Avs...

"He was a junior B goalie trying to tell me how to fight. He was always just degrading me. Not to be a (wimp), but he was a bully," Parker said. "And he could be because he was in a position of authority. What was I supposed to do as a rookie? Go tell him '(expletive) you'? I did that stuff at the end of my career, but at the beginning of my career I was just a chess piece to him."

Many argue that fighting is a necessary part of professional hockey - The Denver Post

That's good news, now if they can get Johnny Hockey and Emile Poirier signed, then that would be fantastic.

Emile Poirier hat trick (PPG, SHG, even strength goal) plus a scrap = first star.

Poirier's stat line thus far this year:

GP G A PTS PIM +/-
