Wilkes Weekly: Tomasino latest in long line of admirable attitudes from veterans

Marchand made it very clear, he still feels they are, and everyone shouldn't be writing them off in December. "What are we, 25 games in?

Panthers and Flames Linked to Blockbuster Trade

The Calgary Flames continue to be a team to watch on the NHL's sellers market, even though ownership continues to push GM Craig Conroy to either get the best deal, or keep some of his core in Calgary. It's a fragile situation in Calgary, as the organization doesn't want to be a bottom-feeder team when they open a new rink in a couple of years. Regardless, trade talks are heating up around the Flames, as Nazem Kadri continues to be target #1, with several contending teams looking to add the vet...

Panthers feeling black after Friday 5-3 loss to Flames

The Florida Panthers blew a two-goal lead for the second straight game and went on to suffer a disturbing 5-3 loss to the Calgary Flames at Amerant Bank Arena.

Jesper Boqvist got a piece of Huberdeau’s risky outlet pass and Sam Reinhart backhanded down low to Evan Rodrigues, who finished five-hole on Devon Cooley.

I promise I’m not even going to do the “Thanks for reminding us it could always be worse” backhanded compliment thing to anyone.
