Follow me on Twitter @ToddCordell Here are five things to watch when the Calgary Flames take on the Minnesota Wild: 1. Where offense goes to die These two teams met prior to Christmas and it was a low-scoring (3-0), low-event game with very few chances traded. I think we’re heading for mo...

Follow me on Twitter @ToddCordell A few observations from Calgary vs Chicago: 1. Cam Talbot was excellent I was a little surprised the Flames didn’t go back to David Rittich but, with the way Talbot is trending, I guess I shouldn’t have been. He turned out to be a key factor in Calga...

Follow me on Twitter @ToddCordell Here are four things to watch when the Calgary Flames take on the Toronto Maple Leafs: 1. In over their heads Toronto is not a great defensive team at the best of times. That’s fine, though, because they have the gunners to out-score their problems on a...
Follow me on Twitter @ToddCordell A few thoughts on Calgary vs Toronto: 1) I have to begin with David Rittich. He was making his first start since being named an All-Star and he certainly looked out to prove he deserves the honour. It felt like every shot Toronto took was a Grade A opportunity...
