Cover It With Gas And Set It On Fire: Flames Nation
With no time to linger on last night’s see-saw affair with the defending champion and still-terrifying L.A. Kings, the Hawks welcome the dysfunctional Calgary Flames to the West Side for the first time this season. And by all accounts, they’re hoping one of them enjoys the view enough to stay.

Burn Motherfucker Burn: Flames Nation
The past few years haven’t been kind to the Flames. For a time, it seemed the Flames were only just finding a center for Iginla away from getting to the promised land. Then calls to start tearing the team apart (and usually rebuild around Iggy.. sometimes trade him) became more frequent. Sadly, the Flames are never quite bad enough to really justify a total re-build but certainly never good enough to actually have anyone take them seriously.
This year, things may finally be different though – They’ve got just a single win in 5 games and were most recently seen getting kicked in the dick in only 3 minutes by an Avalanche team that isn’t really scaring anyone. Could this year finally be the one where the Flames pull the plug and trade their captain? Does anyone still want him? Does everyone realize Iggy’s full name is Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla?
Oh wait, of course it isn’t because their GM, Jay Feaster, puts detergent in his oatmeal everyday.

Yesterday we went through what the division had been up to before hibernation. Today, let’s swing around the rest of the conference. And we can pretend the Eastern Conference doesn’t exist, because for this season it really won’t. At least not until late June. And if the Quenneville-Kompon-Kitchen axis of dumbassery (QuenneKompchen?) shows all of its strength, that won’t be our problem anyway.
Are you ready? Let’s roll.
