Even a first-round playoff loss would look good now
This is uncharted territory for the Calgary Flames, a team that only missed the playoffs once in more than 20 years and won regular-season division titles in five of the past eight. The Flames were on pace to win fewer than 20 games this season, which would be an all-time low for the franchise. Slowly, the realization is setting in-the bottom fell out on the franchise in the summer of 1995 and now the Flames must embark on a serious rebuilding phase. Strength Theoren Fleury is consistently above a point a game when he’s healthy. Fleury got off to a slow start in terms of goals with just four in 18 games, but rebounded with nine in his next 18. What they need At least two front-line scorers. Left winger Gary Roberts, if he…
Bears confident they’ll replace Flyers
The ‘Parents Wanted’ sign has gone up at Hersheypark Arena. With the Philadelphia Flyers making official their plans to purchase an American League expansion franchise to play in the CoreStates Spectrum next season, the Bears are searching for a new parent team. Establishing a new affiliation won’t be a problem, said Bears’ GM Jay Feaster. “There is nothing to suggest we won’t be all right,” Feaster said. “Having been around for 58 years and having a pretty decent reputation, we believe we will have options to choose from.” The Bears will focus their search on NHL teams with International League farms: the Pittsburgh Penguins, Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, Tampa Bay Lightning, San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings and New York Islanders. The Penguins, whose farm team is the Cleve land Lumberjacks, would be an ideal…
Home blahs hurt cause
There haven’t been too many good things happening to the Chicago Blackhawks this season. They played .500 hockey at the United Center, losing to teams such as the Ottawa Senators and San Jose Sharks. The commitment to team defense wasn’t there and goalie Ed Belfour had a spotty start while trying to cover up for the breakdowns in front of him. Strength Veteran defenseman Chris Chelios is consistently great, showing no signs of slowing down as he approaches age 34. He’s still playing more than 30 minutes a game. What they need The Hawks need to recover the lost emotion that always made them one of the grittiest teams in the NHL. It’s hard to imagine a Hawks team-especially one with Bob Probert-that isn’t physical like this one. Next three recalls 1. Ethan Moreau,…
