THE COUNTDOWN
WHEN GROUND WAS broken in late July on the future site of Calgary’s Scotia Place, it marked the slow march toward the Flames’ exit from the Saddledome, the franchise’s home for more than four decades. Over time, the rink has become synonymous with the Flames. The Saddledome has seen three Stanley Cup finals, one Stanley Cup victory and housed Hall of Famers such as Jarome Iginla, Lanny McDonald and Al MacInnis, along with countless club and cult heroes. As much as the Flames’ greats and the team’s success aided in the lionization of the Saddledome, however, it was the building’s uniqueness that contributed most to its legend. In an era of glass-and-steel monoliths and cookie-cutter construction, the Flames’ home cut one of the most iconic silhouettes among NHL arenas past or present.…

THE LONG WAY TO LONG ISLAND
WHEN ANTHONY DUCLAIR hits the ice with the New York Islanders in October, he’ll be playing for his ninth NHL team in 11 seasons. That doesn’t make him a unicorn, but it would definitely put him in Conde Nast’s bathing suit issue. In fact, since 2014-15, when he made his NHL debut with the New York Rangers, Duclair has worn eight different NHL uniforms, with a side order of QMJHL Quebec Remparts, AHL Tucson Roadrunners and Team Canada WJC. That’s a lot, even by hockey’s nomadic standards. Only Dominic Moore, who could’ve couch-surfed with friends through much of his career, and Lee Stempniak played for as many teams as Duclair will have through the first 11 seasons of their NHL tenures. But more than a decade into his career, Duclair looks…
RESTED AND REVITALIZED
FOR PATRIK LAINE, THE Finnish goal-scorer and No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NHL draft, the old adage applies: a change is as good as a rest. At 26, the Tampere native is set to join his third NHL team following a late-summer swap between Columbus and Montreal. Laine’s time with the Blue Jackets was plagued by injury and off-ice challenges – he suited up for just 174 games across four seasons – with the former 40-goal scorer entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program in late January. Now renewed in mind, body and spirit, Laine looked the part of a new man during his introduction to the Canadiens’ media. “It’s not a secret that it’s been a little tough on and off the ice lately, but I think I’ve learned, how…
