The Red Mile
I just woke up from the best sleep in recent memory, I've only been getting a few hours here and there the last week, and today my body decided to cash in what I was owed...10.5 hours! damn I feel good. Next up in my Western Conference rundown:

Calgary Flames
New to Cowtown (and you thought it was Guelph) this season are former Philly sniper Tony Amonte, Detroit grinder Darren McCarty and Islander Roman Hamrlik. They arn’t big deals but they could prove to be valuable pieces on this team. By far the biggest and most important moves that Calgary made was to lock up Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff, easily the most valuable players on this team. If either player had been lost to an opponent it would have signaled the start of a long hard season for the Flames. Most of the players are the same from the playoff run last season, and expectations haven’t been this high for the Flames since Lanny McDonald and his moustache played for the team.
Last Season: 6th in West [94 points] Lost Cup Final
Highest Paid: Jarome Iginla [$7 million]
Players Under Contract: 25

Oh and holy shit, Danny Heatley is an Ottawa Senator, Marian Hossa is a Thrasher...I can't wait to start drafting players!
