dave dickenson has reportedly been signed for 2 years and wants to be here for calgary hosting the grey cup in 2009, which is the first mention in hte media of calgary possibly hosting...which i think could be a reality, the last time calgary hosted was 2000 when bc beat montreal
also i can get the standings down here but if you want to keep posting that on here then that is great and easy. GO FLames, Hitmen, Roughnecks, Stampeders and Team Canada

Jan 31st Hockey and a Stamps Update
First off, Flames just won an exciting game against the Sharks (Sharks are 2nd in the conference) and Flames are 5th in the conference. Owen Nolan had a hat trick in that game and his last goal was this hilite reel goal where he was in the air while he scored.
Selanne signed with the Ducks right after the all star break, he'll be making $600,00 for the remainder of the season. No exciting trades have happened yet just a couple of minor ones.
TSN reported last night that Phaneuf is like 99% signed and hey are just ironing out a few more details. This is great news but that probably means Taguay, Huselius or Langkow might be moved as they can't afford to resign but Huselius and Langkow.
There are a lot of reports saying the Forsberg is looking close to playing for a NHL team, people say it'll be for the Flyers but Calgary comes up in some of the rumors.
Jokinen, Sundin, and Tucker are also mentioned in the rumors of late of joining Calgary but other teams mentioned as well...
Oilers are sucking as always they are currently 13th in the conference and placed Souray on the IR again.
Currently, Alfredsson is leading with points with 68 (Iggy has 64). Ovechkin is leading with goals with 39 (Iggy has 32 - he's been in a goal less draught).
Adam: are you getting the stats and standing there or should I leave that part out? LOL!
Here's some Stamps' news, I don't follow football so I have no idea if any of this is worth while posting!
The Calgary Stampeders have reached an agreement with free agent quarterback Dave Dickenson, according to several media outlets.

calgary hockey update from jan 22
ok so this is a post from australia, being out here, my updates wont be too indepth. but here is an update a friend of mine sent me a week ago.
Tanguay's agent is in town, a lot of speculation as to why of course. Sutter has been spending time in Montreal, perhaps Ryder is coming to Calgary.
Silly rumor tonight, Eklund said he heard a rumor that Phaneuf might be traded to New Jersey and believes Parise might be in the return package.
Cindy Crosby is out with a high ankle sprain and will be out 6-8 weeks.Calgary won tonight at home against Minnesota 2 - 1 to take top spot in the north west.
Ferguson was finally fired in Toronto and the ol' Flame Cliff Fletcher himself is taking over as interim GM.
the flames play tonight now that the allstar break is done
thats all

December 10 sports update
Stamps....well the playoffs were dissapointing, if the stamps had beat saskatchewan, they couldve won the cup. they lost becuase of a brutal first half and a bad penalty at the end of the game. oh well, they didnt deserve to win.
exciting offseason news though is that jon hufnagel is going to be the new head coach next year....my pick is calgary vs hamilton(haha crazy i know) for the 2008 cup...congrats to the riders who deserved to win the cup this year as a team, franchise and for the fans
as for the flames. they had a bad start to the year(along with kipper) but kipper appears to have turned it around with a superb game on sunday vs chicago(which i missed, but heard about). dont give up hope on our flames yet, they can still make the playoffs but need to play at least .600(maybe .700) hockey from here on in.
iginla also keeps on scoring, he is having yet another great year.
the hitmen are also doing great, leading the division
the roughnecks season starts in a few weeks too.
also the world juniors in hockey starts soon as well as the macs midget tournament....all in all, a busy time in sports, with nfl and nba going too

october sports update
Flames
better then usual start to the season for the flames as they are fighting for the division and continue to score like mad(except the last two 4-1 losses).
its early but iginla and langkow are playing great early on. the flames have 15 points after 16 games.
not coming as a suprise is the edmonton oilers who are in last place in the league at this point. columbus, st louis and l.a. are doing suprisingly well in the west along with carolina in the east. there are alot of new teams in the top 8s but the first 20 games doesnt give a good read on how good the team are.
stampeders
Finally the playoffs are here!! the last 3 games have been essentially meaningless but still entertaining at least. the stamps blew it tonight in bc 25-24 but easily couldve won with numerious backup players in. sankey looked great at qb throwing 3 qbs and over 300 yards. some bad calls by the refs and lacklustre coaching/defensive play hurt them.the riders got thier butts kicked today by toronto, who i could see easily winning the east final.
the stamps play the riders at mosaic stadium in regina on sunday the 11th at about 2pm. the winner plays the west champion lions in bc the next sunday. winnipeg at home vs montreal in the east with the winner heading to toronto
playoff prediction: calgary vs toronto in the grey cup
in other calgary sports the hitmen won tonight 4-1 and continue to battle for the lead in the division.
the u of c dinos football team got embarrased by the manitoba bisons in the playoffs 27-5 in winnipeg.
the nll almost cancelled its season but it will go on in january=good news for the roughnecks
busy month in sports as the nfl kicked off and boston beat the cinderalla colorado rockies to win the world series 4-0.
the flames play in colorado tomorrow.

thanksgiving sports update
first off the flames
mcelhinney is hurt, so the flames have called up former junior star Matt Keetley from Quad City. he likely wont get any starting time, but it is definitly deserved with how he played in preseason as well as how he played in quad city.the flames start their tough 3 game road trip on wednesday in detroit.
the stamps
the stamps lost by 12 to saskatchewan yesterday but the defence played better after the firing of denny creehan. akili smith started the first half and couldnt produce ANYTHING in the half. in the second half sankey came in and on the first drive( a touchdown drive) he created more yards of offense then the entire first half for the stamps. they looked better in the second half and took less penalties. they are now 5 points back of sask but still 2 points ahead of edmonton with 4 games left...and the big news.....Henry Burris is likely to start against winnipeg this weekend.
the hitmen are now 9-1 and still #1 in the country

calgary sports update september 30 2007
stamps:
wow, brutal defence tonight. didnt play with any emotion, its no wonder this team is the worst for giving up points...they got out played by bc and had absolutly NO answer to joe smith. as for offence, akili smith got hurt and nealy didnt look bad considering he probably had no reps this week. oh the stamps lost 42-9. they need to do something, last place hamilton played way better in all facets of thier game then the stamps did tonight against bc. they are now 6-6-1 but still one point behind saskatchewan, who they play next week. luckily edmontons qb(maas) is hurt too, so we may sneak into the playoffs. i wouldnt mind if they overhauled the defence and d coach creehan
midseason grey cup pick....sask vs toronto
flames:
well the preaseason is over, finally. the flames finished 1-4-3. should be an interesting season with keenan behind the bench and new players on defence. calgary has the lineup that can win the division, depending on the reaction to keenan. im picking calgary to finish 4th or 5th in the west with colorado winning the division.
stanley cup?calgary over new york. (always pick calgary haha)or san jose vs pittburg
flames start the season vs phili on thursday
hitmen:
the best team in calgary right now. they are off to a 5-0 start and are #1 in CANADA...definitly have a chance to win the memorial cup this year..go hitmen
