It's official Phaneuf is signed for 6 years.
He will make 7.5 year 1, 6.5 year 2, 7.0 year 3, 6.5 year 4 and 5 and then 5.5 for year 6.
It will hit the cap hard for next year but I like the signing. Hopefully he remains healthy throughout that long contract.
Last night the Leafs were shutout by Florida 8-0! The Maple Leafs organization are in a dark place right now. Maurice commented on their pond hockey style of playing, LOL!
Forsberg has announced he has no interest in the following teams Detroit, Calgary and Dallas. He also said he has interest only playing for top contender teams. Apparently he still has some bad blood with detroit in the past playoff battles when he was with Colorado.
Supposedly the Phaneuf signing has allowed Calgary to pursue trades full tilt. Eklund said they are in talks with Tampa. I think they'll trade Lecavalier, Prospal and Boyle for Sarich, Erikkson, and Tanguay (that's fair right, LOL!)

February 5th Update
Last night (or was it another night??) Calgary got smoked by Edmonton 5-0. That was an embarassing loss. With the Oilers being Horcoffless and CuJo having his first start and giving out juicy rebounds Oilers were relentless in shaming the Flames. Godard went out and wanted to start something so he went after Garon and Garon didn't exactly back down. There was a lot of fighting as well.
Tonight, Calgary was 0-3 against Phoenix until Phaneuf managed 2 goals in the third and iggy breaking his goal slump to tie the game. The game went into a shoot out where iggy scored the lone goal. The Flames really, really needed to pick up those 2 points as everyone else were winning games.
Hockey news:
The EIG (Oilers group) have officially accepted Katz's last bid, so unofficially he's the new owner.
Ovechkin is blowing the competition away with goals, he had 2 more tonight making it his 45th (Kovalchuk is next with 38).
Thta's really it for hockey news and rumors at this point things still quite quiet.
Here's something funny: My favorite "Nice try no-goal-ov", LOL!

Febuary 4th Update
Went to the Dallas Stars game on Saturday, it was not pretty. Turco was flashing his pads and do some serious acrobatics saving the puck. Calgary out shot Dallas but Calgary seemed lack luster (sp??) the reffing was pretty bad and Dallas got a way with some crazy stuff but Calgary's performance was still sub-par.
Horcoff is out for the rest of the season. Oilers top point producer is out as he has to have surgery on his shoulder. This is just good news and should make the win next Saturday against them that much easier.
I watched the super bowl, that was perhaps the best story line Superbowl i've seen so far. Personally, I was cheering on the Cowboys so I didn't care who won the Superbowl.
I am going to Cuba in 2 weeks but I will be back the day before NHL trade deadline so my posts may be a little long trying to catch up at that point.
No huge trades yet. Edmonton traded Dick Tarnstrom to Columbus for Curtis Glencross. Yeah, that'll definitely help them out. Insert rolling eyes.
San Jose traded a pick to Columbus for Jody Shelly, I guess San Jose decided they needed a slow moving goon.
Yzerman was named GM for Team Canada (IIHF).
Phaneuf's contract is still not finalized and a post said talks resume today.
Still a lot of talk of Forsberg returning, Sundin and the impact of playoff rental players. As you can tell things are silent at the moment in the hockey world.
Hope your having fun Adam!

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
