Calgary Flames Advance To First Round 2020 Playoffs - Who Do You Want To Draw?
After the Calgary Flames successfully defeated the Winnipeg Jets in four games of the Stanley Cup Qualifier of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Note that series was a best of five. I talk about the potential opponents that the Calgary Flames will face in the first round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. I weigh the potential opponents based both on strength and possible story lines that could be made if the Calgary Flames happen to draw for the first round. I ultimately ask who do you want the Calgary Flames play the most? Please note that I've recorded the video as a few series we're still ongoing.

Status With Third Round Draft Pick In Milan Lucic - James Neal Trade
The National Hockey League gave a ruling on what is to happen with the conditional third round draft pick. If you recall that conditional draft pick was involved in the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers Milan Lucic/James Neal trade. The global pandemic with COVID-19 that paused and eventually wiped out the last month and half of the regular season did question what would happen to this draft pick. There was performance numbers attached to it in terms of goals James Neal scored and how many goals Milan Lucic was away. Just don't plan for or anticipate a global pandemic would happen when these trades happen but happy as you see in the video on what side the NHL leaned towards. Also talk about the trade and seeing how it impacted both Alberta NHL teams with James Neal with the Edmonton Oilers and Milan Lucic with the Calgary Flames. It was a strange and unusual trade at the time given the rivalry the teams have but it was mostly a salary cap move and could say a hockey trade as well. https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-decision-on-lucicneal-trade-condition/c-317758784 (Originally accessed Saturday, August 1st, 2020) Please like and subscribe if you enjoy my content to follow along with this Calgary sports fans journey.

My Calgary Hitmen In Four - No Games 65-68 Edition (S02E13)
Not really a game recap episode that I had in mind. However I still felt an episode was warranted to at least conclude the 2019-20 WHL Regular Season for the Calgary Hitmen four games early. See the link why the WHL has decided to conclude the season when they did. It's unknown if or when the WHL Playoffs will start and with the eventual Memorial Cup Champion crowned in Kelowna, British Columbia at this point. With the WHL Standings and remaining games left for the Calgary Hitmen. It wasn't going to change things too much or if any team outside looking in would of had a shot of making the playoffs. Still with the fate of the 2019-20 WHL Regular Season now known it was at least a nice way to put a bow on the season and also like last season. I've posted all the player stats for everyone that played at least a game for the Calgary Hitmen which this past season was their 25th Anniversary Season. It's too bad with recent events that it ended the way it did but hopefully there's going to be playoffs at some point. Regular Season Games Still Remaining Before Conclusion: Game 65: Saturday, March 14th - Calgary Hitmen @ Red Deer Rebels Westerner Park Centrium 7pm Game 66: Sunday, March 15th - Red Deer Rebels @ Calgary Hitmen Scotiabank Saddledome 2pm Game 67: Friday, March 20th - Calgary Hitmen @ Swift Current Broncos Innovation Credit Union i-plex 7pm Game 68: Sunday, March 22nd - Swift Current Broncos @ Calgary Hitmen Scotiabank Saddledome 2pm https://hitmenhockey.com/article/western-hockey-league-announces-conclusion-of-regular-season (Originally accessed Friday, March 20th, 2020) Calgary Hitmen finish the season with a 34-24-4-1 record for 75 points. Puts them 4th in the Central Division, 1st in Eastern Conference Wild Card and 11th overall in the Western Hockey League (WHL). They would draw the Prince Albert Raiders in the first round of the 2020 WHL Playoffs under current format as the lower seed. May be a little bit of an easier opponent but more travel required. I would assuming possibly employing a 2-3-2 format. Prince Albert would host games 1 and 2. Calgary to host games 3, 4 and 5 with Prince Alberta hosting games 6 and 7.

My Calgary Hitmen In Four - Games 61-64 (S02E12)
The Calgary Hitmen at this stage are playing out the string after clinching a playoff spot in the last episode. This episode is the first of two four game recaps to close out the 2019-20 WHL Regular Season to make the math work. The Calgary Hitmen might of faced their future first round opponent in the Prince Albert Raiders in this episode. After playing through these four games and how the standings break down. It becomes more clear in both where the Calgary Hitmen will likely finish and who they may play against in the WHL Playoffs. Regular Season: Game 61: Tuesday, March 3rd - Calgary Hitmen 3 @ Prince Albert Raiders 8 Game 62: Wednesday, March 4th - Calgary Hitmen 4 @ Saskatoon Blades 3 Game 63: Friday, March 6th - Calgary Hitmen 1 @ Medicine Hat Tigers 6 Game 64: Saturday, March 7th - Spokane Chiefs 6 @ Calgary Hitmen 3 After recapping the previous four games in this episode. I take a look ahead to the final four games that remain in the regular season schedule before the WHL Playoffs as the Calgary Hitmen have clinched a playoff spot. Also take a look at the WHL Standings to see potential first round match-ups in the WHL and it looks more clear who the Calgary Hitmen may play in the first round later in the month. Update: All major league sports are suspended with the ongoing outbreak in the world. Unknown when of if the current WHL season will be concluded. Looking Ahead & Games That We're On The Schedule Before Play Was Suspended: Game 65: Saturday, March 14th - Calgary Hitmen @ Red Deer Rebels Westerner Park Centrium 7pm Game 66: Sunday, March 15th - Red Deer Rebels @ Calgary Hitmen Scotiabank Saddledome 2pm Game 67: Friday, March 20th - Calgary Hitmen @ Swift Current Broncos Innovation Credit Union i-plex 7pm Game 68: Sunday, March 22nd - Swift Current Broncos @ Calgary Hitmen Scotiabank Saddledome 2pm Intro: Legend application found on iOS and Google Play.

My Calgary Hitmen In Six - Games 55-60 (S02E11)
The latest episode of My Calgary Hitmen In Six had the team continuing on their road trip through the BC Division on the cusp of clinching a playoff spot and boarding the Calgary Hitmen Playoff Train. After taking four out of five games on the BC road trip. The Calgary Hitmen played the last games in this episode at home including honouring Kelly Kisio as a builder in the "Forever A Hitmen" program. Kelly Kisio was a big part in building the team and leading them to their WHL Championships in 1999 and 2010 so his banner is raised to the rafters. Regular Season: Game 55: Wednesday, February 19th - Calgary Hitmen 3 @ Victoria Royals 2 (SO) Game 56: Friday, February 21st - Calgary Hitmen 5 @ Vancouver Giants 6 Game 57: Saturday, February 22nd - Calgary Hitmen 6 @ Kamloops Blazers 4 Game 58: Thursday, February 27th - Winnipeg Ice 1 @ Calgary Hitmen 4 Game 59: Friday, February 28th - Brandon Wheat Kings 3 @ Calgary Hitmen 2 Game 60: Sunday, March 1st - Lethbridge Hurricanes 3 @ Calgary Hitmen 2 After recapping past six games and going over the WHL Standings to see some playoff match-ups as well who's clinched. I take a look ahead to the next four games as there's now only 8 games left in the WHL Regular Season before the playoffs. The next two episodes will be four game recaps to close out the regular season and since the Calgary Hitmen have clinched a playoff spot. There's going to be a series preview for the first round when the opponent is known and series recap. Intro: Legend application found on iOS and Google Play.

My Calgary Hitmen In Six - Games 49-54 (S02E10)
For the latest episode of My Calgary Hitmen In Six. I feel that the Calgary Hitmen have a little more to play for going down the stretch as they're now in striking distance of the Medicine Hat Tigers to get into the top three of the Central Division. While the first weekend set the Calgary Hitmen had a couple of rough games. They sure made up for it with one game the Calgary Hitmen had an offensive breakout including captain Mark Kastelic scoring four goals in a game against the Regina Pats. Calgary Hitmen also closed out this game recap with a come from behind victory against the Kelowna Rockets. This team did show some heart in this segment. Note here that both Mark Kastelic and Carson Focht each reached the 30 goal plateau for the 2019-20 WHL Regular Season. Almost time to make plans and board the Calgary Hitmen Playoff Train. Regular Season: Game 49: Friday, February 7th - Prince Albert Raiders 1 @ Calgary Hitmen 2 Game 50: Saturday, February 8th - Calgary Hitmen 0 @ Red Deer Rebels 3 Game 51: Sunday, February 9th - Lethbridge Hurricanes 6 @ Calgary Hitmen 4 Game 52: Wednesday, February 12th - Regina Pats 1 @ Calgary Hitmen 8 Game 53: Saturday, February 15th - Calgary Hitmen 4 @ Prince George Cougars 2 Game 54: Monday, February 17th - Calgary Hitmen 6 @ Kelowna Rockets 5 (OT) As usual after recapping the previous six games. I take a look ahead to the next six games on the schedule as now there's only fourteen more games to go before the 2020 WHL Playoffs. Before I take a look ahead. Quickly went over player stats and looked at standings to lament on potential first round playoff match-ups and see if there's any races worth following. I've closed out this video giving my congratulations to Kelly Kisio who'll get honoured as "Forever A Hitmen" on Sunday, March 1st, 2020. Kelly Kisio was a big part of the Calgary Hitmen success as a coach and general manager being part of the 1999 and 2010 WHL Championships. He'll be forever up in the rafters with Brad Moran who has his #20 retired. Ryan Getzlaf and Andrew Ladd are players that are already have their names up in the rafters as "Forever A Hitmen."

Calgary Flames Worst Trade: Doug Gilmour Traded To Toronto Maple Leafs
Decided it was time to do another trade retrospect video where at or on the date. I talk about a significant trade in Calgary Flames history. With January 2nd upon us. I felt it was time to talk about what I think was the worst trade that the Calgary Flames made to date. On January 2nd, 1992 which was the time when Doug Gilmour was traded from the Calgary Flames to the Toronto Maple Leafs. I give a back story of Doug Gilmour when he started his NHL career and what he meant to the Calgary Flames including being a big part of the 1989 Stanley Cup team before why this trade happened. This trade did happen at the time when player salaries we're starting to rise and smaller market teams like the Calgary Flames couldn't afford to keep their best players like Doug Gilmour. Doug Gilmour was one of the undisputed leaders from the 1989 Stanley Cup team and did score the cup winning goal in Game 6 against the Montreal Canadiens. Fast forward to two and a half years later where Doug Gilmour was in a contract dispute with the Calgary Flames actually left the team after the New Years Eve game on January 1st, 1992. Fittingly Doug Gimour scored another big goal against the Montreal Canadiens which was the overtime winner before he left the Calgary Flames as he knew he could get more money elsewhere. The whole trade is listed below which at the time was one of the biggest ever in NHL history with 10 players involved and now looking about one of the most lopsided trades as well. Worst Calgary Flames Trade - Doug Gilmour To Toronto Maple Leafs To Toronto Maple Leafs: F Doug Gilmour F Kent Mandeville D Jamie Mackin D Ric Nattress G Rick Walmsley To Calgary Flames: F Gary Leeman F Craig Berube D Alexander Godynyuk D Michel Petit G Jeff Reese The Toronto Maple Leafs instantly got a new hero in Doug Gilmour where he elevated his game as one of the best two way centres of all time. What he showed in St. Louis and Calgary and eventually Toronto made Doug Gilmour a hall of famer and got inducted in 2011. Plus his number 93 got retired with the Toronto Maple Leafs. In his first full season with the Toronto Maple Leafs he led the team in scoring including setting franchise records in assists and points in a season that led him to winning the Selke Trophy as best defensive forward and runner up to the Hart Trophy as the leagues most valuable player. Doug Gilmour was also instrumental in leading the Toronto Maple Leafs to back-to-back conference finals in 1993 and 1994 at his peak with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Defenseman Jamie Macoun was also a great player of the defense for the Toronto Maple Leafs that made this trade even more a win for Toronto. The other pieces played a much smaller role but Doug Gilmour being the best player in the trade made it a steal. Calgary Flames really got shafted in this deal when it's all said and done. Gary Leeman who was suppose to be the key piece coming to the Calgary Flames didn't find his scoring ability as the season before he scored over 50 goals. Also had back-to-back 30+ goal seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Gary Leeman and all the other pieces in the trade didn't last more than 2 or 3 seasons with the Calgary Flames for various reasons as mentioned in the video. While this trade reduced the salaries spent for the Calgary Flames. They didn't get full value in return for what Doug Gilmour provided to the Calgary Flames and what he provided in his NHL career. Toronto Maple Leafs we're familiar with all the assets as Cliff Fletcher who was the general manager worked for the Calgary Flames including building the 1989 Stanley Cup team. Tom Watt the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs before Pat Burns worked with Doug Risebrough and Terry Crisp on the coaching staff during the 1989 Stanley Cup team. Doug Risebrough took over as Calgary Flames general manager and head coach after Cliff Fletcher left for Toronto and Terry Crisp was fired made this trade which I say was the worst trade the Calgary Flames ever made. This started the dismantling from the 1989 Stanley Cup team and the franchise was set back for many years until 2003-04. There was lots to say about this trade but it was big for both teams that needed a shake up and 10 players we're involved in the transaction. What are your thoughts on this trade over 28 years later of this video? Was there a worse trade the Calgary Flames made? You're very welcome Toronto Maple Leafs and Don Cherry had Doug Gilmour as his man crush during that era.

Calgary Flames Almost Traded For Taylor Hall? Free Agent Frenzy 2020 Target?
With the New Jersey Devils underachieving in the 2019-20 NHL Regular Season and Taylor Hall becoming a pending unrestricted free agent. Also there's rumours and reports that Taylor Hall wasn't willing to sign a longer term deal or even stay with the New Jersey Devils. The team was looking for a trade partner to get some assets for the scoring forward. While there was many teams interested in acquiring Taylor Hall. Some teams we're offering a futures trade and hockey trade. Futures trade for picks and prospects while a hockey trade is players who can help a team now. Ultimately the New Jersey Devils traded Taylor Hall to the Arizona Coyotes which clearly on the return is a futures trade looks to be a rental as there's no clear word that Taylor Hall wants to stay with the Arizona Coyotes after this season and become a free agent. There was reports and rumours from several sources that the Calgary Flames we're interested and in on a possible Taylor Hall trade which could of had a better return in a hockey type of trade for the New Jersey Devils. While ultimately I'm happy the trade didn't happen for the Calgary Flames. I'm still excited for the possibility that Taylor Hall can be a free agent in July 2020 and feel the Calgary Flames may have the inside chance of signing him. One factor is the need for another scoring forward and the fact he's from Calgary and may want to play for his hometown team. Also would spice up the Battle of Alberta even more as he's a former first overall pick of the Edmonton Oilers back in 2010. I ask do you think the Calgary Flames should look at Taylor Hall in free agency given reports of a trade that almost happened? What is the price before you can say it's too rich? How will the Calgary Flames fit him in the cap next season with players already committed and looking ahead? Many questions and possibilities to ponder if Taylor Hall becomes a free agent and would want him to be a Calgary Flame is the price is right and makes sense without sacrificing the existing core. Calgary Flames seemed to be close on a few trades that almost happened. Almost getting Jason Zucker from the Minnesota Wild or Nazem Kadri from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now add Taylor Hall from the New Jersey Devils for the what if's given reports. Trade that actually happened: To Arizona Coyotes - LW/C Taylor Hall and C Blake Speers To New Jersey Devils - C Nick Merkely, C Nathan Schnarr, D Kevin Bahl, 2020 Conditional 1st Round Pick and 2021 Conditional 3rd Round Pick Conditions: New Jersey Devils retains 50% salary for Taylor Hall. Arizona's 2020 Conditional 1st Round Pick would go to 2021 if it's a top three selection (lottery protected). Arizona's 2021 Conditional 3rd Round Pick could be a 2nd if Arizona wins a playoff round or if Taylor Hall re-signs with Arizona. Arizona's 2021 Conditional 3rd Round Pick could be a 1st if Arizona wins a playoff round and Taylor Hall re-signs. Trade that almost happened: To Calgary Flames - LW/C Taylor Hall To New Jersey Devils - RW Sam Bennett, D Travis Harmonic and 2020 Conditional 1st Round Pick. Conditions: New Jersey Devils retains 50% salary for Taylor Hall. Calgary's 2020 Conditional Pick to depend on Taylor Hall re-signs with Calgary. All speculative based on reports. http://www.capfriendly.com You can also follow me on these social platforms at: Twitter: https://twitter.com/BDHornby/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brett_hornby/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BDHornbyYouTube/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/BrettHornby?sub_confirmation=1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/BrettHornby
