Mike Smith (Matthew Cerasoli, Wikimedia Commons)
The Calgary Flames played like a team who were playing their second game of a back-to-back Monday night in Phoenix.
Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith made 30 saves and Raffi Torres and Antoine Vermette had a goal and an assist each as Phoenix defeated Calgary 4-0.
David Moss and Oliver Ekman-Larsson also had a multi-point game as they each had two assists. The Coyotes’ defencemen of Ekman-Larsson and Zbynek Michalek were each a +3 for the Coyotes according to www.tsn.ca.
Defenceman Keith Yandle scored the game winning goal for the Coyotes only 41 seconds into the hockey game.
Coyotes captain Shane Doan is still playing strong. At 36 years of age he caused havoc throughout the night and was making Flames’ goaltender Danny Taylor’s night uncomfortable. Taylor was making his first start in his NHL career.

Ryan Smyth (Wikimedia Commons)
The Edmonton Oilers have decided to take a chance on Ryan Smyth for two more seasons.
On Sunday, the opening day of NHL free agency, the Oilers re-signed Smyth to a two year deal worth $4.5 million. Smyth had 19 goals and 27 assists in 82 games this season.
Expect to see Smyth play more of a checking and leadership role for the Oilers, now that they have a ton of scoring up front. However I would still like to see him have significant minutes on the powerplay as he continues to be an intimidating presence in front of the net.
The Oilers also re-signed enforcer Darcy Hordichuk to a one year deal worth $850,000.
There were a few significant signings on Sunday as well. Ray Whitney signed a 2 year deal worth $9 million with Dallas from Phoenix. Whitney, a native of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, recorded 77 points last season despite being 40 years of age.

Curtis Glencross (Wikimedia Commons)
The Calgary Flames moved back into eighth spot in the Western Conference Sunday with a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
Curtis Glencross and Jarome Iginla each scored a goal and an assist for the Flames. Glencross has now scored in seven straight contests. Kent Nilsson and Gary Roberts have the Flames’ record with a goal in eight straight games.
It is just not that Glencross has scored in seven straight games that is interesting. The former Oiler is scoring big goals. On Sunday, Glencross broke a 2-2 tie, just moments after Minnesota’s Erik Christensen scored two goals in a 2:20 time period to tie the game.
It was also a memorable day for Flames rookie Sven Baertschi as he scored his first NHL goal 1:43 into the third period from Tom Kostopoulos and Derek Smith. It will be interesting to see how much time Baertschi will get as the Flames try to make the playoffs for the first time since 2009. Olli Jokinen also scored for Calgary, while Erik Christensen scored for Minnesota.
David Moss, playing in his sixth game since missing 47 games with ankle surgery, might have had the best game he has had this season, leading the team with seven shots on net. Olli Jokinen was also dominant on the faceoff circle, winning 13 of 19 draws.
Flames rookie Guillaume Desbiens also got on the game sheet by having a fight with Wild rookie Matt Kassian.
Calgary next plays San Jose on Tuesday night. They currently are tied with the Los Angeles Kings for eighth place in the West with identical 32-25-12 records, but the Flames have two more regulation wins.

Miikka Kiprusoff (James Teterenko, Wikimedia Commons)
The Calgary Flames (1-2) won their first game of the season Thursday night in Montreal against the Canadiens and goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff set a prestigious team record.
In making 35 saves, Kiprusoff passed Mike Vernon as the all-time leader for the Calgary Flames in goaltending wins with 263.
It was a significant night for Rene Bourque who scored two goals on three shots. His first goal came on the power play to tie the game at one. Then he scored his third of the season in the second period from Matt Stajan and Chris Butler.
Butler, who picked up two assists, recorded his first two points as a member of the Flames. The young defenceman was acquired by Calgary in the deal that saw Robyn Regehr go to the Sabres. Alex Tanguay also notched a multi-point game with two assists. David Moss and Niklas Hagman also scored the Flames.
The Flames will continue on the road, as they next play the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday night. Game time is 5pm.

Better prep the Wheel of Justice…
The NHL has another questionable hit to review after an Edmonton Oilers win over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night at Rexall Place, and it’s a former Oiler who might be getting a phone call from Colin Campbell!
With just under seven minutes to go in the third period of what was then a 1-0 game, Raffi Torres lined up Oilers rookie Jordan Eberle in the Vancouver end, drilling him right in front of the ref. The arm went up instantly and Torres was given an elbowing major and a game misconduct, along with a fighting major for the scrap he got into with Ryan O’Marra, who immediately answered the bell for his teammate upon seeing the hit. (After the jump: Player reaction & video of the hit!) (more…)

Well folks. Expect a hard working Super Bowl. What else would you expect from the Steelers and Packers? But that is what we have. Two football clubs with contrasting offenses when analyzing their strengths– one in the air and the other on the ground.
Oh, and both defenses have been terrific lately too. The Packers’ cornerbacks and the Steelers’ defensive line deserve high praise.
