I run the @FlamesNation website and occasionally appear on shows. I wrote a book about Flames draft history. I'm in the PHWA. Trying to get the score right.

A month after leading Aston Villa to a Europa League crown, John McGinn opens the World Cup scoring for Scotland. (Heck of a game with Scotland and Haiti right now.)

Stoked to have taken part as the Calgary picker in Sheng's mock!

Kuznetsov absolutely killed it on the defensive side of the game this year, joining the Flames in November and stabilizing MacKenzie Weegar's game and helping super-charge the PK.

Jordan Staal is the first player to score in five straight games to start a Stanley Cup Final since Jean Beliveau in 1956. Maurice Richard (1951) and Cyclone Taylor (1918) are the only other players to do it.

My Hart ballot: 1) Nathan MacKinnon 2) Nikita Kucherov 3) Connor McDavid 4) Macklin Celebrini 5) Nick Suzuki
Lightning Nikita Kucherov wins the Hart Trophy over Connor McDavid by 10 points This is the closest Hart Trophy vote since 2001-02 when Jose Theodore tied Jarome Iginla on points (Theodore had more 1st place votes)
