The NHL has been around for a very long time; at the time of writing, it is 106 years old. The Calgary Flames entered the league in 1972, originally operating out of Atlanta, Georgia as the Atlanta Flames. They operated for eight seasons there until financial difficulties forced their owner to sell the team to a group of Calgary businessmen. That group moved the Flames to “Cowtown” before the 1980-81 season. The flaming ‘a’ was changed to a flaming ‘c’, season tickets were sold by the thousands, and a new era began. The first stretch of the new-era Flames was immensely successful; the team qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs every season from 1980-81 until 1988-89.

Hey, NBC. Real Angelinos can tell Long Beach and Venice Beach are apart. Even though Los Angeles’ hosting of the 2028 Olympics was established in 2017 , news networks and media outlets proved yesterday that they still can’t tell the difference between two notable seaside cities in Los Angeles.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

As a fan of the Edmonton Oilers since the 1979-80 NHL season, I usually feel anxious during the offseason about the upcoming season. During the Stanley Cup-winning years from 1984 to 1990, there was a bit more calmness, but from 1990 to last offseason there always seemed to be a sense of uneasiness. Not this offseason. When Oilers CEO of Hockey Operations Jeff Jackson took over the general manager duties from Ken Holland in late June, he did a masterful job of making the Oilers better on paper than they were in the 2023-24 season.
