With Doug Barkley out of the picture as Peter Maher's radio colour man, it makes entirely too much sense for former Flames coach Terry Crisp to sign with The Team and stay in Calgary with his children and grandchildren. As he's hinted for years, newly-appointed coach Don Cherry will finally cave in by allowing his Mississauga IceDogs to draft a foreigner in the CHL's European draft. While TV audiences continue to dwindle this time of year, only three of the 82 playoff games this spring have failed to sell out. If this trend continues, it may be something that we are going to have to address. Football is a different game.
Every game is meaningful.
In hockey, if you don't make the playoffs, they ought to throw you out.
