How Dustin Wolf saved the Calgary Flames' season
Dustin Wolf's hometown stinks and he knows it.
The Calgary Flames goaltender is a native of Gilroy, California, which proudly bills itself as the "Garlic Capital of the World." Drive through its farmland, open the windows and the pungent odor of the garlic harvest envelops your olfactory system like malodorous blanket.

The Calgary Flames are not a perfect hockey team.
They don’t score a lot of goals. They low on what’s termed “elite” offensive skill.

As the 2024-25 regular season winds down, we’ll start turning our attentions to the future.
Quietly, one of the most important parts of the National Hockey League’s roster building tools is the waiver wire: the Calgary Flames currently feature a pair of blueliners (Joel Hanley and Brayden Pachal) that they acquired for the waiver fee.
