Hello, it's me. Been a long time.
Hello, everybody. It has been a few years.
Remembering how kind many of you were to me back when my position was terminated, I wanted to let you know I was back writing for The Hockey News and their quest to have dedicated team sites.
My stories can be found at https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames/.
Admittedly, I feel out of practice and have plenty of catching up to do, but it's very exciting to be in the fold.
Thanks for your support.
Randy Sportak

So going by CP these days you’ve basically just confirmed you’re Darryl Sutter himself!
Or maybe Markstrom…
Or Huberdeau…
Or Kadri…
Or Lucic…
Or Treliving…
Or the ownership team…

Hi Randy,
Can you please find out what has happened to Kylington?
Asking before the leave him alone his personal life is private pile on.
Even though the Flames or himself posted pictures of his summer holiday Dj'ing in Greece on twitter last summer.
Also can you find out why Phillips was not given a chance with the team?

Like the Todd Rundgren reference too.

Always nice to see an ink stained wretch get a new gig, in this increasingly tough world for journalists.
Congrats Randy.

What a time to come back on the Flames beat!
At least you will have a lot of juicy off-season drama to write about

Personal question: did your name influence your career choice?

Great to see you here Randy! It's somehow comforting to see the likes of you and Eric D still writing about the Flames, makes whatever is happening now with the team feel impermanent. This too shall pass...
