Matchsticks and Gasoline, a Calgary Flames community

After news broke that not all Flames players would be attending the team's annual charity golf tournament, NHLPA player rep Matt Stajan has said that a number his teammates will instead be traveling to New York in a final effort to influence CBA negotiations before Saturday's deadline. "It is unfortunate we all can't go, but, obviously, getting a new CBA is our No. 1 focus because we want to play hockey. We don't want to be locked out and have a bunch of other charity events cancelled . . . or can't attend because we're locked out," Stajan told the Calgary Herald.

This was an examination of the Jokinen and Tanguay signings whle questioning the Dawes buyout as well. Leave your comments if you have some discussion points or questions for me on the article.
