Hmm..which news is bigger? Our NHL affiliate trading a player or the Grizzlies rolling out a concessions loyalty program?
Waking Brett Sutter up in jail after being hung over and punching a cab driver apparently makes him really cranky. He has been charged with alleged assault for the punching incident in Phoenix.
"I have set the wrong example not only for children who love the Flames and hockey but also for my brother who has been such a great example for me. I want to thank everyone for their support and wisdom over the past few days. It has been especially difficult because of the type of person I really am and will continue to be. "
Gee, you think? Yes, everyone make mistakes, but punching something for nothing?
Meanwhile, yesterday the Flames announced they traded Sutter (LW) and Ian White (D) to Carolina for Anton Babchuck (D) and Tom Kostopoulos (RW). The GM of the Flames is Darryl Sutter, Brett's father. Is this like a super-major time-out or grounding? Nope. All news from the Flames camp says they'd been talking about this trade since October, before the face-punching incident. I don't know much about these players, but they traded 2 common last names for 2 uncommon.
More Flames news: Olli Jokinen was suspended for cross-checking Wojtek Wolski yesterday. He'll miss the next three games against Chicago, Detroit, and the New York Rangers.
Hugo Carpentier (F) was recalled by Abbotsford today.
Have you been in agony long enough? The customer loyalty plan works like this: You have to attend a Grizz games (no kidding...) When you buy your first meal ($6 or more) you'll be given a punch card. Buy 11 more such meals and the next will be free (lucky #13). The Center Ice Boar's Head, and Angelina's stands are participating and will have rotating specials for home games.
Start your card this weekend with two home games! Friday night is $5 ticket night with a Maverick receipt, and Saturday is Military Night. The best seats have been sold for Friday! Way to go fans!

Didn't he punch a cabbie? What is it with hockey players and cabbies?
