Whered they play? Omni Coliseum When they were active? 1972-80 Playoff appearances: 7 Stanley Cup Victories: 0 Teams overall record: 636 GP – 268 W- 260 L - 108 T (.506 winning percentage) Most goals: Eric Vail 174 Most assists: Tom Lysiak 276 Most points – Tom Lysiak 431 Notable players: Tom Lysiak (1973-1979), Eric Vail (1973-80), Guy Chouinard (1974-80), Pat Quinn (1972-77), Dan Bouchard (1972-80) Phil Myre (1972-78), Ken Houston (1975-80), Jean Pronovost (1978-80) and Randy Manery (1972-77) Best Jersey: The jerseys that the Flames wore from 1973-77 were pretty classic.

(Image via Slapshotnahl) Worst record: The Atlanta Flames were on the wrong end of the playoff record for the fastest three goals scored by one team in a playoff games. The Toronto Maple Leafs scored three goals in 23 seconds – which is absurd – as Darryl Sittler scored twice in 12 seconds and Ron Ellis scored 11 seconds later on April 12th, 1979. Obligatory Pat Quinn photo: The hockey legend played with the team from 1972-77 and looked great rocking the Flames logo.

(Image via Game Worn Auctions) Best quote: Former Flames goaltender Jim Craig was not happy with the fans in Atlanta, saying "If I were a businessman Id grab this team and put them in a place thats gonna sell out and have a Stanley Cup within three years.. Owner Tom Cousins has put us too much time and effort into this to not deserve a winner." The team was sold just two months later. The announcement of the teams impending move: While this video looks at the Flames cup run, there is a good bit on the Cousins saying why he moved the team (spoiler alert, it had to do with money). Last game: The Atlanta Flames were knocked out of the playoffs when the New York Rangers defeated them 5-2 on home ice on April 12th, 1980. Captain: Jean Pronovost (Image via Pinterest) Whyd the move? The team made the playoffs seven times in their nine-year history, so winning wasnt necessarily a problem. Owner Tom Cousins admitted even if they sold out every night they still wouldnt be profitable – the team averaged just over 10,000 fans. Cousins was losing money in his real estate empire and he decided to sell the team to Canadian Nelson Skalania for a cool $16 million dollars.

The team adopted a similar logo and while it wasnt three years after Jim Craigs prediction, the Flames won the Stanley Cup during 1988-89 season.

Argos general manager Jim Barker uttered those words during an interview with TSN 1050 radio just prior to the CFLs annual free agent frenzy.Injured Los Angeles Lakers point guard Steve Nash posted an open letter on Facebook to fans of the team on Friday night. The 40-year-old detailed his injuries and the toll over 1,300 NBA games have taken on his body, adding to ignore his back issues any longer would be irresponsible. The two-time NBA MVP was ruled out for this NBA season in October with severe nerve damage in his back. Below is the open letter in full. I definitely dont want to be a distraction, but I felt it best everyone heard from me in my own words. I have a ton of miles on my back. Three buldging disks (a tear in one), stenosis of the nerve route and spondylolisthesis. I suffer from sciatica and after games I often cant sit in the car on the drive home, which has made for some interesting rides. Most nights Im bothered by severe cramping in both calves while I sleep, a result of the same damn nerve routes, and the list goes on somewhat comically. Thats what you deserve for playing over 1,300 NBA games. By no means do I tell you this for sympathy - especially since I see these ailments as badges of honor - but maybe I can bring some clarity. Ive always been one of the hardest workers in the game and I say that at the risk of what it assumes. The past 2 years Ive worked like a dog to not only overcome these setbacks but to find the form that could lift up and inspire the fans in LA as my last chapter. Obviously its been a disaster on both fronts but Ive never worked harder, sacrificed more or faced ssuch a difficult challenge mentally and emotionally.dddddddddddd I understand why some fans are disappointed. I havent been able to play a lot of games or at the level we all wanted. Unfortunately thats a part of pro sports that happens every year on every team. I wish desperately it was different. I want to play more than anything in the world. Ive lost an incredible amount of sleep over this disappointment. Competitiveness, professionalism, naiveté and hope that at some point Id turn a corner has kept me fighting to get back. As our legendary trainer Gary Vitti, who is a close friend, told me, Youre the last to know - and my back has shown me the forecast over the past 18-20 months. To ignore it any longer is irresponsible. But that doesnt mean that life stops. This may be hard for people to understand unless youve played NBA basketball, but there is an incredible difference between this game and swinging a golf club, hiking, even hitting a tennis ball or playing basketball at the park. Fortunately those other activities arent debilitating, but playing an NBA game usually puts me out a couple of weeks. Once youre asked to accelerate and decelerate with Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving it is a completely different demand. Im doing what Ive always done which is share a bit of my off-court life in the same way everyone else does. Going forward I hope we all can refocus our energies on getting behind these Lakers. This team will be back and Staples will be rockin.
