Flames' house of horrors

CALGARY - Snow White's Scary Adventures at Disneyland -- an original part of the Happiest Place on Earth -- was shut down in June.

All things considered, that was probably about the scariest part of visiting Anaheim.

Well ... other than the traffic snarls and cost of buying dinner for the whole family. But that's a different aspect to a California adventure.

The horror show the Calgary Flames want to be blasted to smithereens is at the home of the Anaheim Ducks, where they visit Friday night (8:30 p.m., Sportsnet West).

If you want to talk about scary, look up the Flames history at the Honda Centre.

"Oh, don't talk about that," Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff responded when the subject of his team's struggles was broached before heading to SoCal for Friday's clash.

"It's a challenge. That's a good team and playing well."











After benching Brad Richards should the New York Rangers eventually just buy him out?
  Yes.
  Might be a good idea.
  No.
  Not sure.
