The Weekly Roundup

We are introducing a new segment to The Sports Roundup entitled ‘The Weekly Roundup,’ or TWR for short. These weekly briefings will ‘roundup’ the week that was in sports and break down any stories that interest our readers. Feel free to comment, suggest, bicker, or criticize any of our posts because we want to hear from you.

So without further ado, it’s time to roundup the wagons, the horses and all of your cattle because here we go!

Giddy-up!

• In Flames land this week, the Flames re-signed Craig Conroy to a two way contract. An insurance deal for the Flames, for a 38, soon to be 39, year old center who scored all of three goals last season. With Langkow injured and unlikely to start the season, the move gives the Flames a veteran presence at the pivot position. He is 9 games away from reaching 1000 career NHL games. This signing gives the Flames six natural centers - Langkow, Jokinen, Stajan, Conroy, Stone, and Backlund- under contract. Stone, Backlund and Conroy are all two way deals.
