About Ryan »

Just love hockey and the Flames. I have followed this team through the thick and the thin. When I was a kid growing up in Northern Alberta (Oilers country) I used to wear my Flames Jersey to school, only to get dumped into the lost and found box by the bigger kids. I followed this team when they won the cup, and I followed this team when they went 7 years without making the playoffs. In general my body somewhat hibernates in the offseason of the NHL.

    The yelling match between Phaneuf and Sutter was after the Avs game, not the Chicago game.

    Ryan—I accidentally deleted your comment on Bryan's Sean Avery article. Here's the full text...go ahead and re-post whenever you feel like it:


    For being a "Senior Writer"you managed to post a piece of garbage. Perhaps because it is about a piece of trailer trash in "Sean Avery". I have never heard trash talking in any sport done in this way.

    Sean Avery would be an embarrassment in any league.


    Sincerest apologies for the mistake. Thanks as always Ryan.

    Hey Ryan,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Ryan!
